CLI AG6601 Firmware 

BIOS

On power up some basic system information was brought up with the ESC key. This appears to include any potentially bootable devices it has found. The display does start:


Phoenix SecureCore Tiano (TM)
Copyright 1982-2011 Phoenix Technologies Ltd.

I found the F2 key got me into the BIOS which is labelled: Phoenix SecureCore Tiano Setup. Under Main -> System Information it is identified as BIOS Version AT120120.

Boot priority is covered in the Advanced -> Boot Configuration menu entry. As you can see it covers both UEFI and Legacy booting.


Boot Configuration
Quick Boot                 [Enabled]
Quite Boot                 [Disabled]
VESA Mode                  [Disabled]
Diagnostic Splash Screen   [Disabled]
Diagnostic Summary Screen  [Disabled]
UEFI Boot                  [Enabled]
Legacy Boot                [Enabled]
Boot Priority              [UEFI First]
BIOS Level USB             [Enabled]
USB Legacy Support         [Enabled]

There is a BOOT screen. I had a USB pen drive inserted and this screen showed:


Boot Priority Order
   1.  USB HDD:  SanDisk Cruzer Blade
   2.  USB CD
   3.  USB FDD:
   4.  ATAPI CD:
   5.  ATA HDD0: SATADOM-SH 3SE
   6.  ATA HDD1:
   7.  ATA HDD2:
   8.  ATA HDD3:
   9.  Other HDD
  10.  PCI LAN: Realtek PXE B02 D00
  11.  PCI BEV

As well as the usual options such as a Security tab for setting/clearing user and administrator passwords there are various other settings some of which mean absolutely nothing to me in the absence of a manual. For example

AMD -> CIMX SouthBridge ->USB Devices brings up:


USB1 OPTION   [Enabled]
USB2 OPTION   [Enabled]
USB3 OPTION   [Enabled]

..and the Item Specific help for each of them just echoes the option name. e.g. USB1 OPTION
