Hello, Normally I buy Supermicro servers. Updating the bios works most of the time fine with the program Flashrom. [1] But now I have bought a type what is not supported by Flashrom.
Because of that the program asks with type of programmer to use, and presents a list. But I don't know which one to choose. And Supermicro support does not know that too. When I ask Supermicro support (Europe) for another solution to upgrade the bios, they only can advice me to create a bootable USB stick with MS-DOS using a Windows PC. This are servers what are used much with Linux, in my opinion it's normal to have some way to upgrade the bios without Windows. I would like to ask you if you think about buying a Supermicro server, first to ask Supermicro support for a way to update the bios. You can ask it to your sales-person, or here in Europe you can ask it at "support at supermicro dot nl". I guess there is a "support at supermicro dot com" too. With regards, Paul van der Vlis.
