Hi Robert/others,
So here we go !
I have downloaded the latest BIOS version's update file
mb_bios_b450-aorus-elite_f51.zip from Gigabyte's support site. The zip
archive contains 4 files :
B450AE.F51
Efiflash.exe
autoexec.bat
readme.txt
Since I have never updated BIOS before, I will appreciate assistance in
what I have to do next. In my understanding, I should
1) Extract the zip's contents somewhere
2) Format a USB pen drive /dev/da0s1 as msdosfs
3) Copy the zip's contents to /dev/da0s1
4) Boot from the pen drive
A couple of questions:
1) Is simply booting from the pen drive enough or do I have to carry out
some commands ? I do not think I should have to carry out any commands
because autoexec.bat contains the required command :
(efiflash.exe B450AE.F51)
2) There are multiple BIOS updates available at Gigabyte's support
website between my current BIOS version (F5) and the latest BIOS version
(F51). Can I directly update from F5 to F51, or whether each BIOS update
in between has to be carried out sequentially ? That really would be a
nightmare !
Thanks for any help,
Manish Jain
