Abstract: A method for activating the data processing system via a flash memory device is disclosed. The method involves connecting the USB Flash Memory device with the data processing system and storing the driver of the USB Flash Memory device in the BIOS of the data process system. When activating the system, the driver drives the USB flash memory device and then a startup program in the USB memory flash device activates the system.

Abstract: An automatic keyboard BIOS undating method utilizes the updating keyboard BIOS in the Firmware Hub to update the keyboard BIOS system of keyboard control. It comprises the steps of: setting up at least one updating control key; adding a distinguishing signal and an updating instruction to the Boot block of the keyboard BIOS, with the former used to distinguish the updating control key; pressing at least one updating control key to send out the updating control message; the system executing the updating instruction; deleting the keyboard BIOS; updating the keyboard BIOS and saving it in the control unit.

Abstract: The invention is a debugging method through a computer serial port under system shutdown and standby conditions. The object of the invention is to implant a power-off debug program and a standby debug program into Basic Input Output system of a computer. Power management is used to supply power to the BIOS and serial port when the system is booting up. A switch is provided to turn on/off the serial port output condition of the destination system. A cable is used to connect a remote system and the destination system. Monitoring software is executed in the remote system and the remote system is used to monitor the BIOS debug conditions of the destination system. The invention allows a local system to debug under system boot-up or system standby conditions. The efficiency of the system debug process is thus increased.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and device for updating the keyboard controller basic input-output system (KBC BIOS) of a computer. The updating is performed by simple circuits controlled through serial ports. A user can select the items to be updated so as to save time and effort.
