AMD vBIOS flash utility for Linux.
This tool can be used to flash or dump the AMD graphics card vBIOS.
Before AMD acquired the company ATI this tool was also known as atiflash.
Before flashing a new vBIOS you should dump your vBIOS first. For this you need the adapter number of your card. The following command will display information of all AMD adapters in the system.
sudo ./amdvbflash -iIf you have only one card installed the adapter number will probably be 0.
Next we will do a backup of our vBIOS. Where 0 is the adapter number and <file> the name of your backup.
sudo ./amdvbflash -s 0 <file>Now we can flash the new vBIOS to our card.
The following commands will write the vBIOS image in file <file> to flash ROM in adapter 0. Notice that the -f option is not supported in external versions.
sudo ./amdvbflash -f -p 0 <file>You must reboot your system now.
This will show you all possible commands and options that are available.
sudo ./amdvbflash -hOur goal is to reverse engineer the flash utility. For this reason any help is welcome.
