current BIOS v. 1.08C:
Solved problems:
- The display will now be powered off if you close the LID and “Do nothing”
is chosen at the Power Options Properties.
Known errors, problems and restrictions:
- If setting a BIOS password and choosing “Discard changes & exit”
the password will be kept anyway.
- The system can not reach the highest CPU frequency in battery mode
(protection function and power saving): e.g. Intel Core Duo T2300 runs
at maximal 1.66GHz in AC-mode; in battery mode only 1.33GHz are available.
- An error message will appear if the system is resuming from standby mode
and a virtual operating system (VM Ware) is running in parallel.
The reason therefore is that VT cannot resume from standby mode.
Investigations regarding this problem are still ongoing.
Additional information:
- The thermal table has been adjusted to support the Merom T5200 (TJ85)
processor.
- The BIOS can also be flashed in windows environment by using
“WinFlash_Pi150108.exe”.

in battery mode only 1.33GHz are available.
- An error message will appear if the system is resuming from standby mode
and a virtual operating system (VM Ware) is running in parallel.
The reason therefore is that VT cannot resume from standby mode.
