So, i still don't know which firmware update tool to download,(seeing there are several in the site) and if there even are any of them compatible with my system. P.s: I already tried to download the Motherboard ID Tool (MBID), from the American Megatrends website, and followed the instructions precisely, but it still gave me a an error" - "d7 system not supported"or something of that sort. My question is, is updating the BIOS possible? And if yes - what do i need to download and install, as a software? Since my laptop died, i can't afford a new one, and i have a dissertation to write *sigh* I'm aware that this is probably some ancient version of the Bios, considering the fact that it's a fairly old PC, LOL ,but i really want to try and update it. So, I went to the setup menu on Start up and saw that my Bios was actually released in 2005. Then someone mentioned that it can actually have something to do with the Bios. There were several options, like new hardware that is not functioning properly, malware, viruses etc. I reinstalled Windows ( Ultimate 86x) and everything was fine up until 2 weeks ago when it started giving me Blue screens (of death) I did all the Windows suggested updates, but it still didn't fix anything. But there is no afulnx there.So, I've recently found my old PC and decided to try to fix it.

Probably, afulnx version could do the trick, but it is only mentioned in pdf files when you download AFU archives from official page. But the problem it the ipmi virtual media speed, which is unusably slow and impossible to even begin flashing. I have also made an eltorito bootable iso with needed files.

I used aptio 4 version of afuefi, because aption 5 version said to do so, looks generation dependent. I have successfully tested updating with afuefi from uefi shell.

I have not found any information about how to do it. So users can create update packages themselves?

Official Statement: AMI enables customers to create BIOS update packages that can be uploaded to LVFS. They restrict uploads to their hardware? So how it is then possible to update? Restricted to upload firmware for any hardware with vendor ID: DMI:American Megatrends Inc.

I have read that AMI joined LVFS service in 2018. And it is not possible to update it via Supermicro Update Manager - looks like bmc just cannot communicate with bios at all on this motherboard. I have a motherboard on Supermicro server (model X9SCM(+)/X9SCM).
