I would not run any kind of BIOS update from within an emulator. I wouldn't (don't) even update BIOS in windows as it is far less reliable than doing so from DOS or instant flash.
What you need is a DOS boot medium with your update files contained on it.

I cannot run instant flash from normal BIOS.
I buy this motherboard for linux and the version is Linux Mint 18.1 x64 I try run.exe files on linux and install wine and newest kernel 4.11 x64 still get error message. fixme:ntoskrnl:PsTerminateSystemThread stub: 0 winevdm: Cannot start DOS application Z:\home\user\????????\AB35P4_250.exe because the DOS memory range is unavailable. You should install DOSBox. Please send Linux binary to update BIOS with any formats. Or tell me safely using DOSBOX to update bios? |

You can't get a freedos boot image and put the DOS BIOS update files on it?
Last I knew, admittedly several years ago, freedos was still getting some support and updates as quite a few companies were using it for firmware updates and even OS base... [EDIT] here's a link: http://www.freedos.org/download/ you can also search for opendos which was based off of Novell's DRDOS BUT I'd expect that freedos should work well enough to flash the BIOS...

You can use a program called Rufus to create a bootable USB drive. It comes with the ability to create a FreeDOS bootable drive by default.
After using it to create a FreeDOS USB Boot drive, you should be able to use that boot drive to update the BIOS using the DOS version of the bios updater for your motherboard. |
