This guide provides an overview of how to upgrade or install the developer platform
UEFI firmware image on an Intel® Server Board S1200RP UEFI Development Kit.
1.1 The Development Kit
The development kit helps engineers design, test, and debug U n i f ied Extensible
Firmware Interface (UEFI) drivers and applications on a UEFI compliant system. You
can download firmware and documentation from the Intel® Architecture Firmware
Resource Center: https://firmware.intel.com/develop/server-development-kit

.
1.2 Requirements
Before upgrading or installing a UEFI compliant firmware image on your development
kit, you need the following skills, components, and tools:
• Intel® Server Board S1200RP UEFI Development Kit target system,
assembled with components from the supported hardware component list.
• PC assembly skills.

Getting Started with the
• USB FAT-formatted flash drive.
• SPI flash programmer with software utility (optional).
• Host PC with Microsoft Windows* operating system (optional, for SPI flash).
You must use one of the supported firmware images included in this development kit:
• SDV_RP_B6_release.rom/.cap – The release version of the firmware, with
debugging features disabled. This is the recommended firmware image.
• SDV_RP_B6_debug.rom/.cap – The debug version of the firmware, with debug
output redirected to the serial port (COM1).
• SDV_RP_B6_srcdbg.rom/.cap – The source level debug version of the
firmware, which supports the Intel
®
UEFI Development Kit Debugger Tool using
the serial port (COM1). This image is recommended only for advanced debugging.
• FVMAIN.fv – The USB recovery firmware image, based on the release firmware.
The development kit also includes:
• Update Utilities for the UEFI Shell: FvUpdate_S1200RP.efi &
CapsuleApp.efi
• User documentation, including this guide and the release notes.
1.3 Supported and recommended hardware components
Table 1 and Table 2 describe the supported and recommended PC hardware
components (respectively) for the Intel® Server Board S1200RP UEFI Development
Kit.
You must use the motherboard and processor listed in the table with the firmware
images provided with the development kit.
