Broachlink Noah series embedded motherboard BIOS changes over time to reflect improvements, bug fixes, etc.

We share here the images of the BIOS ready for flashing.

1. Download the version that interests you.
2. Unzip the contents of the zip file on a USB stick FAT32 formatted.
3. Switch the BIOS to UEFI boot if it is not already the case
4. Insert the USB key with the BIOS on one of the USB ports then turn on the Noah card
5. The update process does this on its own.
   1. If you don't have a serial cable and you are sure to boot UEFI. You can momentarily remove the boot storage from your device (mSATA, eMMC, SATA, etc.) to be sure that it is the USB key that will be taken into account.
   2. While updating, the update process makes 1 beep when it starts updating and 2 beeps when it is finished. Please do not unplug the power until you hear the 2 end beeps.
6. Once the update is done, you can reset the normal boot device and reset the LEGACY boot parameters if your device is running in LEGACY
