Advantech will charge $600 for each custom bios.
You simply set up your bios the way you want and take pictures of each
screens and then email them to your distributor He will then order the
custom bios.
You will be getting a bin file and a dos utility.
I made a dos bootable CF card that autoexecutes a dos command line to upload
the flash.
I then just boot the machine with the cf card in it and it will update the
flash.
Some advantech distributors (like Jaco and Apollo displays) can do this for
you for a fee.
Warning, the first custom bios file took me 4 weeks. Apollo is usually
faster.
