Today, I had nothing to do with a whim, and decided to change the computer’s BIOS boot animation. I used to change it to Nagato Dameng when I was equipped with a computer. After a few years, it was a bit boring after all.
There was no record of the original replacement, and the tools and pictures used were also lost in a subsequent mistype. This time, I checked some information, and the process steps in the reference memory were successfully replaced. By the way, I recorded the process and made a reference for myself and others.

AFU
The motherboard of this computer is MSI B85M-E45. At that time, the price was about 500 yuan. I bought it for the price.
This motherboard is equipped with AMI’s Aptio4 UEFI BIOS, so download the firmware update tool AMI Firmware Update (AFU) from AMI’s official website (pay attention to the Aptio version, the earlier version is generally Aptio4, the latest may be Aptio V)
Click the download address of the corresponding version, and the download terms will pop up. After completing the reCAPTCHA verification, you can start the download.
The downloaded compressed package contains a copy of the license agreement, documents, EFI boot files, and the afuwin we need. Select the corresponding version according to the system architecture.
Select afuwin64.zip here, open it to a folder, unzip the entire folder

ChangeLogo is used to replace the Splash LOGO of the extracted BIOS image. But I only saw the tool introduction on the AMI official website, but I couldn’t find the download address, so I found this tool ChangeLogo on the third-party website: link: https://ift.tt/mv3y6gk Extraction code: 3src, download and unzip
