## **AMI BIOS Guard Extractor**
#### **Description**
Parses AMI BIOS Guard (a.k.a. PFAT) images and extracts a proper SPI/BIOS image.
#### **Usage**
You can either Drag & Drop or manually enter the full path of a folder containing AMI PFAT images.
#### **Download**
An already built/frozen/compiled binary is provided by me for Windows only. Thus, **you don't need to manually build/freeze/compile it under Windows**. Instead, download the latest version from the [Releases](https://github.com/platomav/BIOSUtilities/releases) tab. To extract the already built/frozen/compiled archive, you need to use programs which support RAR5 compression. Note that you need to manually apply any prerequisites.
#### **Compatibility**
Should work at all Windows, Linux or macOS operating systems which have Python 3.6 support. Windows users who plan to use the already built/frozen/compiled binary must make sure that they have the latest Windows Updates installed which include all required "Universal C Runtime (CRT)" libraries.
#### **Prerequisites**
To run the utility, you do not need any 3rd party tool.
#### **Build/Freeze/Compile with PyInstaller**
PyInstaller can build/freeze/compile the utility at all three supported platforms, it is simple to run and gets updated often.
1. Make sure Python 3.6.0 or newer is installed:
> python --version
2. Use pip to install PyInstaller:
> pip3 install pyinstaller
3. Build/Freeze/Compile:
> pyinstaller --noupx --onefile AMI_PFAT_Extract.py

#### **Description**
Parses Apple EFI files and renames them based on Apple's official $IBIOSI$ tag as follows: Model_Version_Build_Year_Month_Day_Hour_Minute_Checksum. The checksum is calculated and added by the utility in order to differentiate any EFI files with the same $IBIOSI$ tag. In rare cases in which the $IBIOSI$ tag is compressed, the utility automatically first uses [LongSoft's UEFIFind and UEFIExtract](https://github.com/LongSoft/UEFITool) tools.
