## **Panasonic BIOS Update Extractor**
#### **Description**
Parses Panasonic BIOS Update executables and extracts their SPI/BIOS image. The utility automatically uses [Rustam Abdullaev's unpack_lznt1](https://github.com/rustyx/unpack_lznt1) tool in order to decompress the initially Microsoft LZNT1 compressed resource data.
#### **Usage**
You can either Drag & Drop or manually enter the full path of a folder containing Panasonic BIOS Update executables.
#### **Download**
An already built/frozen/compiled Windows binary is provided by me. Thus, **you don't need to manually build/freeze/compile it**. 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 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 python script, you need to have the following 3rd party Python modules installed:
* [PEfile](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pefile/)
To run the python script or its built/frozen/compiled binary, you need to additionally have the following 3rd party tool at the same directory:
* [unpack_lznt1](https://github.com/rustyx/unpack_lznt1) (i.e. unpack_lznt1.exe)
#### **Build/Freeze/Compile with PyInstaller**
PyInstaller can build/freeze/compile the utility at Windows, 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. Use pip to install PEfile:
> pip3 install pefile
4. Build/Freeze/Compile:
> pyinstaller --noupx --onefile Panasonic_BIOS_Extract.py
At dist folder you should find the final utility executable
