    OpenBoardview will not open BVRE files

    There are some resources here with BVRE file extension but I have been unable to open any of them with the Windows version of Openview software.

    The file format is simply not supported when attempting to open with Openview 8.0 or 9.03, the only released versions of OpenView that I have been able to find. Any solution for this with Openview?

    Much thanks,

      BVRE files are encrypted. Unless the encryption type and key is published, OpenBoardView will not be able to support them.

          Thanks very much. No clue this was encrypted so thanks. I wonder why any in the forum would post without a key. What would be the point? Thanks indeed again.

              Custom file formats and encryption for data files is usually used as a vendor lock-in mechanism.

                  Notice to users of XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76 programmers regarding BIOS backup file size
                  by m1ch43lzm
                  Hi everyone
                  I noticed on the Xgpro software the BIOS backup files have extra bytes at the end when reading some chips, this is because the Xgpro software also reads the OTP region of those flash chips, and by default will append that region to the saved file
                  Programmer models: XGecu TL866II Plus / T48 / T56 / T76

                  Example: GD25LQ128D (1.8V), IC size is listed as 0x1000000 Bytes (16777216 bytes) + 0xC00 bytes, those extra 0xC00 bytes will be appended to the end of the saved file by default, resulting in a file size of 16780288 bytes
                  There's also an extra OTP Secu.R...

                  Need Clean BIOS/EC Bin File for Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e - Stuck with 0275 Error CMS

                  Hello everyone,

                  I am attempting a repair on a Lenovo ThinkPad Yoga 11e that is currently stuck at boot with the error: "0275 error CMS" even after setup new bios battery and will not allow me to enter the BIOS/Setup.

                  This is a critical issue that I believe requires flashing the BIOS chip directly using a programmer (e.g., CH341A/RT809H), as standard software updates or resets are not possible.

                  I have opened the laptop and identified the main BIOS chip...

                  Lenovo ThinkStation P520 BIOS file needed
                  by Forest79
                  Hello,

                  I got a Lenovo ThinkStation P520 (Type 30BF) from a friend, asking me for a repair. Windows 11 offered a firmware upgrade as an optional update, and it failed.
                  The emergency flash procedure from the hardware manual has also failed. So, I asked an acquaintance with better skills to flash the BIOS directly.

                  However, the chip (a Macronix MX25L25673GMI-08G) has a size of 32 MB, and the BIOS file from the Lenovo website (extracted with UEFITool) has a little more than 16 MB. Thus, the software my acquaintance used (SiberiaProg v1.45, with a CH341A Programmer)...

                  WANTED: Teboview / TVW file format specification to write OpenBoardview decoder
                  by inflex
                  There's file format called "Teboview" with an extension .tvw, and I've noticed some Lenovo laptop boards are using it.

                  I would like to write a decoder for the format for OpenBoardview but thus far, naturally, I've not found any useful specification on the internet. I've downloaded TeboView-ICT but unfortunately it also doesn't provide a lot of information about the technical information for each part/net/etc.

                  I've decoded a moderate amount of the file format but I would *really* appreciate it if anyone could drop a file format spec accidentally
