RaBiT (Radeon ATI BIOS Tuner) is a BIOS Info/Editor utility designed for all ATI Radeon Graphic Cards. This Tool is designed to give you as much details as possible about an ATI BIOS. As it is know, the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Card could easily be flashed to a Raden 9800 XT. And basically therefore the RaBiT utility is very usefull to check your Original BIOS and also the BIOS you would like to use to flash you ATI Card with.
Main Features
- Detailed BIOS information output
- Date of BIOS
- Description of BIOS
- Core/Memory Clock display
- Detailed Vendor Details
- Device ID
- SubSystem ID
- SubVendor ID
- Ability to modify the several BIOS parameters
- Core Clock defined within the BIOS
- Memory Clock defined within the BIOS
- Memory Size defined within the BIOS
- Memory Bus/Mode defined within the BIOS
- Ability to modify Memory Clock Timings
- Ability to modify the Video Out Settings
- None (no TV-OUT)
- PAL
- NTSC
- Non Standard TV Modes (PAL-M, PAL-60,NTSC-J,SCART RGB, PAL-CN & PAL-N)
- Logging Window (reflect changes)
Under development
Version 1.8
Version History
Version 1.7
- Added Radeon X850 BIOS support
- Fixed DID changing for Radeon X850 BIOSes
- New advanced CRC correction method for legacy (non ATOM) BIOSes
- Used other SSID source for ATOM BIOSes
- Chipset model now showed
- Update memory size in VESA BIOS Extension info block too
Version 1.6a
- Fix incorrect pipelines number (9) detection for Radeon 9800 cards
- Fix VIVO support detection for X800 BIOSes
Version 1.6
- Possibility X800 overclocking up to 900MHz (via BIOS)
- The driver (rabit.sys) should start now more reliably
- The analysis error of X800 scripts is corrected now
Version 1.5
- New advanced script parser for X800 BIOS
- Main Device ID now in PCIR
- Extended support of X800 BIOS:
- Frequences tuning support
- Timings tuning support
- Changing of memory size now possible
- Fixing CRC32
- Device ID changing support for X800/X700
- Realtime clocking probe support
Version 1.4
- Memory type definition (DDR/SDR) is corrected
- Chipset type now is determined on DeviceID
- Memory bus width edit is disabled (ROM BIOS practically always will reprogram it)
- The parameter tCas is edited in 'SDRAM Mode Register' too
- The changes now are may be cancelled on the 'ESC' key (works in Clocks and Timings pages)
- Possibility Real-Time Timings testing mode
- Possibility to disable and to restore (disabled) VIVO/AIW of the function
- Possibility to edit the list of connectors map (TV, DVI)
- Output Memory and Core clocks for X800 BIOS
- Output low level information about system ATI - videocard
Version 1.3
- The editing SubSystem ID and SubVendor ID is corrected
- Is added support of Radeon X300, X600 BIOS and initial for X800
- The incorrect definition of frequencies in some cases is corrected, for example, in a case SDR of memory
- Are hidden (are translated in read only) some "uninteresting" timings parameters, the controller of memory ('Write Latency', 'Command Latency', 'Strobe Latency')
- Some new parameters of the controller of memory R300 are added, concerning to a signal Out Enable ('Shift of OE signal for WRITE Data', ' Shift of OE signal for WRITE Data Strobe', 'Memory Refresh Rate'), that can slightly boost productivity
- Editing the parameter 'Memory Refresh Rate' is added
- Is added WinXP themes support
- Editing a size of memory is improved
- The log now is colored
Version 1.2
- The correction of the code ' Device ID ' for R3x0 or above is corrected
- The definition of chipset frequency for 9600XT is corrected
- Editing a memory size for R3x0 cards is added
- The memory type (SDR/DDR) editing for R3x0 is added
- Editing the parameter tRAS is corrected
- Added support for timings parameters:
- Write Latency (tWrL)
- Command Latency (tCMD), Strobe Latency (tSTB)
- RAS to CAS Write delay (tRcdWR)
- Row activate to Row active command time (tRRD)
- Read to Write Turnaround Time (tR2W)
- Write Recovery Time (tWR)
- Write to Read Turnaround Time (tW2R)
- Read to Read Turnaround Time (tR2R)
- Refresh Row Cycle Time (tRFC)
- Shift the pos of RBS signal for READ data (tRBS)
- Shift the pos of ERST signal for READ data (tERST)
- QSREQ position (tQSREQ)
- The decoding for some timings values is corrected
- The extended operation log of RaBiT is added,may be copied to clipboard by pressing Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, and saved to file
- Editing a description string of BIOS is added
- The list of the manufacturers is added, now 'SubVendor' code is decoded
- The BIOS checksums now fixed completely
Version 1.0a
- Official first release of RaBiT (Radeon ATI BIOS Tuner)
