Are there two varities of intel atom tunnel creek board E6xx???? with BIOS and without BIOS??

Also how to go to BIOS set up in intel atom tunnel creek E6xx boards. Which key we have to press in order to go to the BIOS? The one having in my lab is preloaded with fedora OS. I want to change the OS. I was not able to go to BIOS set up screen which will display which drive to boot first. Please help.

Also all atom boards have bootloader IC. If One removes the bootloader IC and attaches a USB drive, the atom processor would boot from the USB or it will fail??? Please help

Hello again.

If you obtained the development board from Intel, it appears there was only one configuration available.

If you have not already found these, here are some documents that might be helpful:

Hi:

In the user guide at the link I provided in previous post,

http://download.intel.com/design/intarch/manuals/324213.pdf# iid=3878 http://download.intel.com/design/intarch/manuals/324213.pdf# iid=3878

Please check out section 6.4.1 of this doc. It says press F2 or Delete during boot to enter the BIOS setup
