BIOS Renamer for Asus Motherboards

Cross-platform Rust implementation of Asus' Windows-only BIOS renamer utility.

Usage

Before you can use this, you need to compile the code to create an executable.

Install Rust on Unix-like OSs: Linux, macOS, etc.

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

You can even install rust with homebrew on MacOS

brew install rust 

Confirm Rust is Installed

Once you install Rust, you will have the build toolchain. You can confirm that by running these commands.

# cargo 1.66.0 (d65d197ad 2022-11-15)

rustc --version
# rustc 1.66.0 (69f9c33d7 2022-12-12)

Build Executable

Go to the root of this repo and run cargo build

cd bios_renamer_for_asus
cargo build

Using the BIOS renamer

From a File Manager (Windows, some Linux DEs)

Drag the BIOS file to be renamed onto the application icon. The application will automatically rename the file.

From a terminal (Windows, macOS, Linux)

1. Navigate to the directory containing the application.
2. Make the application executable if it is not:

   chmod +x ./bios_renamer_for_asus 

3. Call the application with the path to the BIOS file as the first argument:

   ./bios_renamer_for_asus <path-to-BIOS-file>

4. Follow the instructions given by the application.

Easy Script for non-developers:

This will work on linux and mac

#!/bin/bash
## install rust
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
## clone repo
git clone https://github.com/iAmSomeone2/bios_renamer_for_asus.git
## create binary
cd bios_renamer_for_asus && cargo build
## Execute Binary, providing firmware path
## eg: ./bios_renamer_for_asus <path-to-BIOS-file>
./target/debug/bios_renamer_for_asus ~/Downloads/ROG-CROSSHAIR-VIII-DARK-HERO-ASUS-4201.CAP

Follow the instructions given by the application.
