During BIOS development, many chipset-related settings that are not relevant to the platform under development are hidden in the BIOS setup, however some of those appear in the biosconfig -get_setup_config output.
To view chipset-related settings, use the biosconfig -get_setup_config command:
<BIOSCONFIG> <NET1_Option_ROM_> <HELP_STRING>This Option enables execution of the ......</HELP_STRING> <DEFAULT_OPTION>Enabled</DEFAULT_OPTION> <SELECTED_OPTION>Enabled</SELECTED_OPTION> <OPTION-0>Disabled</OPTION-0> <OPTION-1>Enabled</OPTION-1> </NET1_Option_ROM_> </BIOSCONFIG>
