PIP9-1 Downloads
Please notice: The following information and drivers are valid for the PIP9-1
(revision A to C) only. Please go to the PIP9-1x Download Area
for the most recent PIP versions.
BIOS Upgrade
BIOS upgrades are available as Windows executable program files. Running the downloaded
.exe file on a Windows PC, allows you to create a bootable floppy containing a minimal
FreeDOS installation, the BIOS image, and all tools
required to update the BIOS. Booting this floppy on the MPL SBC will update the existing BIOS
after the normal "Are you sure?" questions. Additionally, the BIOS update floppy allows you
to backup the existing BIOS in case you want to revert the upgrade. Please refer to the
BIOS user manual for more information.
Warning!
Please update the BIOS only if you are experiencing problems and you are sure that the new
BIOS revision will solve it. Careless updating may result to more problems.
If you are not sure about the implications, please contact MPL AG.

Windows XP embedded Support Package
| Operating System | Driver | Version | Description |
| Windows XP embedded | MPL_WXPESP_Rev_D.zip | D | Windows XP embedded Support Package |
In order to be able to use this package, you will need the Windows XP embedded development tools
The Windows XP embedded Support Package (WXPESP) consists of
- MPL PIP specific Macro Packages containing all Hardware dependencies required or optional for MPL PIP6, PIP7, PIP8, PIP9 and PIP10
- Repackaged Windows XP Drivers for all PIP hardware not contained in the standard distribution of Microsoft
- Demo projects for all Packaged Industrial PCs of MPL AG
The demo projects are distributed as stand alone SLX Definition files. The resulting images will be around 250 MB in size and represent a fairly complete starting base for your own projects. The Packages containing drivers and hardware dependencies have been organized as a "MPL Hardware Repository" for easy inclusion into the Windows XP Embedded data base and easy upgrade in the future.
For further information about Windows XP embedded, please contact Microsoft Inc.
