ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for displaying a basic input output system (BIOS) power-on self-test (POST) code and a method thereof are provided. The apparatus includes a BIOS, a conversion module, and an output module. The BIOS is used for generating a POST code. The POST code is transmitted via a low pin count (LPC) interface. The conversion module receives the POST code and converts the POST code into a system management bus (SMBus) format. The output module is used for receiving and outputting the POST code transmitted by the conversion module. The output module is an SMBus interface.
