10. Customization
This section specifies information that OEMs can use to customize the interface for the Intel
®
Local Control Panel. Information here addresses loading new splash screens, changing menu
strings, changing the Intel

10.1 Intel
®
Local Control Panel Customization Kit
The Intel
®
Local Control Panel Customization Kit utility is used to convert files into a file format
that can be loaded by running the Intel FWPIAUPD.EXE firmware update utility. The Intel
®
Local
Control Panel Customization Kit utility is called ILCPCK.EXE.
10.1.1 Supported Switches
The ILCPCK.EXE utility supports several switch options. These options are described below
and are also described by using the /? switch with the ILCPCK.EXE utility at the command
prompt. The ILCPCK usage is as follows.
ilcpck [-b <file>] [-t <top>] [-l <left>] [-s1 <file>] [-s2 <file>] [-m <file>]
[-h <file>]
The following table describes the switches and their functions.

Function
-b <file>
Customizes the splash screen. The Intel
®
Local Control Panel splash screen bitmap must be 112x48
and monochrome. When the command is executed, the utility outputs a file called splash.hex.
-t <top>
Sets the number of pixels from the top of the display to show the splash screen. This argument plus
height of bitmap must not exceed 64 pixels. The -b argument must be specified when this argument is
used.
-l <left>
Sets the number of pixels from the left of the display to show the splash screen. This argument plus
width of bitmap must not exceed 128 pixels. The -b argument must be specified when this argument is
used.
-s1 <file>
Customize the primary string area displayed on the Intel
®
Local Control Panel. The input file should
contain one string per line up to 192 strings. The utility outputs a file called string1.hex unless -h is
specified as an argument.
-s2 <file>
Customize the secondary string area displayed on the Intel
®
Local Control Panel. The input file should
contain one string per line up to 192 strings. The output is string2.hex unless -h is specified as an
argument.
-m <file>
Customize the menu displayed on the Intel
®
Local Control Panel. The input file should be comma
delimited and should contain 8 integers per line for up to 128 menu items. The output is menu.hex.
