Abstract
A method for displaying debug codes of a BIOS includes the steps of: initializing a host electronic system and sending out a debug code corresponding to the initialization of the host electronic system to a debug card; displaying the debug code on an LED-display screen of the debug card; transmitting the debug code displayed on the LED-display screen to an application software; choosing the BIOS file corresponding to the debug code displayed, then acquiring and displaying the information via the application software. A system implementing this method includes a host electronic system with a BIOS for sending out a debug code during the initialization; a debug card connected electrically to the host electronic system for receiving and displaying the debug code sent out by the host electronic system; an application software for acquiring and displaying the information corresponding the debug code displayed on the debug card.
