Firmware dump for an Apple logic board 820-2496-A, packed as a small RAR of about 1.28 MB. Apple identifies its boards with 820-xxxx numbers printed on the PCB, and the suffix letter marks the revision, so check both before use. The name gives no Mac model, firmware version or chip type, so treat it as a raw EFI image for the boot ROM. Technicians flash such images with an SPI programmer to recover a board that will not chime or boot. Read and keep a backup of the original chip, since it carries the serial number and other machine-specific data.
