What these files are for

A BIOS dump is a full image of the board's SPI flash chip. It is written back with an SPI programmer when the original firmware is corrupted, after a chip replacement, or to recover from a failed update. Read and save the original chip first: serial number, DMI data and the Intel ME / AMD PSP state differ between boards.

A boardview is the component placement map of the PCB: click a part or a net and the viewer highlights where it is and what it connects to. Used together with the schematic to find test points.
