********* BIOS Naming Convention **********

BIOS name  : PPPPPSSY.MDD
PPPPP      : 5-Bytes for project name
SS         : 2-Bytes supplement for PPPPP (if applicable)
Y          : Year, 5 -> 2015, 6-> 2016, 7->2017
MDD        : Month + Date, for months, A -> Oct., B -> Nov., C -> Dec.

E.g., For BIOS with the build date, 6/21/2019:
        H12SSW-iN -> H12SSW9.621
