Ok I have tried to use bcpvpd but it was not working because of an incorrect input file format.

So I have done the following steps now:

1. Extract the .wph file from Bios .exe file (result see my last answer)

2. Loading the .wph file into Phoenix WinPhlash v1.7.16.0 to get some more information about the Bios (see attached log file)

3. Decompressed the .wph file with PhoenixTool v2.11 into several single Bios module files.
I guess it is the same what bcpvpd would have

ok in that case a colleague suggested that the file is probably
compressed and can be decompressed with a tool contained in the
bios_extract repository named bcpvpd
you can find it here
http://review.coreboot.org/gitweb?p=bios_extract.git;a=summary

i have not tried it on that file, please try yourself. if it works and
expands to the right size you can flash it. if not we would like to
hear about it :)
