As well as 6386SE CPU is more expensive than 6328 CPU so please give me a favor. Please list some cheaper AMD CPUs name that can be built successfully when I use KGPE-D16 motherboard to install coreboot. Right now on ebay I also see a 6328 for $130 and a 6386SE for $225/best offer (the last and best owner controlled x86-64 CPU, get one while you can IMO). https://www.ebay.com/itm/AMD-Opteron-OS6386YETGGHK-16-Core-2-8GHz-16MB-6-4G… This one is in good condition (note the straight as an arrow capacitors on the bottom with none missing) FYI don't buy a CPU that has missing bottom capacitors or scratches on the pads, always ask a seller for a photo of the bottom if you buy a G34 CPU like the 6386SE. > I know my English is very poor, Naah it is fine :]

X230 Corebooted -> resume broken
by [799] 22 Feb '18

22 Feb '18

Hello, I have coreboot'ed my Lenovo X230 a while ago and run it with SeaBIOS as I needed a DualBoot Setup (Qubes OS + Win 10). After I had issues with standby/resume I decided to delete windows and run a Qubes OS only setup. in order to troublesshoot the problems with standby/resume, I decided to reflash the stock rom and reinstalled Qubes from scratch. Unfortunately it seems that the problem with standby is still there: If I close the lid, the laptop shuts off. It seems that it doesn't run a real clean shutdown as the shutdown is way to fast. Question: Could it be that something "broke" internally while flashing/reflashing Coreboot? Where can I start troubleshooting? I have already reset my BIOS to factory defaults - problem is still there: Close the laptop lid -> laptop goes off within.3sec. [799] -- Qubes 4rc3 + Coreboot > Lenovo X230 Qubes 4rc4 > Lenovo W540

I have a few Opterons which have this issue and it seems to pretty common. I assume that some "expert" put the CPU on a table before mounting it, and they move it one the table - can't imaging how people manage to chop off the chips otherwise. While some of these damaged CPUs seem to work just fine, I had several which do not recognize more than 1-2 pcs of memory and, thus, would not recommend buying one of these. Cheers, Daniel

Dear Taiidan, I have get KGPE-D16 motherboard from auction website but I find that AMD 6328 CPU is too expensive ($499 USD). As well as 6386SE CPU is more expensive than 6328 CPU so please give me a favor. Please list some cheaper AMD CPUs name that can be built successfully when I use KGPE-D16 motherboard to install coreboot. I know my English is very poor, You can ask me more detail if you can not understand this mail fully. > I will purchase USB CH341A along of purchase KGP-D16, thank for your suggestion >Feel free to ask any questions you have :D >I suggest that you purchase a 6386SE (16 cores, good for compiling) or >6328 (8 cores, better for games) CPU > >6328 average $80-120 USD >6386SE average $150-250 USD --- Avast 防毒軟體已檢查此封電子郵件的病毒。 https://www.avast.com/antivirus

AFAIK it's not only fam15 that is vulnerable. If you're going to ask, could you ask about updates for other CPU's than Ryzen in general? I also have fam14 and fam16 boards.

Re: [coreboot] When does AMD release the fam15 spectre microcode updates?

Maybe its' a good idea to write to AMD support regarding this question - please share a reply if you would get an answer. I'm curious about other fam15 CPUs as well, e.g. A10-5750M microcode update would be nice, maybe a request could be more general, e.g. : what is the estimated release date for the microcode updates for fam15 AMD CPUs (so a request is not about "opterons only") On Sun, Feb 18, 2018 at 2:47 PM, Mike Banon <mikebdp2(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Maybe its' a good idea to write to AMD support regarding this question > - please share a reply if you would get an answer.

Hi Kyösti Thanks a lot for the detailed answer!!.. I would never imagine that it was possible to find this schematics on the internet. With your answer this start to make much more sense. I'll spend some time trying to understand everything you said :) Thanks a lot again!
