Using your ROM, I'm getting USB keyboard in both grub and linux.
You might try setting SeaBIOS's usb-time-sigatt to something higher than 100: https://www.seabios.org/Runtime_config
"The USB2 specification requires devices to signal that they are attached within 100ms of the USB port being powered on. Some USB devices are known to require more time. Prior to receiving an attachment signal there is no way to know if a USB port is empty or if it has a device attached. One may specify an amount of time here (in milliseconds, default 100) to wait for a USB device attachment signal. Increasing this value will also increase the overall machine bootup time."
Here's the command to add a 200ms wait to your rom: cbfstool coreboot.rom add-int -i 200 -n "etc/usb-time-sigatt"

Hi, Martin, Daniel, Kyösti, Loic, Hi, friends
The problem was in the programmer which programmed incorrectly. Now I see the post codes and SeaBIOS works. Also as you mentioned, it is important to put the memory in the slot furthest away from the processor, I have only one memory module and otherwise the system doesn't work.
"As was mentioned by Daniel, you don't need the external card's VBIOS built into the rom. If you're using SeaBIOS, it will read the vbios directly from the card."
You are right, in this case all is working, otherwise - doesn't (shouldn't use VGAbios from the Internet in my case).
Now my keyboard does not work (Logitech Y-UL76). I have tried in all slots (even using 10 pin to usb adapter). The power seems to be there, because the mouse once blinked when it was connected-disconnected. Usb settings enabled in config, as I understand. Please help to fix.
Here is my config and binary (attached to the e-mail). Config: http://pastebin.com/BYgiLabA
Thank you very much! Maxim Tried in all slots (even using adapter 10 pin usb)

Hi Maxim, Try this: Remove all of the memory in the board except for one DIMM in the slot furthest away from the processor. AGESA on this chip has a requirement (that some vendors apparently worked around) that DIMMs be populated from the furthest slot to the closest.
It looks like the code to route Port 80h to PCI isn't in that chipset. That's something we should check before giving that option.
As was mentioned by Daniel, you don't need (or want) the external card's VBIOS built into the rom. If you're using SeaBIOS, it will read the vbios directly from the card.
If these steps don't help, I'll work with you to get a rom that boots for you.

Thank you for advise about pc speaker console! I will try it today. I am using CH341A programmer and its soft of 1.18 version. Also i am using the original WINBOND W25Q64BV 8mb chip. Yes, if I flash back the original UEFI ROM onto the chip - the system start up again.

My F2A85-M is currently down, so I can't test it with your config - sorry (but maybe in two days or so). But one more thing you could try is the pc speaker console:
https://www.coreboot.org/Spkmodem
At least, if it starts beeping this would be already a good sign.
Btw.: How did you actually flash coreboot onto the chip? And did you use the original BIOS chip? If not, did you make sure your other chip is also 8M in size? If you flash back the original ROM onto the chip - does the system start up again?
Cheers, Daniel

I tried different ways to initialize the VGA card - does not work. I also tried with your config file - did not work (as I remember, it was further suggested in the manual mode to complete the configuration). Here is my config file: http://pastebin.com/RVLcGku8 I have a feeling that coreboot is programmed or read (from the spi flash) to the wrong address, although it is unlikely because it is, as I understand it, is written in the mainboard sources, and I never touched them.

Hi Daniel,
Now I have compiled coreboot 4.5 with the SeaBIOS 1.9.3 as a payload and the VGAbios: I am using the Asus EN8600GT as a videocard (PCIe) and I took out the binary here: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/?architecture=& manufacturer=Asus&model=8600+GT&interface=PCI-E&memType=& memSize=256&since=
To my understanding, when using an external graphics card you don't need to extract or put any VGA blobs in. But you need to initialize the PCIe video. Can you provide us with the full config you are using, please? Or did you try my config which I linked in my initial answer? (There, it should be already enabled as far as I remember)
Also I have turned on in console settings "Show POST codes...", but there is nothing works:(
You probably also need POST_DEVICE_PCI_PCIE set in your .config. In menuconfig: "Device to send POST codes to" -> "PCI/PCIe".
As for the serial port: I think this mainboard is not a retail version, but came from ASUS Essentio Desktop PC CM1745.
http://www.ascendtech.us/asus-f2a85-m-cm1745-dp-motherboard_i_mb90mibiw5g0xb...
Looks like RS232 level translator ICs are also missing and some other differences on BOM too.
Indeed, there seem to be different versions of the board then. I have the retail version, and mine has the connectors soldered. Can someone update the wiki, please?
Cheers, Daniel
