i have tried it, microcode is now updated, but this does not help with linux not wants to boot with iommu enabled

For our Richland 15h family AMD CPUs (and for 16h also) , this microcode update procedure - accessible from coreboot's configuration "menuconfig" menu - is broken, I've observed this 0K problem too. You should leave this "Include CPU microcode in CBFS" option as "Do not include microcode updates" and just run a script from this wiki - http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Lenovo_G505S_hacking#AMD_microcode_updat...
- it will patch the AMD microcodes hardcoded inside .c source code
files as the arrays of hex values. After you'll patch your coreboot, rebuild it and install to your motherboard, your microcode's patch level should change from 0x0600110f to 0x0600111f (0f->1f)

I tried only the one included in current master tree.
But CBFS reports me an 0KB blob as an output ... so that its mostlikele the reason it halts after boot (maybe updating an not working microcode to the cpu than ?)
i have microcodes enabled per linux kernel update dmesg | grep microcode: [ 3.794585] microcode: CPU0: patch_level=0x0600110f [ 3.794588] microcode: CPU1: patch_level=0x0600110f [ 3.794595] microcode: CPU2: patch_level=0x0600110f [ 3.794602] microcode: CPU3: patch_level=0x0600110f [ 3.794653] microcode: Microcode Update Driver: v2.2.

Which microcode gives you a brick? Have you tried those new 2018 microcodes (not merged yet to coreboot) for 15h generation - https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/28273 ? If not, here is a quick & secure way to get them - http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Lenovo_G505S_hacking#AMD_microcode_updat... (although this script is at "Lenovo G505S hacking" page, the same microcodes should work for desktop Richland CPUs as well) . By the way, it could help you to get your hardware virtualization (IOMMU) working On Fri, Nov 2, 2018 at 7:06 PM kinky_nekoboi kinky_nekoboi@bluetardis.de wrote:
Hi Mike, i hope i can help u i am just a User of coreboot and noo skilled coreboot hacker yet lol. The A10-6800K should work as its the same CPU core/ gen. do not include microcode it makes the rom a brick mode. U have to add a VGA bios if u are using the Internal GPU. i am using a F2A85M rev 1.1 (not pro and not LE, they are quite rare)

Nice report. Do you think A10-6800K CPU would have worked at this motherboard? Or only A8-6600K is supported? Also, what hardware revision of this motherboard do you have? (there were F2A85M / --//-- PRO and some other revisions, so I'm a bit confused) . I am seriously considering doing a similar build, but would like to get the fastest available CPU you could install there On Fri, Nov 2, 2018 at 4:29 AM kinky_nekoboi kinky_nekoboi@bluetardis.de wrote:

heeey
i am very happy that i have coreboot running now on my desktop machine...
ADDON-GPU card works now
Nvramcui works
Optionrom execution works.
IOMMU does not work .. debian has to boot with iommu=off.
but KVM virtualsation works somehow.
Suspend does not work.
USB is still extremely buggy ... only the USB3 Ports are useable.
here some output
