I own both boards - both do work, BUT there are still bugs: USB3 and built-in NIC do not work on either by default. Memory is only reported as roughly 512mb at this point.
You're welcome to help. :)
As far as your other question... I'm not sure what you mean... USB3 is a physically different connector, with a different pinout entirely, although it does retain backward compatibility with USB2. See http://www.addonics.com/emerging_technologies/usb3_tutorial.asp
If you're referring to the bios chips themselves, they're DIP8s -- both the USB3 and the regular E350M1 use the same kind of chip, but the BIOSes themselves do differ.
Hopefully this helps.
Thanks! -Marshall

Dear coreboot folks,
looking at the offers there are two models ASRock E350M1 [1] and ASRock E350M1/USB3 [2] where the second one cost about 10 € more.
Does coreboot run on both boards?
OT: Does anyone know if there are different chips or plugs/ports used for the ASRock E350M1/USB3 or is that a software/BIOS limitation?
Thanks,
Paul
