Good day Rudolf, I tried your IMC checking instructions at G505S laptop :
" To check if IMC is active check if PCI 0:14.3 0x40 bit7 set. " what command do I need to use to check this? sudo setpci -s 14.3 40.b Despite command name, it will print the value.
and got 0x04 value. So bit7 is not set --> means IMC is disabled... Please tell, what could be a theoretical benefit for someone building their coreboot for G505S with IMC blob included?
you can try with: lspci -vvvxxxx
sudo lspci -s 14.3 -vvvxxxx 00:14.3 ISA bridge: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD] FCH LPC Bridge (rev 11) Subsystem: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
