hello coreboot bois and girlz,i have succesfully booted my system with the Richland CPU installed with a Nvidia GT210 card.

also it seems that IOMMU is working now... maybe cause i have microcode updates in the kernel included this time ?

so i have to change my bugreport as it seems that this coreboot port + Seabios has somehow problems with Radeon Cards .... both the IGPU and addon cards

will feed your with extra news.

i have tried builds for F2A85M since version 4.8 dating back to mid 2018,

AMD-A8 5500 works properly with IOMMU enabled, still some stabilty
problems (full system freezes).

AMD A8-6600K shows the described behavior 

I also tried that manual microcode update in the past, didnt change
anything there, i could retry it for the current build.

Serial output gives no information about malfunctioning IOMMU or
something, the strugle begins as without IOMMU the system is notable to
initialize add-on videocards or the iGPU.

Surely it needs only minor changes... is there anybody working at this
port at the moment?

Hi there Nekoboy (sorry if I'm repeating my older questions, I
forgot). Please tell:

1) IOMMU - did it ever work on F2A85M board? If you're unsure, could
you try building the older coreboot just to check it?
2) Have you installed the unofficial microcode patches? If not, please
run this ./ucode.sh script at your coreboot directory:
http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Lenovo_G505S_hacking#AMD_microcode_updates
to conveniently and securely patch your cloned coreboot with these
updated microcodes, then try running Linux and tell what microcode
version do you see (confirmation of successful microcode install) and
check if IOMMU got fixed by it.

Step "2)" should be tried both for the latest coreboot and some older
version. Yes, a bit time consuming, but hopefully you could test it
well. By the way, I got A88XM-E which is not merged to coreboot yet
but is based on F2A85M port, however I have a lot of parallel projects
and didn't have time to even test if my new (actually used) board is
working, so you'll have to rely on your own for a while.

Best regards,
Mike Banon
