Hi all
The board is finally in. I'm aware that David bought it (i think he has f2a85-m CSM version which is USA specific), is there anyone else? PaulePanter maybe?
Has anyone tried "hot flashing" ? It seems linux crashes if I simply unplug the flash. I tried to work around and disabled SMI by software. But I want to be sure it happens also to other people.
The issue with SeaBIOS is gone. I will post some coded verb fix. Is there a way how to extract verbs for codec from original system? I did simple: cat /sys/class/sound/hwC1D0/init_pin_configs
Is it all?
The last, so far known issue is that SeaBIOS likes to boot only from first AHCI port. I need to check this.
Thanks Rudolf

I haven't hot flashed very many times but it didn't crash. Maybe I was just lucky?

I checked http://www.coreboot.org/ASUS_F2A85-M and it says test virtualization.
Maybe very low priority, but linux still complains "no compatible bridge window" - I suspect it's just some PCI-E config steps.
Anyway, I like where the current build is at. Kudos!

I don't have a f2a85-m, but an Asrock 350M1-USB, but PaulePanter told me maybe my own data could be helpful to you, so:

that was a misunderstanding in #coreboot. As the ASRock E350M1 uses the Realtek ALC892, which is probably different from the one of the ASUS F2A85-M, this will not be useful for the ASUS F2A85-M. But your dump from the vendor BIOS might be useful for the ASRock E350M1 coreboot port.

I do *not* have this board. A friend of mine has one. Though he is not capable to test anything.

That’s strange. What Linux kernel do you use? Do you get any error messages?
The issue with SeaBIOS is gone.
Awesome! Due to a newer SeaBIOS version or coreboot changes?

Nice. What errors do you get?

No idea. As you know already, according to Jens the Verb Table format is undocumented and Realtek does not give out any information [2].
What chip do you have? Realtek ALC887? At least that is what searching for »f2a85-m realtek alc« seems to suggest.
The last, so far known issue is that SeaBIOS likes to boot only from first AHCI port. I need to check this.

Yes, that would work. You don't have to initialize the codec fully just to get the initial pin configs. Pass probe_only=1 to snd-hda-intel driver so that it will skip the codec initializations but just probing the codecs. The sysfs file should be available even in this mode.
How can a correct verb table be verified?
It's difficult to say what's correct in general, because the pin setup is what's really depending on the hardware. Also, BIOS doesn't always give a correct pin config. There might be the pin config overridden by *.INI file on Windows.
Also, BIOS may set up more than pin configs. It may set also some COEF verbs.

Hi Rudolf, I just got a f2a85-m CSM to test with here at Sage, but we're still waiting for a CPU to drop in before we can do anything.
I suspect that the crash might be caused by the USB3 controller. It could also be the IMC, but I think this is less likely. Both of these run code directly from the ROM chip. If you unplug the chip while they're trying to fetch, it's not surprising that "Bad Things" happen. You could test for this by doing a build that removes these roms and after booting from that version, see if it still crashes when the chip is pulled.
The ahci issue with seabios sounds like an issue I fixed in AGESA a couple of months ago. http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/2165/

This is great! Having sage putting resources into the f2a85-m means a lot! (the CSM just indicates that Asus will keep the item stocked longer / support it longer.)

Hi Rudolf, I just got a f2a85-m CSM to test with here at Sage, but we're still waiting for a CPU to drop in before we can do anything.
Great! I tested with some cheapest dualcore CPU I could get.

Yes IMC seems not to be enabled in legacy BIOS. The USB3 is good idea. But some preliminary test showed that turning off SMI helps. I need to re-check again. My intention is to make it as friendly as possible for other people so they dont need any flashing device, only extra chips.
The ahci issue with seabios sounds like an issue I fixed in AGESA a couple of months ago. http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/2165/
Great, I need to check if the issue still exists. I only tried recently with two hard drive which it found OK. I was suspecting some kind of PHY problem.
Suspend and resume does not work for me because I'm using 32mbit AMIC chip. I have some patch which adds this to coreboot. But not tested yet.
I'm glad that number of users of this board has risen ;) My plan is to add support for voltage control stuff too.
