Re: [coreboot] Status Update of F2A85M

[kinky_nekoboi]

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)

Status Update of F2A85M

[Mike Banon]

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

FYI you NEED microcode if this is a piledriver CPU to fix the NMI>root
exploit and it is recommended if it is a bulldozer due to the spectre fixes.

Do updates work via the os or no?

Status Update of F2A85M

[Mike Banon]

I think he already figured out how to correctly get a new AMD 15h
microcode - http://dangerousprototypes.com/docs/Lenovo_G505S_hacking#Unofficial_coreboot...
(the "official" way of microcode update doesn't work for 15h or 16h).
Also, linux-firmware.git / amd-ucode (which all the Linux distros are
using) does not provide 0x600111F microcode, only 0x6001119 . This is
a big problem
