ASRock E350M1: Only costs 66,10 € in Germany

[Paul Menzel]

Dear coreboot folks,

just a notice, that the ASRock E350M1 had a price drop in September and
currently costs only 66,10 € [1] in Germany.

So if you want to get a Christmas present, that might be it. You just
need RAM as the CPU is included.

Thanks to AMD, Scott and http://www.se-eng.com/, coreboot works with
the board pretty good [2]. The only problems seem to be resume from
suspend not working and the Ethernet device sometimes not enabling
during start.

Thanks,

Paul

Paul,

You may need some of the fixes that have gone into Persimmon. We have
not been maintaining the E350 mainboard.

Regards,
Marc

hmmm, the external PCIe slot seem untested, virtualization seem also
untested.
I also wonder how much RAM it accepts, and if it works in 64bit...

Is the CPU fast(for compilation like compiling android)?
How to get connectivity if the Ethernet doesn't work? (is there a way
to get Wifi?, or maybe trough an USB Ethernet adapter?).

Denis.
