I can't say about those AM3 boards but my coreboot'ed AMD Lenovo G505S is working fine with 16GB DDR3 installed. Maybe you could check if they have a similar CPU architecture (G505S A10-5750M is Richland) and also check the similarity of their FCH aka "southbridges" (G505S has Bolton M3), while waiting for a more helpful answer from someone more knowledgeable (+ could check if their board_status reports contain a kernel log where you could check the size of installed RAM) чт, 3 янв. 2019 г. в 21:30, <info@aulix.com>:

It is on a more modern 2013 platform, mine is an AM3 Socket of 2010-2011 years with a corresponding old chipset: * North Bridge: AMD 785G * South Bridge: AMD SB710 More details about my motherboard can be found at: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-MA785GMT-UD2H-rev-10#sp Though it is listed as supported on Coreboot supported hardware list, I am not sure how well DDR3 RAM is supported by Coreboot on this board. Does it work with a maximum amount of RAM which the board can handle under its default BIOS firmware or only a few gigs work like 1-2GB? _____ From: Ivan Ivanov [mailto:qmastery16@gmail.com] To: info@aulix.com Cc: Coreboot [mailto:coreboot@coreboot.org] Sent: Fri, 04 Jan 2019 01:51:58 +0600 Subject: [coreboot] Re: Please suggest a AM3/AM3+ motherboard which is supported by Coreboot when32GB of RAM installed I can't say about those AM3 boards but my coreboot'ed AMD Lenovo G505S is working fine with 16GB DDR3 installed.
