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_updates
(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
