- <h1 id="pagetop">ASUS KFSN4-DRE server/workstation board</h1>
-
- <p>
- This is a server board using AMD hardware (Fam10h). It can also be used
- for building a high-powered workstation. Powered by libreboot.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- <b>
- NOTE: This board is unsupported in libreboot 20150518.
- To use it in libreboot, for now, you must build for it
- from source using the libreboot git repository.
- </b>

- Flashing instructions can be found at <a href="../install/index.html#flashrom">../install/index.html#flashrom</a>

- <h1 id="formfactor">Form factor</h1>
- <p>
- These boards use the SSI EEB 3.61 form factor; make sure
- that your case supports this. This form factor is similar
- to E-ATX in that the size is identical, but the position of
- the screws are different.
- </p>
- </div>
-
- <div class="section">
- <h1 id="flashchips">Flash chips</h1>
- <p>
- These boards use LPC flash (not SPI), in a PLCC socket. The default flash size
- 1MiB (8Mbits), and can be upgraded to 2MiB (16Mbits).
- SST49LF080A is the default that the board uses.
- SST49LF016C is an example of a 2MiB (16Mbits) chip, which might work.
- It is believed that 2MiB (16Mbits) is the maximum size available for the flash chip.
- </p>
- <p>
- <b>
- DO NOT hot-swap the chip with your bare hands. Use a PLCC
- chip extractor. These can be found online.
- See <a href="http://www.coreboot.org/Developer_Manual/Tools#Chip_removal_tools">http://www.coreboot.org/Developer_Manual/Tools#Chip_removal_tools</a>

- <h1 id="graphics">Native graphics initialization</h1>
- <p>
- Native graphics initialization exists (XGI Z9s) for this board.
- Framebuffer- and text-mode both work. A serial port is also
- available.
- </p>
- </div>

- <div class="section">
- <h1>Memory</h1>
- <p>
- DDR2 533/667 Registered ECC. 16 slots. Total capacity up to 64GiB.

- <div class="section">
- <h1 id="hexcore">Hex-core CPUs</h1>
- <p>
- PCB revision 1.05G is the best version of this board (the
- revision number will be printed on the board), because it
- can use dual hex-core CPUs (Opteron 2400/8400 series). Other
- revisions are believed to only support dual quad-core CPUs.

- <h1 id="issues">Current issues</h1>
- <ul>
- <li>
- There seems to be a 30 second bootblock delay (observed by tpearson);
- the system otherwise boots and works as expected.
- See <a href="text/kfsn4-dre/bootlog.txt">text/kfsn4-dre/bootlog.txt</a>
- - this uses the 'simple' bootblock, while tpearson uses the 'normal'
- bootblock, which tpearson suspects may be a possible cause.
- This person says that they will look into it.
- <a href="http://review.coreboot.org/gitweb?p=board-status.git;a=blob;f=asus/kfsn4-dre/4.0-10101-g039edeb/2015-06-27T03:59:16Z/config.txt;h=4742905c185a93fbda8eb14322dd82c70641aef0;hb=055f5df4e000a97453dfad6c91c2d06ea22b8545">This config</a> doesn't have the issue.
- </li>
- <li>
- Text-mode is a bit jittery (but still usable). (the jitter disappears
- if using KMS, once the kernel starts. The jitter will remain, if
- booting the kernel in text-mode).
