ASUS KGPE-D16 server/workstation board

- -

- This is a server board using AMD hardware (Fam10h and Fam15h CPUs available). It can also be used - for building a high-powered workstation. Powered by libreboot. The coreboot port was done by - Timothy Pearson of Raptor Engineering Inc. and, - working with Timothy (and sponsoring the work) merged into libreboot. -

- -

- - 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. - -

- -

- Flashing instructions can be found at ../install/index.html#flashrom - - note that external flashing is required (e.g. BBB), if the proprietary (ASUS) firmware is currently installed. - If you already have libreboot, by default it is possible to re-flash using software running in GNU/Linux - on the KGPE-D16, without using external hardware. -

Board status (compatibility)

-

- See https://raptorengineeringinc.com/coreboot/kgpe-d16-status.php. -

Form factor

-

- 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. -

IPMI iKVM module add-on

-

- Don't use it. It uses proprietary firmware and adds a backdoor (remote out-of-band management chip, - similar to the Intel Management Engine. Fortunately, - the firmware is unsigned (possibly to replace) and physically separate from the mainboard since it's - on the add-on module, which you don't have to install. -

Flash chips

-

- 2MiB flash chips are included by default, on these boards. It's on a P-DIP 8 slot (SPI chip). - The flash chip can be upgraded to higher sizes: 4MiB, 8MiB or 16MiB. With at least 8MiB, - you could feasibly fit a compressed linux+initramfs image (BusyBox+Linux system) into CBFS - and boot that, loading it into memory. -

-

- Libreboot has configs for 2, 4, 8 and 16 MiB flash chip sizes (default flash chip is 2MiB). -

-

- - DO NOT hot-swap the chip with your bare hands. Use a P-DIP 8 - chip extractor. These can be found online. - See http://www.coreboot.org/Developer_Manual/Tools#Chip_removal_tools - -

Native graphics initialization

-

- Only text-mode is known to work, but linux(kernel) can initialize - the framebuffer display (if it has KMS - kernel mode setting). -
