- HDMI digital audio
- Windows 10 with libgfxinit high resolution framebuffer and VBT
- UEFI boot into Fedora 38 through 41 with edk2 payload (202306 mrchromebox fork)
- PS/2 keyboard (IBM Model M #1391401 & original Microsoft Natural) with edk2 payload
## Known issues
- If you use MRC raminit, the NVRAM variable gfx_uma_size may be ignored as IGP's UMA could
be reconfigured by the blob.
- Sometimes only half the memory is initialized, and/or at reduced speed. This is being
investigated.
- If SeaBIOS is used for payload with libgfxinit, it must be brought in via coreboot's config.
Otherwise integrated graphics would fail with a black screen.
- PCI POST card is not functional because the PCI bridge early init is not yet done.
- The black PCIEX16_2 slot, although can physically fit an x16, only has physical contacts for
an x8, and is electrically an x4 only.
- Although the black PCIEX16_2 slot can physically fit an x16 card, it only has physical
contacts for x8, and is electrically x4 only.
- PS/2 keyboard may not work with SeaBIOS payload.
- These lm_sensors configurations are needed for hardware monitor values to make sense:
```bash
label in1 "+12V"
label in4 "+5V"
compute in1 @*12, @/12
compute in4 @*5, @/5
# ...
set temp1_type 4
set temp2_type 4
```
## Untested
- Wake-on-LAN
- USB3 on header
- TPM header
- TPM module
- EHCI debugging (Debug port is on the 5-pin side of USB2_910 header)
- HDMI and S/PDIF audio out
- S/PDIF audio out
## Not working
- PS/2 keyboard or mouse
- PS/2 mouse (a patch has been submitted for review)
- 4 and 6 channel analog audio out: Rear left and right audio is a muted
copy of front left and right audio, and the other two channels are silent.
## Native (and MRC) raminit compatibility
## RAM compatibility
### Native and MRC raminit:
- OCZ OCZ3G1600LVAM 2x2GB kit works at DDR3-1066 instead of DDR3-1600.
- GSkill F3-1600C9D-16GRSL 2x8GB SODIMM kit on adapter boots, but is highly unstable
with obvious pattern of bit errors during memtest86+ runs.
- Samsung PC3-10600U 2x2GB kit works at full rated speed.
- GSkill F3-1600C9D-16GRSL 2x8GB SODIMM kit on unbranded adapter works at full rated speed.
### MRC raminit:
- Corsair ValueSelect CMSO4GX3M1C1600C11 4GB SODIMM works at full rated speed
on an unbranded adapter.
- Samsung M471B5273DH0 4GB SODIMM on adapter works at full rated speed.
### Native raminit:
- Kingston KTH9600B-4G 2x4GB kit works at full rated speed.
- Samsung M471B5273DH0 4GB SODIMM on adapter works only at DDR3-1066 if max_mem_clock_mhz
is reduced to 666, and only one module would be detected. It will completely fail to
train if max_mem_clock_mhz is set to 800.
- Corsair modules on channel 1 fails training and is unusable.
- Two Patriot PV316G160C9K 2x8GB kits in all slots work at full rated speed.
## Extra onboard buttons
The board has two onboard buttons, and each has a related LED nearby.
What controls the LEDs and what the buttons control are unknown,
therefore they currently do nothing under coreboot.
The board has two onboard buttons, each with a related LED nearby.
- BIOS_FLBK
- `BIOS_FLBK` / `FLBK_LED`:
OEM firmware uses this button to facilitate a simple update mechanism
via a USB drive plugged into the bottom USB port of the USB/LAN stack.
They are connected to a proprietary AI1314 microcontroller.
They currently do nothing under coreboot.
- MemOK!
- `MemOK!` / `DRAM_LED`:
OEM firmware uses this button for memory tuning related to overclocking.
They are connected to the NCT6779D super I/O chip.
Button is connected to pin 74, and currently do nothing under coreboot.
DRAM_LED is connected to GP07 pin. Active low. Since commit f7ed007298e0
coreboot lights it up during early boot similar to vendor firmware.
