I've had massive problems with the latest firmware on a APU4, after googling a had to go back to 4.0.23, as i always lost connections, e.g. ssh - this ist not the case with 4.0.23.

Anybody else with this?

Hi ruggerio,

Please submit an issue here: https://github.com/pcengines/coreboot/issues

Also provide some more detailed description:

- detailed problem description (e.g. frequent SSH connection breaks), possibly with OS logs showing the problem
- firmware version before and after upgrade
- used platform (apu4a/b/c etc.)
- OS version
- any changes made to BIOS setup menu

Note that we are mostly validating firmware level features and simple OS installation. We cannot possibly validate production cases/setups. This is where the community comes with help and should report any problems.

Hi ruggerio,

is this the same board as your current 19.7 Development Series questions here in the forum?

may anyone confirm:

for the apu1c4 = 3 LAN, 4 GB DRAM, T40E CPU the version  on https://pcengines.github.io/ for apu1 should work.
But there's no legacy release, only the mainline release?

There never was an apu1 legacy in the first place. "The legacy" refers to the very first working BIOS code for apu2 developed for PC Engines. It was very stripped coreboot repository containing only apu2 mainboard and other important source code necessary to build firmware.

https://github.com/pcengines/coreboot/tree/coreboot-4.0.x/src/mainboard/pcengines

Unlike mainline source which is a fork of official coreboot and all mainboards are there, legacy only serves a purpose for building apu2 firmware with an older codebase.

FYI: PC Engines apu coreboot Open Source Firmware v4.10.0.0

Key changes - Mainline
  • Rebased with official coreboot repository commit 2a20d13.
  • Added ACPI support for GPIOs. Detailes are available in apu2-documentation. So far access to GPIOs was possible only via dedicated driver. Now, there is support via Linux kernel sysfs including:
-LEDs
-S1 switch button with interrupts
-SIMSWAP
  • Validated problem with ESXi v6.7 U2 installation. We have located the source of the issue and now we are working to resolve it.
  • Added documentation about APU Core Performance Boost.
  • Updated WLE200NX documentation with issue workarounds.
  • Updated the pcengines.github.io site with new section containing useful documentation from apu2-documentation repository. Also the link to the repository is now accessible in the top panel. Below the binaries section for each release we have added a note with link how to verify signatures of the binaries.
