Hi all, a new Beta BIOS Update has just quietly arrived on the official ASRock DeskMini X300 BIOS support page, has just quietly arrived on the official BIOS support page of the ASRock DeskMini X300, the Beta BIOS "L1.80C" which has the only description: "Update AGESA", so I thought it must be the update to AGESA ComboV2PI 1.2.0.8 but in fact I was not there at all, because according to the software "Ryzen SMU Checker v1.2.2.0", the versions of the SMU firmwares for the Renoir and Cézanne APUs are respectively the versions 55.93 and 64.71, and therefore more recent versions than those present on the AGESA ComboV2PI 1.2.0.8, so after some tedious research on the web I was finally able to determine the version of the AGESA firmware present in this Beta BIOS and it would be the very latest and very recent AGESA ComboV2PI "1.2.0.A".
So don't ask what's new and other updates in this version "1.2.0.A" compared to "1.2.0.8", I don't know and I couldn't find any post about it , I can only assume it's still bug fixes, maybe slight performance and stability improvements, I haven't even had time to test this Beta BIOS yet, I'm coming to you talk about it and put the download link just to share what I learned and saw with you. If you ever decide to test it, do not hesitate to share your feedback.

26/09/2024: Greetings everyone, I just got an update from ASRock support regarding the DeskMini X300 only, it seems they have just developed what will probably be the final (and possibly last) BIOS for it, version "1.82". It contains the latest version of AGESA for AM4, version "AGESA Combo V2 PI 1.2.0.Cc" which fixes the major security vulnerability "SMM Lock Bypass" that affects all Ryzen CPUs/APUs up to the "Zen3" architecture. They also sent me a variant "1.82.SL01" which is a test version adding S3 sleep support, like the previous version "1.80.RC02.SL01".
08/10/2024: Added new final/official BIOS "P1.90" for DeskMini X300
09/10/2024: Added new final/official BIOS "P1.90.SL01" (variant with S3 Sleep support) for DeskMini X300, thanks to ASRock Support
16/10/2024: Added new Test-BIOS "P1.90C" (thanks to obrida) a variant of final "P1.90" BIOS with ACS enabled by default, "it should enable IOMMU groups without the "pcie_acs_override=downstream" kernel param that wrecks security, and do whatever the equivalent of ARI enumeration does."
27/10/2024: Added new Beta-BIOS "P1.91", changes: Add Curved Optimizer Option for the Supported CPU.
