Thanks a lot for sharing, my friend! It's good and important to pool our resources and knowledge as DeskMini users. I'll add it to the sharing folder tonight when I have a little more time, and I'll credit you for sharing this test BIOS and clarify what you told me about compatibility only with "Cézanne" APUs (this is also specified in the file name of the archive you shared) so that some people avoid unnecessarily bricking their DeskMini X300@HydrAxx747 I received at 1.90 with ACS enabled by default from ASRock.

, again a big thank you for your contribution, it will not be forgotten. This is the way!That BIOS comes with the usual APU support for 2000G, 3000G, 4000G & 5000G series:@HydrAxx747 I received at 1.90 with ACS enabled by default from ASRock.

Maybe then it's the option that only works correctly on Cezanne APUs in this case? Because I admit the precision in the file name of the archive containing the BIOS is not really clear and leaves all this subject to interpretation, so it would be necessary to test this with different generations of APUs... Because if the BIOS department of ASRock added this precision, it is because there is necessarily a reason for that, otherwise I would not see the point of having specified itThat BIOS comes with the usual APU support for 2000G, 3000G, 4000G & 5000G:

I apologise, to be super clear that the file name was modified by me based on the email. They said that some Ryzen versions don't support ACS, and I stressed that I had a Cezanne before they sent it.
It's possible it will work on older chips, but I didn't want to be responsible for breaking anyone's computer, so I added the post-fix for safety.
Sorry for not making it clearer, that's on me.

Thanks @obrida! I just tried the BIOS with my 5700G and it gives me the following groups:@HydrAxx747 I received at 1.90 with ACS enabled by default from ASRock.

This is actually one extra group than the ACS kernel patch (`Multimedia controller`).
I tested it on a 3200G and it also not only booted, but separated the devices into distinct IOMMU groups. So it's safe for (some)other chips!
Inside the CTRL-Q menu in advanced, there's 4x4 bifurcation, "thunderbolt enable" and a raft of other stuff I don't understand.
This maybe the last and best BIOS ASRock have gifted us! Thanks ASRock Engineering!

Thanks for the info, so compatibility of the ACS function with Picasso APUs also confirmed if I understand correctly... Well, more than checking the Renoir APUs (well almost confirmed given the previous post by "headkaze"), Raven Ridge (Ryzen 2xxxG/GE) and Dali (some batches of Athlon PRO 300GE/320GE and Athlon 3000G, the others being mostly castrated "Raven Ridge"), but the problem is that I don't have any of these models in stock at homeI tested it on a 3200G and it also not only booted, but separated the devices into distinct IOMMU groups.

, I got rid of my only Athlon 3000G ("Dali" Die) which I used to update the BIOS of old AM4 motherboards with A320, B350/450 or X370/470 chipsets which were incompatible with the "new" CPUs/APUs in Zen2/Zen3 architecture when I had to prepare configs from second-hand market hardware, but that period is over... well at least with the cards that still had those old chipsets.Happy to check for you if you tell me where to look, although given the S3 BIOSs were also custom, I'm guessing not
Hello ,
I use the deskmini x300 and I noticed that with the new UEFi 1.90 with and without S3, securboot no longer works for me. It stays permanently in setup mode and no longer switches to user mode. Does anyone know anything about it or is it just an error with me ?

Hello! I have a A300 with a 5700G. The original bios was the 3.60, i have done an upgrade to the 3.60S and then to the 1.9 from the X300. Now the system works flawlessly but i can't save the bios setting otherwise the system will lock up at boot. It's like a soft-lock and the only way to restore the system is to do a clear cmos. It's a common problem? There are any solutions?
Thx
Thx
@Dr. Nick 1.90C BIOS Options:
...and ones I'm interested in but don't understand:
- Does the thunderbolt mean it can do TB3 PCI tunneling over the USB-C ports?
- Does the lanes selection mean I could bifurcate the M.2 slots to hold 2 each with a PCI riser?
Code:
# Advanced\ACPI Configuration
Suspend to RAM: [Auto,Disabled]
Deep Sleep: [Disabled,Enabled]
RTC Alarm Power On; [By OS,Disabled,Enabled]
Code:
# Advanced\AMD PBS
Thunderbolt Support: [Disabled, Enabled]

You have to use UMAF to change BIOS settings (be sure to leave the menus 'til it asks to save the settings, and confirm with Y!).
Can you use DRAM frequency above 2666 MHz? IIRC that was a problem with the 8-core APUs on the A300?
Quite many "final" bios versions in the last 30 days.
Is there any known differences between the 1.82, 1.82SL01, 1.90 and 1.90SL01 (except S3 support)?
Or does ASRock just really dislike S3 for some reason?

Yeah, i already tied the tool but i can't change the integrated graphics card memory size, i have already used UMAF to set 1GB but the system still sees 2GB. My system has only 8GB of RAM and 2GB is a bit to much for the system.
To answer your question yes i can use the XMP Profile of my RAM as the screen below (3200mhz):
Yes, Frame Buffer Size is one of the settings that appear twice in different menus in UMAF, for it to work after changing you must go to Device Manager -> AMD CBS -> NBIO Common Options -> GFX Configuration and change iGPU Configuration to UMA_SPECIFIED, and UMA Frame buffer Size to e.g. 512M(B), then leave the menu 'til it asks you to save settings and confirm with Y.Yeah, i already tied the tool but i can't change the integrated graphics card memory size, i have already used UMAF to set 1GB but the system still sees 2GB.
