They make their own drivers and software in house- it's what I've always used. It should be available on their downloads page.

That sounds very interesting for the A300. I also have a 2400G installed in mine and have not yet decided what to upgrade with.
Have you done a stress test of the 5700G in the A300 to make sure that the processor really runs without problems and there are no bluescreens under load ?

I applied liquid metal and ran CPU-Z's internal stress test to see how low temperatures are. I've been getting consistent 4.4-4.6 Ghz on all cores under load, with temperatures in the 70s. It looks like GPU performance has been knocked down due to the inability to overclock RAM, since the default is 2400Mhz with loose timings. My Vega 11 on my 2400G with 3400Mhz RAM seems to get higher scores on 3d Mark.
Maybe the problem with the ram clock is not a problem with the X300 bios, but that the A300 does not provide enough power. I think that was discussed here in the forum with the 4700G processor, that the ram clock could not go over 2600Mhz, because the A300 provides too little power.
I don't think its that, because I cant even change timings at 2400MHz ram. Its almost as if it's ignoring all bios settings.
We will see..Unsatisfying answer:
Hello,
also for Renoir I have to say sorry. I do not have closer information yet if it will be supported with future BIOS.
So far, only these CPU’s are supported and tested:

@Danlopez1222 about the idea of CPU-microcode/-support transplantation:
I think we are a step further to be able to achieve that. There is a product announced: "DeskMini Max" which is 5000-Series based
mainboard with PCIe 16x slot. Therefore, we could probably grab it's BIOS/UEFI and do some surgery on it combined with A300 UEFI
DeskMini Max is using *no* dedicated chipset. Still running on knoll-based-config.
It seems from the video (they're opening up the case, so you can see the mainboard) they've updated the power-stages on the mainboard being
4+1+1 (I guess '4' to be able to satisfy 105Watt against 65W using '3' VRMs)
ASRock DeskMini Max is a bigger small PC with support for Ryzen 5000 and discrete graphics - Liliputing

This platform seems to be indeed the A300 v2.0 because of the PSU, but also TDP being up to 105 Watt it seems they've updated the VRMs and
power-rails for the CPU/SoC/APU - there is residing my hope of "true" o/c being actually feasible. There is only one M.2 slot for NVMe's though and 2x S-ATA.
And being 10L in volume, it remains a question weather a standard mITX/ITX-platform would be actually the "way-to-go"-platform, since 10L is not small factor
anymore - when comparing against 1.92L from the A300. I think the price will be the point, on which a customer can decide.
PSU + Case + Mainboard (B550-based) => ~300€
Deskmini Max therefore should be <300€
And again, you can re-buy the RAM -.-, since Max is using U-DIMMs. Not pleased by this fact.
It took a while, but this product finally came out as the "Deskmeet" and indeed has no chipset, but does not limit the bios to apu processors. In case anyone would pursue this idea again.

Unfortunately the deskmeet doesn't solve my old problem. I needed a smaller than itx board specifically mstx like the deskminis, the deskmeet is bigger its deep itx.It took a while, but this product finally came out as the "Deskmeet" and indeed has no chipset, but does not limit the bios to apu processors.

Fortunately, I no longer have my problem as my pc setup goals have changed and I've already started working on it.
