You are correct.  AMD sent me the following, "Please understand we provide the common AGESA to all the motherboard manufacturers and they will customize the BIOS files according to their hardware requirements and needs hence the CPU compatibility completely depends upon the motherboard hardware with their customized BIOS. "

I've already tried this and, unfortunately, it doesn't work.  If you go to the A320 BIOS page, AsRock has done a weird thing and created a bridge bios starting at 3.20.  I couldn't find details on what or why this exists & no other manufacturers have done something similar.  I could get 3.20 to flash and boot, but the system acted peculiar.  It double booted (some kind of internal troubleshooting on the first boot) and then, in Windows, not all the I/O features worked (for instance LAN and Wi-Fi)...pretty sure I even tried replacing these drivers with the A300 ones before flashing.  I could not flash any more recent bioses and have the mobo boot, it simply acted like a dead board, no standby power.  I've also tried a range of other manufacturer bioses/ agesa versions.
