Interested in Nix, *BSD, electronics, open hardware, woodworking, metalworking, minidiscs, and digging around in dumpsters.

Primarily I am working on [[Coreboot-15h]] and am focused on KCMA-D8, KGPE-D16, and AM3+ at the moment, specifically the ASRock 990FX Extreme3 board.

IT Mode

2025-12-16T05:40:11Z

Rane: Add PIKE2008 instructions

Flashing a SAS controller to [[IT Mode]] configures the SAS controller to provide the operating system with direct access to each of the attached drives; instead of a single RAID device managed by proprietary software. Using [[IT Mode]] provides greater flexibility, manageability, and portability. Tools are provided to build a FreeDOS USB image that comes bundled with the necessary software and helpful scripts to switch your SAS controller over to "IT Mode".

== Preparing the FreeDOS Image ==
'''Debian Dependencies'''
<nowiki>
apt install curl p7zip mtools</nowiki>
'''Prepare the image'''
<nowiki>
git clone https://git.15h.org/rane/itmode.git
cd itmode
make</nowiki>
'''Write the image'''

Write the prepared FreeDOS image (ITMODE.img) to a flash drive using your preferred method.

For example, with dd (replace paths to match your system):
<nowiki>
dd if=./ITMODE.img of=/dev/sdz bs=4M status=progress</nowiki>

== Flashing to IT Mode ==
=== PIKE 1068 ===
=== PIKE 2008 ===
'''Step 1, Record SAS Address'''

There will be a sticker on your motherboard that lists your SAS address (ie: 500605B0xxxxxxxx).
If you don't have the sticker, the below script will print the SAS address for you prior to wipe.
Make sure you write this value down.

'''Step 2, Wipe'''
<nowiki>
cd ITMODE
wipe_pike2008
reboot</nowiki>

'''Step 3, Flash'''

Enter your SAS address when requested.

<nowiki>
cd ITMODE
flash_pike2008</nowiki>

=== Supermicro H8DCL-6 / H8DG6 / H8QG6 ===
'''Step 1, Record SAS Address'''

There will be a sticker on your motherboard that lists your SAS address (ie: 500605B0xxxxxxxx). Write this value down.

'''Step 2, Wipe'''
<nowiki>
cd ITMODE
wipe_supermicro
reboot</nowiki>

'''Step 3, Flash'''

Enter your SAS address when requested.

<nowiki>
cd ITMODE
flash_supermicro</nowiki>

Support for the KCMA-D8 motherboard by [[coreboot-15h]], 15h.org's downstream coreboot variant for fam15h systems, was recently completed.

== Open Source Firmware ==
Open source firmware for the KCMA-D8 is provided by [[coreboot-15h]] utilizing AMD's open source AGESA and CIMx releases for platform initialization. The git repository for the firmware can be reviewed [https://git.15h.org/mrothfuss/coreboot-15h here].

=== KCMA-D8 ===
{{Excerpt|Coreboot-15h|[[KCMA-D8|ASUS KCMA-D8]]|hat=no}}

=== Missing Features ===
* Opteron 4100 series CPUs are unsupported.
* TPM support is untested.
* ASUS MIO audio cards are untested.

=== Flashing ===
To switch from the stock firmware to coreboot, [[External Flashing | external flashing]] is required. The DIP-8 flash chip is located at the bottom right corner of the board (labeled BIOS in the motherboard diagram). A 3.3V CH341a programmer can be used to flash coreboot onto the KCMA-D8. When switching to coreboot-15h, clearing the CMOS is required.

'''Clearing the CMOS'''
# Turn off the computer and disconnect the power cord
# Move the CLRTC1 jumper (located under PCI Slot 4) to positions 2-3
# Wait 20 seconds
# Restore the CLRTC1 jumper to positions 1-2
# Connect the power cord and turn on the computer

[[File:KCMA-D8 Motherboard DDR3 Voltage.png|frameless|600x600px]]

The KCMA-D8 provides an external method to override the BIOS DDR3 voltage. BIOS control is configured to select a voltage that maximizes performance for all DIMM modules attached to a socket. Forcing a different voltage may cause stability problems. Use the default jumper setting (1.5V / BIOS control) when using coreboot-15h.

=== PIKE Slots ===
The two PIKE slots, PIKE1 and PIKE2, are used together to attach an ASUS PIKE module to the KGPE-D16. This is required to utilize the 8 onboard SAS ports. These SAS ports support SAS2 and SATA3, making them faster than the onboard SATA2 ports provided by the SP5100. Drives attached to these ports are accessible to the operating system when the PIKE card is configured for IT mode, but SeaBIOS will not boot from them. The [[PIKE2008]] card, flashed to IT mode, is recommended to utilize these features.

=== DIP-8 Socket ===
The DIP-8 Socket houses the mainboard's BIOS ROM. The following DIP-8 chips are known to work with coreboot on the KCMA-D8.

[[File:KGPE-D16 Northbridge Cooling Fan.jpeg|frameless|300px]]

This file is designed to work with a Noctua NF-A4x10 fan. If your motherboard is not in a high-airflow server case, the northbridge fan is highly recommended. The fan bracket mounts onto the northbridge heatsink by snapping onto the metal arms that secure the heatsink. The file may need to be edited to accommodate the exact placement of your 40mm fan cable (the provided design has a cable hole at the bottom right position).

This file is designed to work with a Noctua NF-A8 fan. When two of these fan mounts are attached to a Noctua NF-A8 fan, they will be spaced correctly to snap onto the KCMA-D8 RAM clips (white). These clips vary between boards. The included file is designed to work with L-shaped RAM clips. It will not fit as nicely onto the parallelogram-shaped RAM clips.

Rane:

The [[ASPEED AST2050|AST2050]] chipset is an Integrated Remote Management Processor introduced by ASPEED
Technology Inc. It is a high performance and highly integrated SOC device designed to support various
management functions required for server platforms which require baseboard management, virtual
storage functions, and/or KVM-over-IP functions.

Open source support for the [[ASPEED AST2050|AST2050]]'s VGA output (text-mode only) was implemented in coreboot by Raptor Engineering<ref>https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/11937</ref>. Full VGA output support requires ASPEED's closed source VGABIOS to be included in the coreboot rom. A rudimentary port of OpenBMC was also developed by Raptor Engineering<ref>https://www.raptorengineering.com/coreboot/kgpe-d16-bmc-port-status.php</ref>.
