Theres no excuse for this piss-ant companies lack of support, i feel sorry for you guys, asrock have released 3 bios's this year already for the taichi https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/X370%20Taichi/index.asp#BIOS just as i though things couldnt get any better my corsair rgb ram is now 100% stable at 3600MHz and beyond with new agesa 4.4 bios, thus making video rendering as fast as a bugatti veyron.

The F22 firmware, quite astoundingly, is actually quite good in terms of squashed bugs and issues that have been ironed out. Lets not get carried away though theres still a fair few things that can be improved and bugs still exist in the vanilla firmware that have been there for a year now that I'm still having to use workarounds for in my modded firmwares. Gigabyte should not be being praised for functionally bringing their boards up to the level all other manufacturers managed a good SIX MONTHS ago. A large amount of these improvements also appear to be due to the new 1001a AGESA so work AMD have done, not Gigabyte. Theres also still many options that are hidden from the user that shouldn't be other manufacturers have had them exposed from day 1 the only reason I can think of why Gigabyte are not exposing the options is simply where they hate true enthusiasts and really can't be bothered with doing what they are paid to do and fix bugs. Thus it is upto people like me to expose options and fix as many bugs as possible.

Taking only the vanilla firmware in to account here I can (so far) confirm the following bugs and issues are fixed;

Mouse cursor is no longer set to some very low DPI setting in the UEFI it is now much more responsive and fluid.
Polling rate for voltages under the PC health status stuff has been significantly reduced so you can monitor voltages much more in realtime
Vcore stability is improved, still not great, but improved so there must have been some recalibration at least
Finally SOC LLC is fixed
At long last the Gaming 5 appears to be running my RipjawsV test kit at 3466MHz stable. Asus X370-F did this out of the box, but at least Gigabyte have caught up here.

I have numerous other issues and bugs to verify present or fixed but F22 is certainly a step in the right direction.

@persano yep working on it this is the AGESA I was waiting for it significantly improves memory compatibility and a slew of other fixes. This is the first AGESA I can confidently say makes the AM4 platform feel like something people should have got a year ago there were far too many bugs in the beginning and the platform just wasn't ready. I'd guess AMD would have liked to held back on release at least a further 6 months to develop the AGESA but their dwindling money and resources at the time simply didn't allow for that which is understandable.

F22M-D for the Gaming 5 is live, the rest will follow as quickly as I can make them.

All X370 firmwares based on F22 are now live, early versions released yesterday have also been updated fixing minor bugs and issues. B350 versions will follow in the next day or two.

ket,

I just tested you new F22M-D for the gaming K7 bios.
At first glance i face the following problems(they do not appear in the official f22 firmware):
-no boot after msdos flashing using the provided utility, code 50. I used the dual bios functionality and recovered using Q flash.
-p states do not work ok, changing to custom any p state besides the first one results in code 50 error
-any restart from windows (10) locks the board into code 0d, even reset button can not restart it, only power off can.
-gpt usb stick doesn't boot (it seems it reads but very slow )
cpu: Ryzen 5 1600, mem:Corsair RGB 2x8Gb 3Ghz cl 15

Thank you for the work!

Try switching DIMM banks for your memory a lot of those no boot situations sound like a compatibility issue or something in the system that is unstable particularly with POST code D0 and 50, with the former being a CPU initialisation issue and 50 being a memory initialisation issue. Theres no reason why P-States wouldn't work with the modded firmware I haven't made any changes to P-States. Did you do a full CMOS reset after flashing? (remove battery and power cord, press power button 3-4 times). While there shouldn't be anything wrong with flashing from pure DOS you might want to try using Q-Flash GB might have made some changes I'm unaware of that the DOS flash method isn't entirely happy about. I wouldn't rule out there being an issue with your USB stick either I've had a lot of sticks and SD cards suddenly start performing very poorly in the past - a sure sign the media is as good as fubard. So I'd say its worth using a different USB stick as well to rule that possibility out.

In the meantime I'll check the firmware image but I'm 99% certain it'll check out ok but always worth checking.

EDIT: No problems I can see or find with the firmware image. Are you using any kind of TPM?

ket,
I am using no tpm. Usb stick had no problem booting with original bios after trying the modded one. I put your bios on backup and i am switching between them to test.
In fact I am using the firmware posted by gigabyte on the site before, the f22b. It seems they changed it and i will have to retest with that too, maybe the new problems are from there.
I will also do the full cmos reset and retry with the new version, i used the first one you posted yesterday morning..
Later edit:
It seems the restart is a bug in the new firmware F22

Hi all has anyone had any problems with booting from pcie sata card after latest bios flash I can't see the drives connected to sata card in the bios but i can see them in Windows so currently cannot boot my Linux partition I would like to know if maybe there is a bios option in the new bios that I have to turn on I would like to add that I reflashed my bios to previous version and I can see the drives

ket,
I repeated the flashing proces this time reseting the settings taking out the battery si shorting the pins.
Dos flashing gave the same code 50 error.Q-flash worked but the 0d code after restart command from windows remains. I also tested the f22 bios and for me is not giving the od error, i can not confirm the bug at this time.
xrelic,
i only have pciexpress nvme, and no, i had no problems with bios f22 in this regard.

Thats very odd theres no solid reason I can find at the moment to explain your problem, a couple rough very outside chance ideas but nothing more. As best as I know the 0d POST code is mostly triggered by a bad memory stick or memory incompatibility, can you try each stick one at a time in each DIMM slot?

@cpx I think I'm getting closer to sniffing out the problem, stay tuned. In the meantime ALL MODIFIED FIRMWARE I HAVE REMOVED!

EDIT: Problem found. The issue is in the High Precision Event Timer. In the modified firmware it's under Chipset > Chipset Options > Chipset Configuration > Chipset settings. Enabling this will fix the 0d POST code error on restarts. I disabled HPET in the modified firmware as part of a set of performance tweaks it should not be causing a 0d POST code error. You should find if you disable HPET even in the vanilla F22 firmware (found under the "Power" settings) it will do exactly the same thing and cause the system to not POST on restarts. If you can verify that for me I'll know how to rejig the modded firmware.

ket,
yes i can confirm, disabling HPET generated the 0d error but only in F22 and not in F22b.
also p-states do not work ok in F22 ( i can overclock only 200 mhz and after that code 85).

@cpx ok I'll see what I can do about those problems. I think I've seen a HPET module in the firmware so outright swapping the modules will probably fix the HPET problem. P-States I believe are all part of the CBS module so again swapping them for ones in F22b should fix the problem. I'll have to have a look at the modules to verify my memory but assuming I'm remembering correctly both fixes should be straightforward.
