All 7.x versions were extracted from HP files, so mobile most likely. The version 6.1.4-0059 was extracted from desktop. But I don't see this as important as it seems, for two reasons:
- they share the same ID/GUID
- I have also extracted 6.x from HP, no difference whatsoever from desktop 6.x version.

Do you think it will be too much trouble to offer 6.x and 7.x as a choice and let the user decide what fits his/her needs better? If someone asks what are the advantages of a specific branch, tell them they know just as much as we do. Here is one visible difference between 6.x and 7.x:



My guess is that they are using 6.x for older devices and 7.x is the future branch. But I haven't researched on the matter of AMD RAID and can't say which chipset should be supported the most.

Edit:
Your assumption of 7.x being beta/alpha could also be true. Check out the attached files with a comparison tool. Version 6.x has more IDs, port multiplier, LSI controller for 983X IDs. Version 7.x has fewer IDs (dropped LSI re-branded controller), but has support for HIPM and DIPM. This feels more like a chipset separation, so offering both 6.x and 7.x seems like a reasonable choice.

Edit2:
If you go to this AMD page and select Specs tab, you will see that RAID support for FM2+ is offered by Dot Hill. They have this page about AMD partnership, where they mention RAIDCore, which is also the name given to some of 7.x ffs files. Either 7.x is a beta branch which will soon replace 6.x, or 7.x is preparing support for a new platform. Either way, I see no reason why not to offer a choice between 6.x and 7.x, besides the invested work, of course.

Yes, I have already noticed a difference.
Chances are you're right. Have to choose updates between versions 6.x or 7.x.
Many users this is typed into confusion. :(

Edit:
Now I looked at all the files BIOS for FM2+, version 6.1 is used everywhere.
I have another suggestion that version 7.x is a lightweight version for mobile devices, and version 6.1 for the desktop.

Updating CPU Microcode for Broadwell went forever.

If you can get someone with RAID on FM2+ chipset to test 6.x versus 7.x and provide some results, it will be a lot easier to choose. But here is the catch with link1, link2, link3 : they are desktop versions and have 7.x RAID. Concluding that 7.x is NOT for mobiles, as we previously thought. HP is known to offer updated modules in its files, as I have found many updates from them. Maybe Asrock will save the day and start to provide 7.x to its line of FM2+ boards, so we can know for sure.

I agree with you, very little information to draw any conclusions.
The next version of UBU realizing choose between 6 and 7 versions.

Hmmm... i made a mistake. Sorry. Now the question is: the board supports haswell and broadwell. I can upgrade via UBU haswell or broadwell microcode, but not both?

Try on my laptop with the latest bios. Strange, it doesn't update.

I attach my bios .rom file.

Support for mobile devices (laptop, notebook, tablet pc, etc) is not provided.

Nevertheless you can update some Option ROM modules (except the Intel VGA ROM), but you have it to do manually.

While parsing through the gift we received today, I remembered that I had a similar one, still not fully unpacked/unwrapped. Waiting there for months was ASMedia AHCI 0.97 module. And while reading a few notes from the new gift, it appears that 3.02 was released to solve a problem with ROM space issues and Intel RAID (!!) not responding to Ctrl+I because of this. It also says that drives needs to be enumerated in a different way because of this, which might explain the problems with ASMedia 3.xx and old boards. I don't know what 3.70 and 3.80 changed and I'm still not sure if this is the true explanation for 3.xx problems with some boards.

Edit: And another thing. The file were you found Intel Gigabit UNDI 0.0.07 also has a 6.x one, marked for I211. Either the new one is not yet fully functional on I210/I211, or Intel plans to remove them from support.
