@kyriacos:
Your question makes me somehow angry, because it verifies, that you had no problem to find the download link to the latest UBU tool, but didn't take the time to read the UBU Guide, which is within the same post, where you found the download link.

Where do I get the needed files from?

You can get the desired Intel RAID OROM resp. EFI RaidDriver module from >here< resp. >here< and have to put them into the Files\intel\RST subfolder, but don't forget to rename the modules according to the _Readme.txt file, which is within the related subfolder.

@Fernando
I don't read the guide every time UBU is updated, I just read the changes. Previously (at least until version 1.69) these files were included in UBU. I don't remember reading about this change and the reasons that these files were removed.

@kyriacos:
Nobody demands, that you re-read the UBU guide after each release of a new UBU version, but I expect, that you do a look into the current UBU guide, before you report about a suspected UBU bug resp. ask a question, which has explicitely been answered within the guide.

@Fernando

Thanks for your tests >here<
I think I can now give some comments.

So. Unfortunately, for the time being, we will not be able to get rid of MMTool completely.
MMTool is required in 2 cases:
1) Replacing OROM files in BIOS on Aptio 4.
2) Replacing microcodes, if they are in PEI-volumes on Aptio 4 and V.

There was also a third reason - it is the extraction of files from the OROM/EFI containers (Aptio V GUID A032....), but it seems I was able to solve it.
In the near future I will try to lay out the second test build.

The assembly will be available for some time, as it is necessary to finalize some more points.

I upload a partial support for Intel VROC. Need BIOS files for full support VROC.

@tistou:
SoniX obviously meant BIOSes of systems/mainboards, which do support the "Intel� Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel� VROC)" feature.

Probably yes, because it has an Intel X299 chipset and should support VROC.
Do you use or want to use the VROC feature?

@tistou77:
Please attach the latest BIOS for your X299 chipset mainboard.

@SoniX:
Meanwhile I have tested the v1.7.1_dev-test2 version with the BIOS v7.50 for my ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Prof. Gaming i7.
Here is a short summary of my results:

The UBU tool v1.71 DEV-Test2 without MMTool was able to successfully update
a) both Intel RAID modules (EFI "RaidDriver" and the "RaidOrom")
b) all Intel Networking modules (EFI and Option ROM), which were within the related BIOS, and
c) the Intel GopDriver.
Without the presence of an AMI Aptio MMTool the option 4 ("Other SATA Controllers") had no function.
The option 5 ("CPU Microcode") was available without MMTool and showed the currently present and the available CPU Microcodes, but was not able to update them.
Contrary to the Test1 version the Test2 one showed the detected Option ROM modules within the main menu without any problem.

After the addition of the AMI MMTool v5.0.0.7 (renamed to "MMTool_a4.exe") the update of the "CPU Microcode" worked flawlessly.

Here are the related pictures (left: Main menu before the BIOS update, middle: Main menu after the BIOS update, right: CPU Microcode update success):

Conclusion: Well done, SoniX! This is again a big step forward for the usage of the UBU tool.

@Fernando

Thank you so much! :))

Zitat von Fernando im Beitrag #4903

The option 5 ("CPU Microcode") was available without MMTool and showed the currently present and the available CPU Microcodes, but was not able to update them.

OOPS! Sorry. Found a mistake and fixed it.
Implemented the following method:
If MMTool not present, but the count of containers with microcodes is 1, then UEFIReplace is used.
For other cases, MMTool is required.

Added:
Upload Test_3
