have you corrected it and re-uploaded?

The Marvell firmware 1.0.0.1033 for controller 9120-a0 does not work for my motherboard ASRock Extreme4 - cursor blink problem

Strange, but it doesn't matter. I am tired of this situation.
Thanks for your effort to help me for a solution to this problem.

UBU Tool works without any problem until now.
Can you add an update of agesa driver in the future?

@lordkag
Hello!
What I'm confused. Here in this BIOS CrosshairV-Formula-ASUS-1703.zip, it turns out that both MISC (FC and FD) for 4392??

What do you mean ? Can you please explain in more detail?
I think the 4392 is not used but im not sure.

There is also another problem with the Agesa.
In my BIOS there is a Info Screen which ram slots are populated etc.
With 1.5.0.2 that isnt working anymore.

---

Sorry, I do not quite understand you, what you have problems with AGESA?

In my BIOS there is a Info Screen.
Where i can see which ram slots are used.
What Ram Size, Speed etc.

For Example:
Slot 1: 8GB 1600 mhz etc

With Agesa 1.5.0.2. It doesnt work.
for example:
Slot 1: Unknown


In my Bios there is also a module called raidloader maybe that needs to be replaced also?
And are you sure that the HiiDatabase module also needs to be replaced?

Because i cant get the efi raid driver to work. I get just a black screen :-/

I have the latest bios for my motherboard with Marvell firmware 1.0.0.1027 (manually update to 1.0.0.1029)

Controller 4392 is not used, only 4393 with newer amd uefi motherboars 990fx 970

If you can, update the agesa driver to version 1.5.0.5 - use it at your own risk

Otherwise use the default agesa driver of your motherbord bios

Thanks for posting mate.

System boots up fine with 1.5.0.5 and seems to work as indeed,
But info screen still bugged but it doesnt bother me.

Here is a screenshot:




And for the efi raid driver black screen problem.
Maybe the problem is that my motherboard is a hybrid efi ?

UBU v1.8.0 RC 4
Added MISC 4292 as FD
Added MISC 4293 as FC

Make update and check the SATA controller in Legacy mode.

Thanks for update.

Legacy worked before but without cache.
But i guess the problem here is i installed win 8 in efi mode.
So in legacy mode cache isnt working. even with stock bios. (but works under win 7 in non efi mode)
I guess the legacy modules are fine.

For efi black screen problem.

i tested with the modules from MSI 990FXA-GD80 and they are working.
Problem is there are only version 1.0.0.20 but they work. (my stock bios is 1.0.0.17)
Cache also works.

@SoniX

In the file attached you will see why AGESA is impossible to be replaced. They are not just different, they are almost unrelated. Even if you will check for the same board with different BIOS version, you will see at least 4 different bytes that are checksum/signature related, meaning that this module is a result of internal building. And that's not the end of it, as AGESA code is found in other modules as well. Even similar boards from the same manufacturer have different code (the last time I checked), so it is not as simply as borrowing the module. If anyone wishes to risk his board with this, then it is their own choice.

However, I was able to replace the microcodes by using UEFIPatch and a long string (the entire microcode added in patches.txt), so it can be done if UEFIPatch will allow file replacement, i.e.

[GUID] [Section] P:[begin pattern]:F:[File]
or
[GUID] [Section] P:[begin pattern]:S:[Total Size]:F:[File]
 

In CrosshairV-Formula-ASUS-1703.zip there is a bug, missing 4393 MISC.BIN. And from a quick check, it seems that Asus indeed stores 4392/7802 in FD.ffs and 4393/7803 in FC.ffs. So UBU 1.8.0 RC4 does the right thing.

Thanks for the info.

Are the files you attached are already patched?
//Edit
No they arent.
Can you please explain how to update / patch the µcode pls?

And for efi raid driver i think there two versions.
one for pure uefi bioses and one for hybrid uefi bioses.

Maybe that explains also the different version numbering.

for example:

1.17 vs 1.0.0.45

i mean the 0.0. between the numbers (ignore the different ending numbers)

@shm0

I take it you were talking to me? If so, then the files are all originals, as extracted. Furthermore, I will add another example, where AGESA is again different for the same version. The differences are smaller this time, since is the same manufacturer - Asus. So it is a dead end for AGESA updating.

If you wish to update microcodes, they are found inside AmdProcessorInitPeim. There are too many messages to find your original post, so please post your exact board and BIOS version you use, I will take a look later. A link will be fine, don't upload the official BIOS here. But notice that AMD microcodes are not as independent as Intel ones, they need AGESA.

As for EFI RAID, 1.17 is actually 1.0.0.17 and is an older version. If updating 4 files is not enough, then blame AMD for doing everything difficult. My only suggestion is to use a clear CMOS before+after and start with a new RAID.

Yes i were talking to you :D

I have a Crosshair V not the Z one. Bios version is 1703.
So no way to update the agesa + µcode?

This Bios has Efi Raid 1.17

I tried with 1.0.0.20 and it works.
1.0.0.45 and 1.0.0.49 arent working.

MAybe you have some older version below 1.0.0.45 and newer then 1.0.0.20 ?


//edit
Okay i tried to use the AmdProcessorInitPeim and AmdAgesaDriverDXE from the Z Version (which are newer)
But as you said it doesnt work. Still shows the old µcode. :|

@shm0

I don't see anything worthy in microcode update. Here is your BIOS:



Only cpu10A0_ver010000BF_date#17-02-2010 can be updated to cpu10A0_ver010000DC_date#24-10-2011. This doesn't mean that there are no updates available, just that I haven't found anything newer than that.

What is your current CPU and microcode - a screenshot of CPU-Z? If you know that some BIOS have a newer microcode, please point me to a download link.

I have some 1.0.0.41 and 1.0.0.42 AMD EFI RAID, but that was before I knew that they use 5 files, so I only have RaidX64 and RaidSetup. Don't know why they use so many small modules instead of a single and better one. I don't see any errors in UBU updating, so either AMD has screwed by involving yet another module, or you need to start over with clear CMOS and new RAID, since it is quite a jump from 1.0.0.17 to 1.0.0.49.

AmdProcessorInitPeim.ffs is attached with updated cpu10A0_ver010000DC_date#24-10-2011. Patches.txt is an example file that shows how UEFIPatch can be used for AMD microcode updating.

Thanks for helpinig me out :D

for the µcode version see here:

http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?t=80506

i have µcode version 06000629
The newest seems to be: 0600063D

My CPU is and AMD FX 8120 Zambezi.

Can you please upload the Versions anyway pls?

I already tried cmos reset. still no go.
And i cant recreate the raid array. 6 TB array with almost 4.5TB filled.
