@SoniX

A new release of the script:

- added extraction and version for ASIX USB UNDI and only extraction for SMSC USB UNDI, Realtek USB UNDI. Also x86 detection.
- Intel ME or TXE detection, along with variant and date. Thanks to Igor and Plutomaniac.
- added Intel RST RAID for PEIM, found in Insyde UEFI.
- added CloverView and ValleyView detection + extraction. I had to write the version detector in python, since it has a structure like 7.x.yyyy and is also x86 or x64 coded.
- usage of uefifind to clear false positives. Unfortunately, on my machine it was too slow to use uefifind for everything.
- added many new GUIDs, but most of them for Insyde.
- added AMD firmware SMU and IMC extraction, by reading coreboot and SMU vulnerability. If it has a header, it will also print version and platform: TN - Trinity, RL- Richland, KB - Kabini, KV - Kaveri, ML - Mullins. If not, only version. It seems SMU is OEM independent, for the same platform and version you will always get the same firmware. Not sure about IMC, as I only have 3 samples from different platforms.
- Broadcom NIC firmware detection. Can't find a sample to also add extraction.
- separated ASM104x in ASM1042 and ASM1042A.
- added ASMedia, NEC firmware extraction
- a better rename for GOP addon, with platform_version_VBT template.
- in UEFIExtract.py using regex for clipboard reading, so you can copy a big chunk of data and only the GUID will be read.
- a few fixes in UEFIExtract.py
- added an option for official AMD microcodes found in Linux repositories. Use "acpu amd" for official bin.
- moved oromext3 into oromext. Now, using oromext will extract all OROMs from file, be it in CSMCORE, ffs or no header. Multiple images in OROM will be extracted as one image.
- kept oromext3 as an alternative, but added an extra argument. Using "oromext3 all" will extract individual OROMs, even when they are linked, like in SCSI or VBIOS+GOP.
- added "romscan" function by reading PnP spec. This takes an OROM and displays all available information from PCI structure. Using "romscan pnp" will also display PnP info.
- added a "diff" option. I wanted a quick way of inspecting those non-empty paddings. This extracts only those blocks that are different than scan byte.
- namelink improved with many IDs.
- fixed GUID detection for OROM. It should work in most cases. Haven't found one that fails.
- about x86 detection. For UNDI is simple, since they are usually built on top of UDK. We have "(0xFFFFFFFF - (UINTN)" for x86 and "(0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFULL - (UINTN)" for x64. For ValleyView, I read the PE header. 4D5A is the start of efi, at start + 3C is the pointer to PE header. PE begins with "50 45 00 00" and then code type follows: 014C for x86, 8664 for x64
- added version for all Intel UNDI, like 10G or 40G.

Pay attention to the BIOSes of Supermicro (C60x chipsets). The modules OROM are located in GUID 9F3A0016-AE55-4288-829D-D22FD344C347. New MMTool 5 allows you to work without problems.

I think we noticed this before in EVGA SR-X W888_008. But at that time I thought it was a mistake from EVGA. But the new MMTool does indeed reads this file for OROMs. I added this file for OROM search and also fixed oromlink to read the links. If the main pattern is not found, I just locate the first OROM and apply the first pattern from oromext to find the start of links. The rest is the same.

I noticed this new MMTool can replace the old one for both Aptio4 and AptioV. So I made some test changes, to use MMTool5 for all AMI EFI. Unfortunately, it provides mixed results. It works for the compressed volumes in Acer Iconia and Toshiba Encore and EVGA X99, but MMTool5 fails for Tiano in Thinkpad and also for LZMA in Intel releases from ME pack, like "Intel ME Tools 10.0.25.1048_utility". Also the false positives might rise, since with UEFIExtract I could just silence them.

It seems AMI has no fail-safe, it wants only standard AMI images. So I still keep UEFIExtract as a backup. UEFIExtract is also the only way for Insyde, Phoenix SCT or any strange EFI. UEFITool engine is just better than MMTool, it is like CodeRush beat them at their own game. Even PhoenixTool feels better constructed than MMTool, despite having a different purpose.

Here are the test changes. To be used only with MMTool5.

Updates will be, if there are new versions of OROM and microcode
Work has begun on a new version UBU 1.10.0, is partial support for the BIOS on the platform AptioV.

For 6-series most probably not. And you don't need them if everything is working as it should. Let's not exaggerate.

Not exaggerating at all. The tool is available to keep things updated. If there's a new release of the OROM's for series 6 boards then might as well use it. It's just an easy update anyway. My question was really about asking if there will likely be new OROM upgrades in the future, not if I need them. Most people tend to keep things updated even if they don't need to, because we can.

I doubt you are going to see new CPU Microcode for a SB/IV system. Even if you do, the previous uCodes are better for overclocking either way. Intel RAID oROM & RST driver support for 6-series was halted after v12, there won't be something new there either.

"Because we can": sure we can, up until you break something that was working properly. You can do a lot of things, whether it's recommended or not is a whole other story. A latter version does not automatically mean better. It might mean better for some configurations (usually newer PCHs). That applies to INF Utility, RAID oROM, RST Drivers, CPU Microdode & everything else.

Other 3rd party oROMs are system-specific and asking here whether they are going to get updated is silly. How should we know for certain? When and if something new is found, the forum/topics/tools etc are updated to reflect that good or bad change. That question does not make sense to me. Still, if you want a quick, generic & satisfactory on purpose answer then: Yes.

I'm getting "file size exceeds the volume size" with UBU 1.8.15...

This is not a bug in UBU, it is a problem of free space in the BIOS.
Give a link to the BIOS and microcode which you specifically need?

Edit:
If you need to update only for SandyBridge-E (06D6/06D7) choose option "2".

Hi, I have same problem with Asus P8H61-M LX2 pcb rev. 3.0 (file P8H61-M-LX2-SI-0605.ROM) and UBU v1.90. Option 2 not working. I need update only Sandy Bridge microcode for my i5 2400.

This board have Winbond W25Q32BV 32Mb flash. I was try BIOS for LX2/CSM (P8H61-M-LX2-CSM-ASUS-1003.ROM, CPU microcode has updated sucessfully). Motherboard is booting, but unstable and DVI output have artifacts (original BIOS 0605 works fine).

Other BIOSes for other revisions with 64Mb flash (like LX R2.0 etc.) is not working.

btw: I have EEPROM programmer, unsuccessful update is not a problem.
[[File:P8H61.png|none|400px|400px]]

Original BIOS v0605 from Asus site and partially updated (Intel OROM, RTL PXE, VGA OROM) is in attachment.

Thank you for fast response. Motherboard is on my HTPC.

I do not advise you to update OROM VBIOS, as in your case it requires setting.
Which one is better microcode I can not tell.
