It's alive. The flash finally took using the CH341A. (sorry last post) Supermicro wouldn't help me so the motherboard was destined for the scrap pile. I pulled my CPUs, pulled all risers, pulled PSUs, pulled CMOS battery, pulled TPM. Basically pulled everything except the cabling to the...

Got another CH491A, no difference/same error. Going to see if SuperMicro can help me else I'll just sell it for parts. The machine is mint condition and I go ahead and kill the board :oops:

Tried this earlier, same result. I tried without TPM and then with/without the CMOS battery as well.

Removed the TPM module... Tried uploading the flashrom backup I made of the original locked 3.8 BIOS using web gui but that errors with "BMC can't force ME to recovery mode." Uploading SuperMicro 4.2 bios using sum fails package verification. ~/Downloads/x11dpu_4.2 $ ./sum -i 192.168.0.195...

Tried using the debian image you had, no difference. Also, my board currently bricked. Power button doesn't work. IPMI still accessible but it won't power on from web gui either. I ordered a different CH341A from amazon in case I somehow got a lemon and to resurrect this doorstop. If anyone...

Nice. Care to share what commands you ran? What version of flashrom and what OS? I think I have 1.3.0 but curious if you built from source. Trying to understand if I have a bad programmer or if I'm just doing it wrong... I disconnected it from power, took out CMOS battery (also tried with it...

You're right, I took the bios sticker off and it is a MX25L25673G. I'm just using the most recent version from `apt` on latest Ubuntu for `flashrom`. Is it possibly outdated? The one it matched to is the only one that is shown by `flashrom -L` that begins with MX25L256 First time I've ever...

Let me know if you have better luck than me... I backed up the BIOS fine but it failed during writing, ugh. $ flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -w BIOS_X11DPU-091C_20231215_4.2_STD.bin flashrom unknown on Linux 6.5.0-26-generic (x86_64) flashrom is free software, get the source code at...

Oh I meant which CH341A, I see a bunch listed on some sites and on Amazon. I'll give that a read though, thanks!

Never done something like this, any guides to follow here? Is it easy? I can solder last time I checked... Which CH341A device are you getting?

I got this same system from another seller but also cannot update the BIOS (BMC updated fine). I tried to follow the suggestion from the X10 thread (https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/supermicro-6028u-trtp-x10dru-i-barebone-349.30584/post-414803) , but `/GAN` doesn't seem to be...

Sorry to revive an old thread, I think I got one of these cards (Dell OEM) and the red/green light are on immediately when I turn on the server. Doesn't show in `lspci` in ubuntu. `sas3flash.efi -list` under UEFI shows No Avago SAS adapters found (Version 13.00.00.00). Been reading the forums...

If anyone was looking for one, this seller accepted my offer of $100 for one (only 1 left), Dell LSI SAS9305-16e 16-Port 12Gbs SAS Controller / 00VYM4 - Low - VGC | eBay

Now can someone ELI5 what AVX-512 is and what it improves? Seems like its only at 2.2Ghz vs. normal which is 3.1Ghz max all core clock?
