oh thats really different from the v3s i have, the 2 lan bios are on the back side and the main near the hdmi port. i successfully read and flashed the onboard main bios without issues just using the dip8 clamp, i dont think you will have problem doing it.

you should be able to recover it flashing the correct version but beware that the clamp for the bios chip will not work properly on the x86-p5 because the chip is really close to the hdmi port shield.. you probably will have to mod the clamp cutting a grove until it touches all the pins of the...

after intense testing this little x86-p5 with the nvme expansion is ready to go in production, successfully running 5 nvme disks.. nvme0 is a temporary drive that will be replaced with another 4tb, nvme1-2-3 are in a mdadm raid5 with lvm and btrfs on top, nvme4 is the host boot drive. no zfs.

they will always send you the latest one available, and if you have specific problem they will look into it and try to fix it and give you the new bios (also beta versions if you ask).

uhm that is wierd, with the F3 bios i did nothing except flash it, config was reset to default after flash so everything came up as per screen.. did you check that you are on the correct revision? F3 5/15/2024?

yes i can confirm, i updated my two without loosing any config, just flash and reboot.

flashed on Ampcom switches, works :)

No those standoff are provided by cwwk with the board when ordered with the nvme expansion, it's supposed to be mounted upside down with the fan you see on the bottom pushing air up. I'm still testing nvme drives (i will install 5) to see how the temps are and then think on how to enclose...

bios flashing resets to factory default all the settings so everything should work ootb no need to change options. so it was indeed the wrong bios, they stated that the V3 has a different pcie lanes configuration that is probably why you could not see the m.2 in your V1/V2, good that you...

ask cwwk for a bios file for your board and flash that, should not be a problem.

no, the sata controller is default enable.. port 0 is the one near the lan ports, port 1 is memory side.

no i'm not usind hdmi out because it's a headless server.. i rdp in the w10 vm i would not use zfs on nvme drives tbh, you gonna wear them down very quickly because of the design of zfs.. good if you can see al the drives without updating the bios i've read that someone else also managed to get...

Fixed, now the expansion board works. It was indeed a bios problem, i talked with cwwk support and explained what was up, they sent me a bios revision 20240515 (stock came with 20231110), and now disk installed into any slot of the board are detected in bios and in proxmox. Here the main...

So i made some test with the x86-p5 v3 and the nvme slots. Testing the 4 port expansion i figured out that only the first port actually works (the one marked as H1), if i install a second nvme in any other port it's not recognized at all. So i tested the second nvme in the modded a+e to m port...

on the x86-p5 both port works, i had 2x mx500 ssd and installed proxmox zfs mirroring them.. i then moved away from zfs but they worked fine. sda is an ssd on sata0.

Ah they mean that the m.2 slot is now wired x4 (pcie3.0),and with the expansion board it can be splitted into 4 x1 slots. I can confirm that the expansion work splitting to x1, i've installed a 4Tb nvme (pcie4x4 downgraded to 3x1) and works great, recognized without issues even if cwwk states...

uhm it works here..

yes, i have two v3, one is my router based on n100 (full enclosure) and the other is my server/nas based on n305 (dev board case).. i previosly had a v1, dunno whats the difference between v2 and v3.

So the CWWK x86-p5 v3 with the 4x nvme board arrived, it's really a compact and clever design.. a temporary bench waiting to design and 3d print a stand/enclosure. I have not yet tested the daughter board but it should split the pcie x4 slot in 4x x1, i will probably test it with 4 nvme disk in...

arrived 4 days ago, super fast shipping. build quality is very good, it's classic SWTG118AS-V2.1 board, came with firmware v1.9 onboard, everything seems to be working fine, gonna test 2x 10gb sfp+ between them.
