Hi, on a new X570D4U the BMC is giving me nothing but trouble. It came with the latest BIOS and BMC firmware P1.20.
- I was originally able to access the BMC via its web interface.
- However, it would reset every ~10 minutes or so (heartbeat stopped, fans ramped up, the virtual devices in Linux vanished and reappeared, web session terminated). In an attempt to diagnose that, I changed the networks settings in the IPMI web interface. Bad mistake.
- Ever since that, the BMC fails to initialize (BIOS says "self test FAILED", and does not display a BMC firmware version number, and the H/W sensors are empty). On power up, the heartbeat LED comes on solid, starts blinking for ~40 seconds, and then goes off (this cycle will repeat). Linux does not find an ipmi device, so I can't reset it using ipmitool either.
I've contacted Asrock Rack support but they're slow. Does anyone here have an idea how to completely reset the BMC? Clearing the CMOS did not do it.
In another thread I saw similar problems with the X470D4U. It seems the "solution" was an RMA?
So far, I'm pretty disappointed with this board. Unfortunately, nobody else seems to make a board with BMC for Ryzen.
Thanks,
Robert
