Hi there, could you lend me a hand? I'm looking for the BIOS firmware for the Microsoft Project Olympus C2030 (17067-1A) motherboard. I bought this board from Amazon, but I noticed it doesn't come with a BIOS chip, so I decided to get a W25Q256. The thing is, I don't have the BIOS file. Would anyone be able to share this file with me? Also, the seller mentioned that this board supports only up to 205W TDP, but I have an 8175M (ES) CPU which has a TDP of 240W. Will it still work properly? If not, is there any way to make this board compatible with ES and higher TDP processors? Thanks a lot!

i have never seen this 2nd gen cerberus board working.
cerberus = Root of Trust Firmware.
a BIOS from other board should not work, it is initialized with other PCH serial.
note the 24 pin is propriätäry not ATX, and the 8 and 4 pin are Drive Power outputs, not Inputs.
the used BMC ASPEED doesn't support VGA.
Hey there, I have one of these boards I have been trying to get running. Did you try to power yours up? I am waiting for the mail to deliver me a CH314 programmer I ordered. When it is here I can try to grab the firmware for you!
thx, you also have the C2030 (17067-1A) motherboard on your side? I'm looking forward to good news from you. So far, I haven't been able to boot this motherboard, and I think I need its BIOS file. Also, could you open the socket of the BIOS chip and take a picture? I want to confirm if I made any mistakes.
Thx you for your message. AFAIK, that someone managed to get those LEDs on the motherboard to light up, but they couldn't see anything displayed on the screen, perhaps because it was connected via HDMI? However,They could switch caps. Unfortunately, after I requested a backup of the BIOS file, they accidentally burned out the chip while trying to read and write to it, so now there are two people who need this file XD.
If possible, can you get the BMC firmware?thx.The slots of the BMC chip look like the same as the BIOS slots.
Hey there, I managed to get my board running! I will link my youtube video below.
Once my programmer arrives, I will do my best to rip both firmwares for you!
BIOS chip in in its own clamshell,. it looks to be the same chip. Model is WINBOND 250256JVEQ - 1949.
Congrats, that's really great news! Also, the chip model you mentioned should be 25Q256JVEQ, not 250256JVEQ, right?
