Asrock has always been terrible at updating their website, some of it can be excused by saying they don't want to publish beta builds that could brick boards. (but they have done that anyway)

I will say they are more responsive to providing builds for issues quickly compared to supermicro though. But they also have more bugs in general it seems than supermicro.

i was able to convince my retailer to
contact the distributor
who contacted supermicro europe
and then the changelog was provided ...

also it is actually not possible to get
sm mainboards at all for my retailer here
in germany. the distributor told us after
asking for availability of sm mobos that
sm is not interested anymore in selling
mobos to ordinary retailers ...

A bit off topic, but for those wanting to access the Java iKVM without too much hassle, I just managed to get 2 Ways of it working, both based on this Docker Image (read the Issues Section if you try to build the develop Branch !):

github.com

GitHub - MisterCalvin/supermicro-java-ikvm: A container for connecting to Supermicro Java based iKVM viewers via a web browser

A container for connecting to Supermicro Java based iKVM viewers via a web browser - MisterCalvin/supermicro-java-ikvm
github.com github.com

Combined with Authentik Identity Provider (Self-Hosted) you get:
  • Proxy Outpost: Authentication via Authentik, then Web GUI from the Docker Container (noVNC)
  • RAC Outpost: Web GUI & Authentication via Authentik (VNC Connection)

Via Authentik RAC

Not super Memory Efficient unfortunately

Around 453 MB of RAM used.

Granted if you are happy with the Proxy + built in noVNC, you can shave off 95 MB of the Authentic RAC Outpost Container, down to around 358 MB.

My plan now is to see if I can take advantage of Proxmox VE Kernel Samepage Merging (KSM) to reduce the Memory Usage in case of spinning up multiple Instances (1 for each Target Server). Unfortunately even the smallest VM (Alpine) sits at around 400MB Disk Usage without even spinning up a Container. LXC Alpine would be 100 MB Disk Usage with Podman installed and ready to go, but unfortunately KSM doesn't seem to work with LXC Containers (across User Namespaces) :( .

Disk Usage vs Memory Usage I guess.

Probably better to just turn these on on-demand, although that would require some other kind of control Method via SSH or similar.

EDIT 1: if desired, maybe better to move to a separate Thread ?

I don't know if you're interested, but I found an Item ID that's not listed in either of the tracking DBs:

Item IDMotherboardFiletypeVersionDate
18804H11DSi(-NT)BMC/IPMI1.52.212023-09-26

I'm trying to fix an issue where onboard LAN1 and LAN2 disappeared after BIOS and IPMI updates, and found this while searching. Thanks to everyone who puts in the effort to keep the archives updated!

Duh, so the Naming Scheme has some Sense for once :) .

I actually managed to get GitHub - MisterCalvin/supermicro-java-ikvm: A container for connecting to Supermicro Java based iKVM viewers via a web browser working now, using the pre-built Image (based on Debian Bullseye).

The one failing was the one I was trying to build locally (to try to get some newer Version).

On my Supermicro X9SRI-F, I updated the BMC firmware from 3.19 to 3.64 and supermicro-java-ikvm deployed in a docker LXC container (Proxmox) works very fine now ! Before, with 3.19 ver., the ikvm was totally not working

I have bios 3.4 on my Supermicro X10SLM+-f board. How do I downgrade to 3.3? Anyone have this bios file? I am guessing you cant downgrade using maintenance tool. HAving issue booting in UEFI with 3.4
