Re: [qubes-users] Re: Lenovo G505S Coreboot

Alternatively, it could be that NDA is required not exactly to get these updated microcode files for our a-bit-old CPUs, but to understand - against what vulnerabilities these microcodes are trying to give the protection. Maybe there are some secret release notes that usually come with these

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Lenovo G505S Coreboot

I think: at the moment, the only possible way to become confident that a new 15h microcode at linux-firmware.git is the same (or at least close to being the same) as being offered to us under an NDA, without signing this NDA, is to install this microcode to your coreboot and then run some tests to

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Lenovo G505S Coreboot

*ML thread reply* Hey guys you can install the latest microcode now from linux-firmware, no NDA or w/e I believe this is the latest version. See my thread on the coreboot ML for more info. Remember folks the G505S has a piledriver cpu and thus it NEEDS a microcode update to have IOMMU (and thus

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Lenovo G505S Coreboot

These microcodes from platomav are not new enough to have spectre v2 fixed at them! We are in the process of requesting an updated microcodes from AMD, and there is already some progress: we have been offered the updated microcodes with spectre V2 fix under the NDA. However, most likely this NDA

Re: [qubes-users] Re: Lenovo G505S Coreboot

Got it. I understand I need to build the coreboot image and flash it. However still a little confused on how exactly to implement the microcode update? I assume its still not a part of the latest coreboot. Was it these two files I am looking for changes in?

Hi there Friend ! What 8 cells battery you have got, and from which seller? It is either your battery needs a few power cycles to get to its' full performance, or maybe you have received a battery with the different power cells (not SANYO) : e.g. your original battery was SANYO but that new 8cells

Among other suggestions, I added an 8-cell battery to my G505s. What kind of battery life are people getting with these? Mine seems hardly better than the OEM 4-cell. Just wondering if I got a bum battery or if the improvement isn't really that significant. Thanks again to everyone for

FYI the microcode update is mandatory no matter what OS you are running otherwise I could literally root your computer with a few commands due to the NMI exploit on piledriver CPU's and of course the IOMMU wouldn't work either so no DMA protection. -- You received this message because you are
