Support for 1.80A Beta Firmware

[dtcooper]

Hi there,

With the 1.80A beta firmware (available here), I get the following error with the patch being rejected,

root@8f67935f9c0a:/tmp/asrock-x300-s3-fix# ./mkoverride.sh

Probably ASRock just increased the version number of the ACPI table which breaks the patch to increase it. I have to see what I'm going to do about it in terms of supporting multiple versions.

[dtcooper]

Great! Thanks for looking into it. :)

EDIT: reading replies maybe with "deep sleep" they don't refer to S3 mode but the bugged one implemened. No sure.

Hi,
https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/new-bios-update-asrock-deskmini-x300-bios-l1-80a-agesa-combo-v2-pi-1-2-0-7.18014/
Here somebody speculates that with latest FW "Deep sleep" could be offically enabled.
Still with patched 1.70 so I canìt verify.

Regards.

I quickly reverse-engineered 1.79 and the code which disables S3 is still in there.

Heya! Just wondering if there's any update to getting this working with the 1.80A firmware. Cheers!

I added an SSDT to patch the DSDT by OpenCore. This should theoretically work across all firmware versions and support all operating systems!

the reported version is

DefinitionBlock ("", "DSDT", 2, "ALASKA", "A M I ", 0x00000001)

where the patch tries to apply

-DefinitionBlock ("", "DSDT", 2, "ALASKA", "A M I ", 0x01072009)
+DefinitionBlock ("", "DSDT", 2, "ALASKA", "A M I ", 0x0107200A)

is it safe to just patch the patch file to bypass this error?

[lorenz]

I haven't verified 1.80A, but assuming this is the only thing you change I have pretty high confidence that this is safe (but there is obviously no warranty on that statement).

[Brli]

works. it now suspend to s3 as only the blue blinking LED

my cpu is AMD Ryzen 7 PRO 4750G, so, should i open a PR to update readme?

[lorenz]

Can you guys test 686917d? This should make it much more compatible with different BIOS/firmware versions.

Hi,
I'm using official 1.80D which supports BOTH S3 and restore after power failure.
If intersted you can check all the different versions here
