[ARCHIVE] Outdated UBU Tool related Questions, Reports and Suggestions

you mean threads, an i7-7700k is a quad core

I noticed it list microcode BA for skylake as the HT bug fix, but that was the microcode from before th fix was released!?!? is this a typo?

EDIT by Fernando: Unneeded parts of the fully quoted post removed (to save space)

If you believe the information from Intel, the evaporated microcodes were released in April.
Then it turns out that:
- for Skylake - cpu000506E3_plat36_ver000000BA_date09-04-2017.bin
- for Kabylake - cpu000906E9_plat2A_ver0000005E_date06-04-2017.bin

@ ALL
HT. Bug fix.

@ SoniX: Is the updated CPU microcode for Skylake/Kabylake that pertains to the recently discovered hyperthreading error been included in UBU v1.69.4?
Thanks.

Tried running on a Supermicro X10DAX and recieved the following.

Press any key to continue . . . What does the above Attention!! mean.I thought to ask here first before I reflash the bios with this update…

I am getting file size exceeds the volume size when i try to update EFI IRST RAID for SATA 15.7.0.3054 any way to fix this.

Other then that it all works did’t have any problem with other version. also OROM IRST will work no problem there it only seems to be the efi part.
Thanks


That just means the version isn’t for your board. I havew a Z97X that can only update to 14.8.2.2397. I imagine your’s will only update to 14.8.2.2397 as well.

I am using 15.7.0.2925 with no problems. will that sucks.

are you sure it changed it to 15.7.0.2925. Cause if it Gave you the error it most likely didn’t change it. try re-running ubu on the same bios file. and see if it changed it.

The Intel EFI RaidDriver v15.7.0.3054 has an uncompressed size of 238 KB and is the biggest of all Intel EFI RaidDriver versions.
If there is not enough space within the DXE Driver Volume, but you want to update the related EFI module nevertheless, you may have to remove another EFI module. >Here< is a tip given by CodeRush regarding the EFI modules, which can be removed without any problems (unless you want to use the Wake-on-LAN option).

@ Fernando
It can be done by replacing the body of PE32 image section of RaidDriver module with UEFITool without the need of removing any other modules.

@Ferrous :
In this special case the method you mentioned may work, because only the space for a few more bytes are missing. The DXE Driver Volume cannot be expanded by the user.
I just wanted to let Mr.Beer know the reason for the message he got and that it is not a bug of the UBU tool.

@ Fernando
UEFITool tries expanding the DXE volume if needed, while MMTool does not.

thanks for the update will look at the fourm later and do a litte reading.

you mean threads, an i7-7700k is a quad core



Well, indeed there are 8 processors under the "Processors" tab, 4 if you disable hyperthread. Obviously they are threads, but they’re shown as cores…

So i replacing the body of PE32 image section of RaidDriver module with UEFITool and it all seems to work.

Thanks for the info.
lol i soon will have to do everthing in UEFITool .

I have been meaning to get around to figuring this out but now I don’t have to - thanks Ferrous!

I have now updated the EFI module to 15.7 as well as the OROM.

Is there an updated version of MMTool.exe that fixes "OROM and EFI files in the GUID A0327FE0-1FDA-4E5B-905D-B510C45A61D0 are not updated, since MMTool incorrectly replaces files."? I have a MSI Z270 Tomahawk Arctic and get this error opening the bios file.

@ ShadowFur

Maybe there is, but we are not available.
Therefore, UEFITool is used for independent work with GUID A032 A0327FE0-… ,
