[Discussion] UBU Tool related Questions/Reports/Suggestions

@mouseT447 :
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!

Because the UBU tool couldn’t find a newer CPU microcode for your mainboard.
Look here:

Advice: Download the latest versions of the MCE.exe and MCE.db from >this< page and replace the related files within the UBU folder.

Hello Dieter,
thanks for your help.
C - Check for MCE and DB updates are ready.
The new microcode is under UBU_v1_76_2_5\Files\intel\mCode\USR_mCode\cpu706A1_plat01_ver00000032_2019-08-28_PRD_21637812.bin over GenUSRmC.bat
But it dosen’t work.

@mouseT447 :
You are right - even if the desired microcode is within the UBU subfolder named USR_mCode, the execution of the GenUSRmC.bat gives me for unknown reasons the message, that the folder USR_mCode cannot be found.
Since I am not an expert regarding this problem, we should wait for SoniX’s reply.

@SoniX :
Can you help?

I have manually edit the MCUpdate.txt, added "706A1 USR_mCode\cpu706A1_plat01_ver00000032_2019-08-28_PRD_21637812.bin" - does not work, too.

With a MSI Bios (another pc) it works fine…

@SoniX :
Within the latest AMD SATA+NVMe RAID Drivers Installer Set (look >here<) I found the attached AMD EFI RAID BIOS modules v9.3.0.120 dated 02/03/2020.
Maybe you can use them for the next UBU update.

UBU does not work with IFWI 2.0 images (APL, GLK)

bad… but thanks for help.

For the next UBU update, Realtek released a new UEFI UNDI driver at the end of March 2020 and I’ve attached it for anyone who is interested to try it out.

amd?

Yup, AMD (Zen2)
Where did you find this?

In the meantime updatet bios with that mcode. Got accepted and is displayed in bios under board/cpu info.

Trying to update the RealTek part in my AMI ASUS BIOS. But I get an MMtool error. No message, just ‘MMtool error’ in red.
Did my best to research, still learning.
What to do next?
Can I trust what was built?

Motherboard: P8Z77-V-LX
Platform: AMI Aptio 4
Original BIOS: P8Z77-V-LX-ASUS-2501.CAP
UBU: UBU_v1_76_2_5.rar
MMtool: MMTool 5.02_patched\MMTool.exe

EDIT1: screendump included
EDIT2: added link to original ASUS BIOS file

@apie :
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum and thanks for your report!

It should not fail after having read the start posts of >this< and >this< thread.

Dieter (alias Fernando)

Thanks for the pointer, I learned that with Quick Reply you do not get the Attach File option.
Now screendump is attached to original post.
Andre

Is there any expert that can answer my questions: (1) what to do (2) can I trust what was built despite the MMtool error.
Please see my original post for details and screencopy.
Thanks so much!

@apie :
l suspect, that only the UBU developer SoniX may be able to answer your question.
According to >this< guide it is recommended to insert the following MMTool versions into the UBU folder:
- MMTool v5.0.0.7 as mmtool_a4.exe
- MMTool v5.2.0.2x as mmtool_a5.exe
According to your first post you have put only the “MMTool 5.02_patched\MMTool.exe” into the UBU folder. Such MMTool version doesn’t exist.
My advice: Copy the above mentioned 2 renamed MMTool versions into the UBU folder and redo the BIOS update.
If you should get the MMTool error message again while trying to update the Realtek BIOS modules, I recommend either to wait until SoniX has given you an answer or to flash the modded BIOS without having updated the Realtek BIOS modules.


I remember having tried all MMtool versions before, and did that again just now.
My platform is Aptio 4 so only the v5.0.0.7 is used by UBU.
I will not flash without the RealTek update because that is the part I want to upgrade (I have a problem iPXE booting this machine).
OK thanks for now, I will wait and hope for @SoniX 's attention.

@apie There’s a missing space in UBU.bat, line 1123

" else (
(findhex 00EC106881 csmcore>nul || findhex A0EC106881 csmcore>nul) && set did=8168 && set romf=%forom% 10EC 8168 && call :romu
(findhex 00EC106981 csmcore>nul || findhex A0EC106981 csmcore>nul) && set did=8169 && set romf=%forom% 10EC8169 && call :romu
))“

should read:

” else (
(findhex 00EC106881 csmcore>nul || findhex A0EC106881 csmcore>nul) && set did=8168 && set romf=%forom% 10EC 8168 && call :romu
(findhex 00EC106981 csmcore>nul || findhex A0EC106981 csmcore>nul) && set did=8169 && set romf=%forom% 10EC 8169 && call :romu
))"


@lfb6 Wow, great find.
UBU completes without error.
