Hi everyone,

thanks for you awesome work. Thanks to these Threads and explanations i could follow the breadcrumps to here :smiley:

As the Title says i would like to know if its possible to activate/implement the function ā€œabove 4g decodeā€ and ā€œReziseable BARā€ ? If yes how much would be the needed effort ?

Thanks for the Information/Help

I guess its possible, but could you flash the bios region only using software option? i would really like to help if you could dump your own bios region + able to flash it. the .bin for this bios region is about 6MB (Bios only), itā€™s UEFI but not ami uefi. Here i provide a clean bios for 7020 but added NVME + Samsung AHCI + Rebar DXEs, with bios codename SHARKBAY (check cpuz > mainboard to see if yourā€™s the same). i also left the setup.txt for you to find which option does corresponds to above 4g since i could find it on uefitool but not on the ifr.

Hi Thanks for fast reply and help offer

I dont know what a ā€œBios regionā€ is , but the Bios it self is updateable atleast.

Well if i can find a tutorial here i sure should be able to do so. Ill check out this , this should work out. Ill try this tomorow after i install Windows on the machine (currently running Unraid only)

Thanks ill check tomorow and try flash

Nope in the a.txt file i couldnt find anything that would or could be the ā€œabove 4g decodeā€ setting.

Bios region means the Bios Part only thatā€™s updated, not the whole bios chip content (ME, Desc, GBE, etc.).

I wont recommend flash the bios i gave unless, you are able to flash the bios region only (not the whole bios chip).
