    Thunderbolt 4, modified firmware, Full Thunderbolt Bus tree

    @Elias64Fr , do you by any chance have the stock unmodified firmwares for this card, hopefully the later ones that fix ASM USB4 compatibility issues? Edit; It looks like AsRock just stopped updating the firmware for V1 of that card and came out with the rev 2 version. Lol. That’s some BS. I...

    Thunderbolt 4, modified firmware, Full Thunderbolt Bus tree

    These motherboards don’t have onboard / integrated Thunderbolt 3 / Titan Ridge, support is offered via AIC (add in card), I think anyway, so I don’t see any F/W inside these. Prior to TB4, I believe FW updates were distributed separately from UEFI capsules…the reason why Intel left out Linux...

    Thunderbolt 4, modified firmware, Full Thunderbolt Bus tree

    Idk about Mac or Win, but on Linux it’s trivial https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/thunderbolt.html Only caveat is like I said you can’t dump current firmware and then write that binary back, you have to format it (put header & padding, and then remove zeroes at the end), and if you want to...

    Thunderbolt 4, modified firmware, Full Thunderbolt Bus tree

    I still haven't had any luck trying to find and extract the v31 TB F/W from this MSI Z690 ACE UEFI cap. It's the original 1.0 release of the BIOS. So I would assume it has to have the Thunderbolt firmware in there, but maybe not? Anyway, if someone has time and can take a look and help out, I...

    Thunderbolt 4, modified firmware, Full Thunderbolt Bus tree

    If anyone has MSI Z690 MEG ACE, looking for older Thunderbolt 4 Maple Ridge v31 firmware for a friend. I tried loading a few of their UEFI capsules from their downloads section into UEFITool, but I can't find anything. Usually you can hex search for something like "736B6970 206C6973" and it'll...

    Thunderbolt 4, modified firmware, Full Thunderbolt Bus tree

    Yeah, unmodified v31 maple ridge from HP, and dumped from an identical system that had not been updated yet. @racermaster I owe you a beer. Saved me a boat load of money and time by helping explain the fw format. Would have had to order all new FlexIO TB4 MR modules, and hoped that they still...

    Thunderbolt 4, modified firmware, Full Thunderbolt Bus tree

    The problem I was having…. I compiled a new kernel with that patch, and the proper nodes in sysfs now show up. Initially I thought it was blocking the downgrade, but the issue is you can't dump a nvmem, and then write that same dump back. It's not formatted properly, and authentication won't...

    Mac Pro x79 and Thunderbolt?

    Redwood Ridge (TB 2.0) controller can route displayport signals from the built in AMD FirePros. Also on other TB machines coming out, displayport support will be optional from what I recall hearing at a recent tradeshow. So some machines will be PCIe only, no DP. But this is just a rumor right...
