### How to flash

The main SPI flash cannot be written because the vendor firmware disables BIOSWE
and enables BLE/SMM_BWP flags in BIOS_CNTL for their latest BIOSes. An external
programmer is required. You must flash standalone, flashing in-circuit doesn't
work. The flash chip is socketed, so it's easy to remove and reflash.

## Working

- PS/2 keyboard with SeaBIOS 1.14.0 and Debian GNU/Linux with kernel 5.10.28
- Integrated Ethernet NIC
- S3 Suspend to RAM
- USB2 on rear and front panel connectors
- USB3
- Integrated SATA
- CPU Temp sensors (tested PSensor on GNU/Linux)
- Native raminit
- Integrated graphics with libgfxinit (VGA/DVI-D/HDMI tested and working)
- PCIe in PCIe-16x slots
- Debug output from serial port

## Untested

- EHCI debugging
- S/PDIF audio
- PS/2 mouse
