# Supermicro X11SSM-F
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This section details how to run coreboot on the [Supermicro X11SSM-F].

|
|
## Flashing coreboot

|
|
|
The flash IC [MX25L12873F] can be found near PCH PCIe Slot 4.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The board can be flashed externally with a SOIC test clip or probes. Since
|
|
|
|
there is no diode between VCC3.3 and the flash chip, so VCC must **not** be
|
|
|
|
connected. Instead, the flash chip is powered from VCC3.3, which is always-on
|
|
|
|
(even in S5). WP# and HOLD# have pull-ups and don't need to be connected.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FTDI FT2232H and FT232H based programmers worked.

|
|
Flashing is also possible through the BMC web interface, when a valid license was entered.

## BMC (IPMI)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This board has an ASPEED [AST2400], which has BMC/[IPMI] functionality. The BMC firmware resides in a
|
|
|
|
32 MiB SOIC-16 chip in the corner of the mainboard near the PCH PCIe Slot 4. This chip is a
|
|
|
|
[MX25L25635F].

|
## Disabling LAN firmware
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To disable the proprietary LAN firmware, the undocumented jumper J6 can be set to 2-3.
