<h1 id="pagetop">ASUS KGPE-D16 server/workstation board</h1>
<p>
This is a server board using AMD hardware (Fam10h <b>and Fam15h</b> CPUs available). It can also be used
for building a high-powered workstation. Powered by libreboot. The coreboot port was done by
Timothy Pearson of <a href="https://raptorengineeringinc.com/">Raptor Engineering Inc.</a> and,
working with Timothy (and sponsoring the work) merged into libreboot.
</p>
<p>
<b>
NOTE: This board is unsupported in libreboot 20150518.
To use it in libreboot, for now, you must build for it
from source using the libreboot git repository.
</b>
</p>
<p>
Flashing instructions can be found at <a href="../install/index.html#flashrom">../install/index.html#flashrom</a>
</p>
<p>
<b>More information will be added later, including installation instructions. This is board-port-only for now.</b>

<h1 id="formfactor">Form factor</h1>
<p>
These boards use the SSI EEB 3.61 form factor; make sure
that your case supports this. This form factor is similar
to E-ATX in that the size is identical, but the position of
the screws are different.
</p>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h1 id="flashchips">Flash chips</h1>
<p>
2MiB flash chips are included by default, on these boards. It's on a P-DIP 8 slot (SPI chip).
The flash chip can be upgraded to higher sizes: 4MiB, 8MiB or 16MiB. With at least 8MiB,
you could feasibly fit a compressed linux+initramfs image (BusyBox+Linux system) into CBFS
and boot that, loading it into memory.
</p>
<p>
<b>
DO NOT hot-swap the chip with your bare hands. Use a P-DIP 8
chip extractor. These can be found online.
