# ASUS P8C WS
This page describes how to run coreboot on the [ASUS P8H77-V].
## Flashing coreboot
```eval_rst
+---------------------+----------------+
| Type | Value |
+=====================+================+
| Socketed flash | yes |
+---------------------+----------------+
| Model | W25Q64FVA1Q |
+---------------------+----------------+
| Size | 8 MiB |
+---------------------+----------------+
| Package | DIP-8 |
+---------------------+----------------+
| Write protection | no |
+---------------------+----------------+
| Dual BIOS feature | no |
+---------------------+----------------+
| Internal flashing | yes |
+---------------------+----------------+
```
The flash IC is located beside the SATA ports (circled):
### How to flash
Unlike ordinary desktop boards, the BIOS version 3202 of ASUS P8C WS does not
apply any write protection, so the main SPI flash can be accessed using
[flashrom], and the whole flash is writable.
The following command may be used to flash coreboot. (To do so, linux kernel
should be started with `iomem=relaxed`)
```
# flashrom -p internal -w coreboot.rom
```
The flash chip is a socketed DIP-8 SPI flash, so it's also easy to remove and
flash externally.
## Working
- Intel Xeon E3-1225 V2 with 4 M391B1G73BH0-YK0 UDIMMs, ECC confirmed active
- PS/2 keyboard with SeaBIOS 1.14.0 and Debian GNU/Linux with kernel 5.10.40
- Both Onboard NIC
- S3 Suspend to RAM
- USB2 on rear and front panel connectors
- USB3
- Integrated SATA
- CPU Temp sensors (tested PSensor on GNU/Linux)
- LPC TPM on TPM-header (tested tpm-tools with TPM 1.2 Infineon SLB9635TT12)
- Native raminit
- Integrated graphics with libgfxinit (both analog and digital output from DVI-I)
- Nvidia Quadro 600 in all PCIe-16x slots
- Compex WLM200NX (Qualcomm Atheros AR9220) in PCI slot
- Onboard IEEE1394 controller under PCI bus
- Debug output from serial port
## Untested
- EHCI debugging
- S/PDIF audio
- PS/2 mouse
- LPT port
