Will pay you a beer for that when we meet somehow :-)

Ok, I will wait for his update and ignore the last one. @ piotrasd: in your next release post please show us then this line we have to enter before updating to your intel version. I tried to update to your r24948 but there came an error message. Now I will wait

here guys updated build with fix for color space range

When using pstate one should use powersave. Not sure why LE uses something else not pstate?

And thanks again for helping this project! Thumbs up.

haha, don't worries, Now I get it


RE: Intel Apollo Lake - elrik - 2016-12-17

@piotrasd thanks for builds!

have you any news about hdmi lspcon?
I did not dare to update the firmware installing windows, I think it is better to have patience and wait, if I can do something in this aspect tell me please.

PD: about the color fix.. the correct conf is OS full, TV limited range, and kodi Limited range right?


RE: Intel Apollo Lake - flyingernst - 2016-12-18

Which Firmware can you Install in Windows? I have Windows as seconds OS on my Player. Is it a official Firmware?!

We talk about firmware hdmi update from Intel NUC, its not for Asrock but its the same chip mc2800, maybe with this update solved the problem with HD audio, but is a risk.
Ours chip is made in March 2016, the firmware update is more newer.

Until install the firmware i see in the tutorial update the program show actual version, maybe you can execute the software to see if program detect actual version about ours chip, yo dont need execute update for that.

If you FW update is more new than this, i can try....

Edit: you refer this update?

RE: Intel Apollo Lake - piotrasd - 2016-12-18

this for 99% intel driver bug ... but if taking risk for you is fine you can try Tongue this is not my device Tongue


RE: Intel Apollo Lake - oo.viper.oo - 2016-12-18

I'm happy to test the firmware update once I get the ASRock board, because if I break it, I can return it. But I only get the board once someone confirms my scenario described earlier works.

- Connect 4K TV via HDMI 2.0 to get best picture
- Connect old AV receiver via HDMI 1.3 to get best sound

Edit: This board has apparently fundamental advantage over NUCs that it has two independent digital outputs HDMI(<-DP) and DVI(<-HDMI). I haven't seen any other Apollo Lake implementation with two digital outputs yet. Please, if you saw any other, point me to one.

The NUC6CAYH has LSPCon firmware 1.56 too.

Code:
[    6.426575] [drm:intel_dp_read_desc [i915]] DP branch: OUI 00-60-ad(NS) dev-ID MC2800 HW-rev 2.2 SW-rev 1.56

If you read further this is firmware update for NUC6i7KYK (the Skull Canyon NUC) that has Parade Technologies PS175 DP->HDMI2 converter. NUC6CAYH has the same MC2800 converter as the ASRock boards, but there's no firmware update for that model available. Or am I wrong?
