I reverting what said as i got new info: Purism shipped the last newer Rv-1.2 for L5 under Redpine, Rv1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 was under Silabs. It will a dream and magic if Purism released last RV Silabs for L5, as same Redpine module but with tons fixes and features plus Gnu ready module.
I hate Sparklan because too much unsecurity, unfreedom, uncontrol and complexity for end user and of course unGNU module.
I do not care if sparklan is Linux mainline, at this point i no longer care about Linux mainline for L5 or L14.
Linux mainline shipping tons of blackboxes deps on every release, which give a easy total control for vendors controllers thanks to Linux.
RSI is so nice driver, as it give the freedom to enable Linux or Gnu on Systems. I do not know other driver like this, of course this freedom come thanks to Purism, sadly Opensource Ecosystem is killing slowly at Purism by forcing opensources modules like spaklan to L5.

Fast question.

Two years ago I have bought some bios chip for A88XM-E Asus motherboard. Are compatible with asus kgpe-d16? Not the bios, the chip only (i will re-flash it with properly rom of course)

Fast question. As usual people wrote manuals forgetting to put an example, see here

“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.”

but they forget to say model, for example searching “spi chip 16mb” on ebay returns a lot of things except a good bios chip for kgpe-d16.

So the question is..

If I download the 2mb rom from here

I will get at least bios+seabios?

Anyone know a good string for search and buy a compatible rom-chip for kgpe-d16? Thanks

EDIT:

This is more clear…
