Thank you so much for posting this, xadox. I bought an X470D4U a few days ago and using this BMC firmware is literally the only way I've been able to get the BMC to work!

Here the Link to a Beta v2.05:

Where can I get the new BMC version 1.94?
I ask because the official support page still offers V1.90.

I have had two of these mainboards and both behave in exactly the same way with regard to system hanging/freezing, loss of IPMI functionality. But I found a work-around that makes the IPMI/KVM functional. !!!UNPLUG THE MONITOR FROM THE BOARD!!! then use the IPMI/KVM to view the console session it will function properly. * i tried two different monitors, two different mainboards and same result. During the boot process ie before the bios screen if you are attached to the IPMI/KVM session the system will have all kinds of issues which i mention above. BMC firmware 1.60 BIOS ver. P3.20

** UPDATE!

After working with asrock and providing them all the details to reproduce the fault which we discovered there was more ( their test monitor was low resolution so it did not bring out the issue).

After confirming that the resolution of the attached monitor is a factor ( higher res monitors bring out the BUG ). Asrock quickly produced and supplied me with a new BMC FW 1.94.00. This appears to have solved the problem.

So my thoughts on this mainboard and Asrock are positive. I can now say that I recommend this serverboard.

This way the onyl way to access the BIOS settings is going on the server with your screen and keyboard and plug them in. Can you tell me what is the purpose of IPMI/Remote session ? 2) I found that unchecking the "Enable inventory support" option in the BIOS let the server boot without problem. So inventory option must be disabled and is useless now.

1. I have same problems with dual reboots system and bmc (when use ACPI Shutdown or reboot, But I get postcode 33 after this or when I use shutdown or power off button, system not starts next time and next powercycling solve the problem)
2. I get from support BIOS L1.25 and BMC 1.90 but this not helps(but this solves esxi 6.7 hungs on storage initialization). After updates I clear the CMOS by remove battery and closing by it(battery) clear cmos pins.
3. I use BIOS option to Disable "Inventory support" and this solve my problems.
At now I try to return this option to Enable and I have no problem with dual (bios and bmc) reboots. Now I can't reproduce the problem.
4. My system is: Asrock X470D4u mobo, Ryzen 7 3700x, 16Gbx2 DDR4 2666 Mhz 1.2V, 2xpci-e M.2 ssd ADATA SX8200
