   1. Is embedded Broadcom NIC firmware of this board supposed to come from ASRock or from Broadcom? I bought two boards, same hw release version 3.04 and one displays NIC subvendor is Broadcom while the other board shows ASRock. If niccli Broadcom application is used to install Broadcom firmware on the ASRock subvendor one - it is being rejected, while flashing firmware on the other board goes just fine. Would using -force option for flashing firmware on the ASRock subvendor one be OK or there exist ASRock special BCM firmware?
2. SSD M.2 4TB Crucial T700 NVMe PCIe 5.0 x 4 is installed in the M2_1 slot. Works just fine. BMC->Sensors M.2 temperature shows N/A as well as "ipmitool sensor" command shows TEMP_M.2 -> na? Is it Crucial nvme or board BIOS firmware to blame for this?
3. Can't have SRIOV VFs added - BIOS,CPU,IOMMU and BCM NIC SR-IOV options are all enabled, iommu=on added as kernel boot parameter. No luck when echoing number of virtual functions in sriov_numvfs. Clues regarding SRIOV support and what parameter/s in BIOS or BCM NIC being missied to enable?

Thank you for your time reading this!
