Kernel Configuration

CPU

This list is only a guideline, in particular note that current kernels (5.4) need to disable SME due to an incompatibility with the amdgpu driver.

        [*]   AMD IOMMU support
        <*>     AMD IOMMU Version 2 driver
        [*]   Support for Interrupt Remapping

The CCP is present but non-functional due to a broken BIOS:

Storage Devices

The NVMe driver has support for temperature sensors as of Linux 5.5.

Device Drivers  --->
    NVME Support  --->
        <*> NVM Express block device
        [*] NVMe hardware monitoring

If you have SATA disks, the usual driver works. There are six physical ports spread across four PCIe devices, presumably to make virtualisation setups simpler.

The NIC can have its firmware (rtl_nic/rtl8168h-2.fw) built into the kernel to silence a warning, though in practice it doesn't affect functionality.

Peripherals

The XHCI driver covers all USB functionality, even the USB 2.0 ports.

Device Drivers  --->
    [*] USB support  --->
        [*]   PCI based USB host interface
        <*>   xHCI HCD (USB 3.0) support

Sensors

The following is correct for Linux 5.6:

  • The CPU supports the k10temp driver with ⅛°C resolution. Linux 5.6 also supports Fam17h voltage, current and per-core-complex temperatures.
  • ACPI Thermal Zone readings appear to be invalid and unchanging, at 16.8°C. dmesg contains warnings about “Invalid passive threshold” which might be related, but according to web search results this appears to be a BIOS bug.
  • The X570-UD has an IT8688 chip on an i2c-piix4 bus. sensors-detect can see the IT8688 but Linux does not have a driver for it. The BIOS provides a configuration GUI for its various fan settings and temperature trip points.

Raw unfiltered sensor values for reference, using kernel 5.5.2 (with the k10temp patches from 5.6):

Known hardware issues

  • Many of AMD's AM4 CPUs come with an animated RGB LED heatsink fan, which some may find irritating. It can be disabled (persistently) using the included USB cable and cm-rgb.
  • If boot ends in a hard reset more than once in a row (e.g. due to a kernel misconfiguration), the firmware will reset its settings back to factory defaults. To lessen the impact of this, use the “Save Profile” option in the BIOS menu to keep a backup of known-working settings, and use kexec to test new kernels and avoid doing a cold reboot.
  • Do not change Default ASPM policy from "BIOS default" in the kernel, as the power saving modes will cause various peripherals (including NVMe) to go missing during boot.
