TUF Gaming X570 PRO (wifi)

[Martin Iturbide]

Hello Tamas, welcome to the forum.

With your hardware report, I had created this wiki page:
- https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=Lenovo_IdeaPad_Y510P
Let me know if you want me to add/correct something, and If you want me to name you as the reporter.

Thanks !!

Hi Martin,

>Hello Tamas, welcome to the forum.
Thanks, it is good to be here!

I had a look on the hardware report and the webcam "not tested" status got me curious.
I poked around a little bit and downloaded the webcam server and monitor tools from Wim's homepage.
Using these the webcam of my laptop is working. (Did no configuration at all)

Furthermore, I have tested the uniaud drivers on my main desktop PC (has a motherboard TUF Gaming X570 PRO (wifi) )
With the /A:1 parameter the audio also works nicely!
(Unfortunately ArcaOS 5.1 is unstable with this mobo, often it crashes with module exceptions e.g. "GOTCHA" OR "XWPDAEMN" after 5 secs after the desktop appears and it has the Intel® I225-V NIC that seems to be totally unsupported right now (or ever). I might start a thread regarding this mobo in the future, but without network support it might not make sense using ArcaOS on this hardware.)

I do not mind to be added as the reporter on the Y510P.

These crashes are *highly* unlikely to have anything to do with the motherboard. Both apps hook the global message queue to intercept various keystrokes. This is almost certainly a pure software problem that doesn't involve any hardwre other than the CPU and memory.

Have you installed any 3rd-party software (other than the webcam driver) that you could remove/disable?  If the problem persists, file a bug report with AN since they installed both of these (I maintain 'xwpdaemn", so I'm curious to see what's going wrong).

My ASUS has a AMD 570 and I experience no troubles like that. In fact it runs like a dream. I do not thin it is the motherboard either.

Hello

I slipped the topic, just because it was going away from UniAud.

Tamas, the "Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus (wi-fi)" was reported by Eugene Tucker here:
- https://www.os2world.com/wiki/index.php?title=Asus_TUF_Gaming_X570-Plus_(wi-fi)

Eugene, did you disabled hyperthreading on the UEFI BIOS ? Tamas, did you?

Regards

[Eugene Tucker]

Martin, yes hyper threading is off on my machine.

Hi Martin,

Sorry for the delay and thanks for your answers!

Unfortunately, I have the PRO (wifi) version of the X570 motherboard (and not the "plus" one) so the hardware report might not be accurate for this exact type.
But I will test ArcaOS 5.1 with hyperthreading turned of in my BIOS and see what happens. I am not sure, but I think it is on right now.

I will be back with the results soon!

UPDATE: I have reading about "hyperthreading" a little bit. Isn't it an Intel thing? This mobo have an AMD processor. But there is an SMT thing in the BIOS, I can try to turn that off and test.

Or you can try disabling virtual CPU's on ACPI using the cpumask (not easy to do and my system works with disabled CPU)

Hi guys,

Remy, thanks for your response!
In the meantime, I turned off SMT in my BIOS and now ArcaOS is stable, the crashes are gone! :-)
Now my only immediate problem is that this mobo has the Intel® I225-V NIC which is not supported at the moment. As far as I know.
(I wonder if it ever will be....?)
I have a TP-Link wifi USB dongle (TL-WN727N) but I have read that wifi support is scarce in ArcaOS.
I am thinking buying a Moschip based USB ethernet adapter because that solution seem to be supported and it is cheap enough.

I will post here if I can get my network working! :-)
