Supermicro X11SSH-F motherboard works

jkuroda opened this issue 9 years ago · 7 comments

We acquired back in January a Supermicro 5019-MR system that uses the Supermicro X11SSH-F motherboard.

As of BIOS Revision C29 (Dec 29 2015), the system has full support for SGX when used with SGX-enabled E3-1200v5 Skylake Processors. The same board is in used in two other systems so those systems should also have the same level of support for SGX-enabled processors.

Supermicro advertises that the rest of their new E3-1200v5 Skylake systems have SGX support, but we have not verified this outside of the one system that we have.

Thanks I added it to the list!

I just upgrade to 2.0 BIOS and the SGX support is gone. I wrote to Supermicro and they replied:

This is not an issue.
From Intel's latest POR, SGX won't be supported with latest 2.0 BIOS on Skylake Server MBs anymore.

Latest firmware with SGX support (1.0b): X11SSH6.505.zip

BIOS 2.0b restores SGX support and also includes the 7/25 microcode security update.

Does it also make system provide /dev/mei0 consistently?

Seems unrelated to that, but see my comment in #24
