[oi-dev] oi-dev Digest, Vol 83, Issue 20

I'm not much of a programmer at all - just an enthusiast; I don't understand how to know what boards will work and which ones won't, other than the "works for me (WfM)" list on the wiki. This is further compounded by the fact that my desired application requires me to use a mini-itx board, and the LGA1150 boards on the WfM list are old and unavailable for purchase using major outlets. Any insight on how I can spur my own research? What boards have sufficient documentation to take up driver dev as a hobby?


Mike

Actually...
There was a respin due on the 20170502 images to resolve a boot issue on specific hardware that worked with the 20161030 images.
Newer dev snapshots resolve this boot issue. Haven't tried on the MSI X299 motherboard, but know we lack some drivers to enable all of its hardware features.

Obviously, instead of contacting us, he wrote directly an article to state the fact.

Last time this happened I contacted him to find out what caused the problem but he never reached back. What can we do about it?

Kind regards

These were the original images for 2017.04 published on 2017-05-02, or am I
wrong?
