+# ASUS P8H61-M Pro
+
+This page describes how to run coreboot on the [ASUS P8H61-M Pro].
+
+## Flashing coreboot
+
+```eval_rst
++---------------------+------------+
+| Type | Value |
++=====================+============+
+| Socketed flash | yes |
++---------------------+------------+
+| Model | W25Q32BV |
++---------------------+------------+
+| Size | 4 MiB |
++---------------------+------------+
+| Package | DIP-8 |
++---------------------+------------+
+| Write protection | no |
++---------------------+------------+
+| Dual BIOS feature | no |
++---------------------+------------+
+| Internal flashing | yes |
++---------------------+------------+
+```
+
+The flash IC is located right next to one of the SATA ports:

+
+### Internal programming
+
+The main SPI flash can be accessed using [flashrom]. By default, only
+the BIOS region of the flash is writable. If you wish to change any
+other region (Management Engine or flash descriptor), then an external
+programmer is required.
+
+The following command may be used to flash coreboot:
+
+```
+$ sudo flashrom --noverify-all --ifd -i bios -p internal -w coreboot.rom
+```
+
+The use of `--noverify-all` is required since the Management Engine
+region is not readable even by the host.
+
+## Known issues
+
+- There is no automatic, OS-independent fan control. This is because
+ the super I/O hardware monitor can only obtain valid CPU temperature
+ readings from the PECI agent, whose complete initialisation is not
+ publicly documented. The `coretemp` driver can still be used for
+ accurate CPU temperature readings.
+
+- me_cleaner breaks LPC bus and attached components!
+- PS/2 mouse doesn't work
+
+## Untested
+
+- parallel port
+- EHCI debug
+- S/PDIF audio
+
+## Working
+
+- PS/2 keyboard
+- PCIe graphics
+- USB
+- Gigabit Ethernet
+- Integrated graphics
+- SATA
+- Serial port
+- hardware monitor (see [Known issues](#known-issues) for caveats)
+- front panel audio
+- Native raminit (2 x 2GB, DDR3-1333)
+- Native graphics init (libgfxinit)
+- Wake-on-LAN
+- TPM on TPM-header
