My ASRock A310 Low Profile had nothing matching in the matrix for oprom-data, oprom-code or fw-data. Reading through the thread carefully and checking a few resources I went ahead with ONLY the dg2_gfx_fwupdate_SOC2.bin update, and it went through completely fine. I did also notice a significant increase in transcoding performance (as if I needed even more overhead lmao)

Firmware stuff is a bit scary so I get the caution around it but just to re-iterate if anyone else is confused: you can go ahead with only the files that match your specific card. If you have no matching oprom-data, oprom-code or fw-data, that simply means there is no update available for those for your card. Maybe a note about this should be included in the guide.

From what is being said here, and in the TechPowerUp forum, not all cards will require four files?  For instance, I have an Arc 580 (Battlemage G21).  So would I download the stable version from:

JUST:
BMG (B580/B570) Firmware column

I would go with the following:

Code:

/usr/bin/sudo ./igsc fw update --device /dev/mei1 --image bmg_g21_fwupdate_golden.bin
