    Me too!

    APU4D4 here, with modem, WLAN and GPS card.
    All is running fine after one extra upgrade (console)
    and a second reboot. Now all is fine running and
    also the packets are up to date.

          @jasonau Could I ask what site you downloaded the Coreboot firmware from?

          I tried https://pcengines.github.io/ but all the links are no longer working.

          Thanks.

            I am sorry I don´t know, because the links are not
            working, and I don´t know if this will be for a while
            or forever. I only own the "apu4_v4.19.0.1.zip" with
            ROM file, Signature and Hash inside, I was loading
            it up here, so if you are using APU4 (only) you may
            take it. If you use it, please don`t forget to do a cold
            boot with un powering the APU after the upgrade
            that not the old one (BIOS) will be in usage again.

            apu4_v4.19.0.1.zip

            You may use it on your own risk, I am using it since
            the release day, without any issues, because I want to
            install next month the TPM 2.0 module too, in my APU4.

                  @dobby_ Thanks, that's nice of you to upload it. Unfortunately I use an apu2e4. I was planning on installing version apu2_4.16.04, or possibly newer.

                    @jasonau Yes, all those links are dead. It sounds like they want to start charging for it.

                        @jasonau Thanks, that did the trick. 👍
                        Or maybe they fixed those dead links. Anyway, cheers!

                            Did you get it working? Iam using 23.05 RC and 2.7 now
                            and I only got informations that this will not working anymore and three "lines" for the /boot.loader.conf(.local).
                            But I also were never finding the led or blinkled pkg anymore in the repos too!

                                Thanks for that information then I could save the time for searching for an workaround, I was thinking perhaps I have overlooked something or was not able to find it right.
