VK-T40E ASSERTION FAILED: file 'src/vendorcode/amd/agesa/f14/Proc/Mem/Feat/EXCLUDIMM/mfdimmexclud.c', line 185

I have many of these in use and this particular unit died with this error. The error appears immediately on the console on power:

PC Engines APU BIOS build date: Apr 5 2014
ASSERTION FAILED: file 'src/vendorcode/amd/agesa/f14/Proc/Mem/Feat/EXCLUDIMM/mfdimmexclud.c', line 185

I have tried different mPCIe card, but I don't think it's that since this looks like a POST failure. Any ideas on how to revive this unit?

Thx

I haven't heard of that happening before, and the coreboot source isn't terribly clear either:

https://github.com/coreboot/coreboot/blob/master/src/vendorcode/amd/agesa/f14/Proc/Mem/Feat/EXCLUDIMM/mfdimmexclud.c#L185

That said, given where it's at, I'd guess that it's failing due to a hardware problem with the memory.

This sucks. I've had 40% (4 of 10) of my VK-T40E's fail so far. My friend's SG-2220 just died too. All of the sub $1K hardware seems to have a low MTBF.
