+# Laboratory stand dedicated to MSI PRO B850 platforms assembly guide
+
+## Introduction
+
+This document describes platform-specific details for assembling an MSI PRO
+B 850 testing stand. Use this document as reference while going
+through [Generic Testing Stand
+Setup](../../unified-test-documentation/generic-testing-stand-setup.md)
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+The below table contains information about all elements which are needed to
+create the testing stand.
+
+* MSI PRO B850 platform
+* [RTE v1.1.0](https://shop.3mdeb.com/shop/open-source-hardware/open-source-hardware-3mdeb/rte/)
+* Sonoff S20 type E
+* 4x standard female-female connection wire 2.54 mm raster
+* 7x standard female-female connection wire 2.54/2.00 mm raster
+* 1x DB9 null modem cable
+* 1x IDC 9-pin to DB9 adapter
+
+## Connections
+
+The following sections describe how to enable all of the following features:
+
+* serial connection to the platform,
+* controlling power supply,
+* enabling basic power actions with the platform (power off/power on/reset),
+* external flashing with the RTE,
+* device power status readout.
+* enabling cmos clear
+
+### Serial connection
+
+1. Attach the jumpers in the RTE J16 header to enable RS232 DB9 connector:
+
+    | Jumper position (TX)      | Jumper position (RX)            |
+    |:-------------------------:|:-------------------------------:|
+    | RS232 + COM               | RS232 + COM                     |
+
+1. Connect the RTE RS232 DB9 connector to the platform JCOM1 header using
+    IDC to DB9 adapter and DB9 null modem cable.
+
+### Power supply controlling
+
+Connect SeaSonic FOCUS Plus Platinum to Sonoff.
+
+### Basic power operations enabling
+
+Connect the RTE J11 header to the platform JFP1 header as described in the
+table:
+
+| RTE            | MSI PRO B850                |
+|:--------------:|:---------------------------:|
+| J11 pin 9      | JFP1 pin 6 (PWR_ON)         |
+| J11 pin 8      | JFP1 pin 7 (RST)            |

+
+![msi_b850_lab_chip_power_connections](images/msi_b850_lab_chip_power_connections.jpg)
+
+### CMOS Clear enabling
+
+Connect the RTE J11 header to the platform JBAT1 header as described in the
+table:
+
+| RTE            | MSI PRO B850                    |
+|:--------------:|:-------------------------------:|
+| J11 pin 11  | JBAT1 pin 2(closer to JFP1)     |
+
+![msi_b850_cmos](images/msi_b850_cmos.jpg)
+
+### External flashing enabling
+
+#### Without discrete TPM
+
+Connect the RTE SPI header to the platform as described in the table:
+
+| RTE SPI header      | MSI PRO B850                                         |
+|:-------------------:|:----------------------------------------------------:|
+| J7 pin 1 (Vcc)      | JTPM1 pin 1 (SPI Power)                              |
+| J7 pin 2 (GND)      | JTPM1 pin 7 (GND)                                    |
+| J7 pin 3 (CS)       | JTPM1 pin 5 (RESERVED / BIOS SPI CS pin)             |
+| J7 pin 4 (SCLK)     | JTPM1 pin 6 (SPI Clock)                              |
+| J7 pin 5 (MISO)     | JTPM1 pin 3 (MISO)                                   |
+| J7 pin 6 (MOSI)     | JTPM1 pin 4 (MOSI)                                   |
+
+> Note: external access to the flash chip is possible only from the JTPM
+> header. JTPM1 is a 2mm pitch header, you will need 2mm to 2.54mm
+> female-female dupont wires to connect to RTE.

+
+### Complete Setup
+
+After preparing all of the connections also three activities should be
+performed to enable all of the test stand features:
+
+1. Connect Sonoff to the mains:
+
+    ![sonoff_connected](images/sonoff_connected.jpg)
+
+1. Connect the RTE to the Internet by using the Ethernet cable.
+1. Connect the RTE to the mains by using the microUSB 5 V/2 A power supply.
+
+Complete setup should looks as follows:
+
+![msi_b850_lab_complete](images/msi_b850_lab_complete.jpg)
+
+## Theory of operation
+
+The following sections describe how to use all of the enabled features:
+
+* serial connection to the platform,
+* controlling power supply,
+* enabling basic power actions with the platform (power off/power on/reset),
+* external flashing with the RTE,
+* device power status readout.
+* enabling Cmos clear
+
+### Serial connection
+
+The method of setting and using serial connection is described in the
+[Serial connection guide](../../transparent-validation/rte/v1.1.0/serial-port-connection-guide.md).
+
+### Basic power operations
+
+Basic power operations should be performed based on the `rte_ctrl` script
+implemented in `meta-rte` (OS image dedicated to the RTE platform). To perform
+basic power operations use the below-described commands:
+
+1. Turn on the platform:
+
+    ```bash
+    rte_ctrl pon
+    ```
+
+1. Turn off the platform:
+
+    ```bash
+    rte_ctrl poff
+    ```
+
+1. Reset the platform:
+
+    ```bash
+    rte_ctrl reset
+    ```
+
+> Note, that in order for the above commands to work properly, the platform
+should be powered up: both Sonoff and the power supply must be turned on.
+
+### External flashing
+
+The external flashing procedure should be performed based on the scripts
+implemented on the RTE platform. To perform the flashing operation, reproduce
+the steps described below:
+
+> Note: the `flash.sh` script, used in this chapter, is available only in 0.8.0
+> or newer RTE OS releases, check [meta-rte](https://github.com/3mdeb/meta-rte)
+> for more inf..
+
+1. By using `scp` put the requested Dasharo file to the RTE:
+
+    ```bash
+    scp <path_to_firmware>/<firmware_file> root@<RTE_IP>:/tmp/coreboot.rom
+    ```
+
+    Where:
+
+    - `path_to_firmware` - path to firmware, which should send to RTE,
+    - `firmware_file` - the name of the firmware file, which should be sent
+        to RTE,
+    - `RTE_IP` - IP address of the connected RTE.
+
+1. Login to RTE via `ssh` or `minicom`.
+1. Read the flash chip by executing the following command on RTE:
+
+    ```bash
+    ./flash.sh read tmp/dump.rom
+    ```
+
+1. If the reading was successful, the output from the command above should
+    contain the phrase `Verifying flash... VERIFIED`.
+1. Write the flash chip by executing the following command on RTE:
+
+    ```bash
+    ./flash.sh write /tmp/coreboot.rom
+    ```
+
+    > Do not interrupt the flashing procedure in any way (especially by
+    changing connections). It may cause hardware damage!
+
+1. If the reading was successful, the output from the command above should
+    contain the phrase `Verifying flash... VERIFIED`.
+
+### Device power status readout
+
+To read the current power status use the following command:
+
+```bash
+cat /sys/class/gpio/gpio12/value
+```
+
+Example output:
+
+* `1` means that the platform is turned on.
+* `0` means that the platform is turned off.
+
+### CMOS clear
+
+To clear the CMOS, turn off the power with Sonoff or relay and use the
+following commands:
+
+```bash
+echo 1 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio412/value
+sleep 10
+echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio412/value
+```
