You may have a problem there. The 4300U is only sold as part of integrated systems (tiny computers, laptops) and while it *should* support ECC, it depends on motherboard support as well. I suspect there aren't any of those being sold. I have been told that all of ASRock's Ryzen motherboards can use ECC, and they have some mini-ITX motherboards. That might be your best bet. The low-end of Ryzen APUs is the Athlon 200GE, 2 cores / 4 threads. The current socketed high end is the Ryzen 5 3400G, 4 cores / 8 threads. > Hoping to get it completely fanless, or at most a large case fan :) A single case fan ought to be quite doable, as long as it is blowing over a decent heatsink/radiator on the CPU. -dsr-

Feature support of the hardware decoders (e.g. the various profiles of H.264) varies widely, I'd rather not rely on it, especially as I have been bitten by this recently. https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/HWAccelIntro I'm looking into building a NAS (min. 2 x 3,5" HDDs) / HTPC (4K and TOSLINK output), preferably based on the Ryzen 3 4300U, and with ECC RAM. Hoping to get it completely fanless, or at most a large case fan :) Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Probably, but it has a GPU built in which works perfectly well with the AMDGPU driver. -dsr-

Good news! Another story: Currently i am considering chromebook amd ryzen -- i heard that from google news it may be rumor [Google Zork]. So still i don't know for exact spec. Thogh i like that future chromebook! Always i think chromebook is real linux machine! Sincerely, Linux fan Byung-Hee -- ^고맙습니다 _和合團結_ 감사합니다_^))//

For the completeness of this list: The ZOTAC ZBOX CA621 Nano, based on AMD Ryzen 3 3200U, works, including GPU, with Debian stable but kernel 5.7.0-1-amd64 and firmwares from testing.

Hi Nicolas, to be sure that you won't have problems with the mainboard and different controllers on it I would recommend you to test with live distribution on USB flash drive if this is possible.

At this point, people should stop asking "Is this Ryzen going to work with Debian" unless it has been introduced within the last 6 months. The worst case scenario is that you will need a backport kernel or amdgpu driver. The 3200U is now 18 months old. -dsr-
Support for AMD Ryzen 3 3200U
Hi. I need to buy a new computer. I am considering one based on the AMD Ryzen 3 3200U, more precisely the ZOTAC ZBOX CA621 Nano. From what I read on the web, it seems I would be able to get it working with Debian Testing. Can somebody confirm firsthand, for this processor or even better for this specific computer?
