USB4 host controller for motherboards or USB hubs - ASMEDIA ASM4242 firmwares

_

Hi,

I found an alternative firmware (version 4402) on this page: [url] rog.asus.com/fr/laptops/rog-strix/rog-strix-scar-17-2023-series/helpdesk_download/ [/url] (take a look at “ASMedia USB3.2 Firmware update tool Version 2006_1E”) regarding of this firmware (v1001): [url] www.station-drivers.com/index.php/en-us/component/remository/Drivers/Asmedia/ASM-1x4x-2x4x-314x2-3242-4242--...--and--107x-2074-USB-3.x--and--USB-4.x-Controllers/Firmwares/ASM-4242-USB-4-Controller/Asmedia-ASM-4242-(USB-4.0)-Firmware-Version-NC/lang,en-us/ [/url]

About the version this newspaper suggests that it is possible that this firmware activate the USB4 support: [url] www.pcwelt.de/article/1990494/usb-c-typische-probleme-loesungen.html [/url]

The ROM file has the same name “ASMXu424FW.rom” as this firmware: [url] www.station-drivers.com/index.php/en-us/component/remository/Drivers/Asmedia/ASM-1x4x-2x4x-314x2-3242-4242--...--and--107x-2074-USB-3.x--and--USB-4.x-Controllers/Firmwares/ASM-4242-USB-4-Controller/Asmedia-ASM-4242-(USB-4.0)-Firmware-Version-NC/lang,en-us/ [/url]

But if I compare these two files these are different.

Please find in a ZIP file the extracted files from Windows TEMP directory when I launch the update firmware EXE file: [url] share.galixte.com/index.php/s/dqBSJTFXz5xS74y [/url]
