AMD Motherboard Firmwares X570, B550, and A520 motherboards for Ryzen 5000 compatibility
In the news item below, you can find all matching BIOSes. And yeah, AMD has announced Ryzen 5000, and with it, the motherboard partners are prepping the Series 400 (later) and 500 chipsets. If you want to get your mobo supported, a firmware update is mandatory.
AMD Ryzen 5000 procs will be available on November 5, so you have some time to update. MSI and ASUS have been first with bios updates Agesa 1.1.0.x, the latest version of which AMD made the first version available at the end of September. It involves X570, B550, but we're also seeing A520 updates now.
Updates for motherboards with a 400 chipset look to be on the way; the first beta versions should be made available in January. MSI is the first manufacturer to offer BIOS updates with AGESA Combo-AM4 v2 1.1.0.0, Asus, ASRock, Biostar, Gigabyte, and MSI already have BIOS versions with AGESA Combo-AM4 v2 1.0.8.1. Our always friendly colleagues from Computerbase compiled a nice long overview of motherboards and firmware, shown below.

Ok . As an X470 user, I will have to wait for January 2021 then.
Anyone knows whether that would include Ryzen 2xxx series support or not? (On x470 ofcourse). Or would it be discarded to make room for Ryzen 5000 supports?
Last I heard I think that was the rumor so I don't think anyone really knows yet until they release more details. Personally I'm just gonna leave my board as it sits, I really don't wanna go higher than a 3700X.

I think it depends. You had UEFI roms on some boards insanely large, like 64MB+ so I think it's possible. How much effort do the board partners want to put into it? Will they approach this as a "per project basis" or just scrap the previous product line for time and efficiency's sake? MSI comes to mind as less customer-focused. Other more customer-centric brands may not mind investing the extra time. Pardon me if I've missed it, but there hasn't been a clear-cut answer from AMD. So the alternative option would be AMD releases AGESA for 5000 that isolates Zen+ somehow (I stress somehow). I'd find that unusual and harder to implement than not. Although somethings are not backwards compatible and could require this at times so I have to really take my hat off to AMD what they do isn't easy, maintaining active layers of backwards compatibility.

This is interesting. Are there any B or X4 series MB that supports PCIE 4.0 with good VRMs? I am OK to buy the last gen MB without the "Intel" MB tax...
We need to wait for the CPU prices to settle down... its just crazy right now with speculation prices. I hope AMD can clamp down on their distributors to get the prices right, outside of the USA.

B550 do (not from chipset), older than 500 series and A520 do not.
