# Dasharo APU Configuration | ||
|
||
The Dasharo APU Configuration menu is an exclusive menu for PC Engines apu | ||
platforms. This menu is intended to provide equivalent runtime configuration | ||
capabilities as [PC Engines sortbootorder](https://github.com/pcengines/sortbootorder). | ||
|
||
> Not all sortbootorder options may be currently available. They may be added | ||
> in the future. | ||
## Dasharo APU Configuration menu options | ||
|
||
When entering the `Dasharo APU Configuration` menu, one may see the | ||
following options to appear: | ||
|
||
![](/images/menus/apu_config.jpeg){ class="center" } | ||
|
||
### Core Performance Boost | ||
|
||
This option enables AMD Core Performance Boost (aka CPU Turbo). When enabled | ||
firmware will make 2 additional boosted P-states available. Core Performance | ||
Boost is able to raise a single core frequency from 1000MHz up to 1400MHz if | ||
other cores are pretty much inactive. | ||
|
||
Disable this option if you notice system unstabilities. | ||
|
||
### Watchdog | ||
|
||
`Enable watchdog` option controls whether the AMD FCH watchdog will be enabled | ||
during boot. When selected, the `Watchdog timeout value` will appear, where | ||
one can specify the watchdog expiration timeout in seconds. | ||
|
||
The watchdog is useful when a platform hangs and needs to be reset | ||
automatically, which will happen if watchdog timer expires. Minimum timeout is | ||
60s to let the OS take control over the watchdog (e.g. sp5100_tco watchdog | ||
driver for Linux) and keep reloading it to avoid resets. | ||
|
||
### PCI Express power management features | ||
|
||
When enabled, the firmware will attempt to enable Clock Power Management, ASPM | ||
L0s and L1 on PCI Express ports. Enabling these options may result in [PCI | ||
Express device performance | ||
reduction](https://github.com/pcengines/coreboot/issues/387) at the cost of | ||
better power savings. |
