<div dir="ltr">Hi Mario, Cameron, coreboot folks,<br><br>Thank you all so much for the help!!

I previously used the wrong bootloader image to try and extract the VBIOS with the UEFItool (tried using Intel's precompiled coreboot image with UEFI payload, named "coreboot.release.SPI.Bx.Win.bin", which does not contain any VBIOS image, for some reason). It does work when I extract it from Intel's UEFI image, named "APLI_IFWI_X64_R_113_40E_SPI.bin".<div><br></div><div>On my build, it was not necessary to manually update the CBFS locations for SeaBIOS. </div><div><br></div><div>But it was necessary to update the MMIO mapping for debug UART output.

I have all the blobs around coreboot, except the VBIOS... I have tried all the options in <a href="https://www.coreboot.org/VGA_support" target="_blank">https://www.coreboot.org/<wbr>VGA_support</a>, but I suspect the reference bootloader images provided by Intel
does not use a VBIOS file. I also cannot find a suitable VBIOS on Intel's website. (By the way, thanks for the FIT decomposition tip, I did not know this was possible... I took great pains to find the correct blobs on Intel's website, would have been much

Hi Cameron,<br>
<br>
> Did you modify the FSP blobs at all?<br>
Yes, we made some adjustments for our mainboard (mc_apl1).<br>
But they shouldn’t play a decisive role (power states, PCIe settings).<br>
<br>

Then you will get pretty far.<br>
We are currently still using the MR2 FSP package for APL-I.<br>
As IFWI template we use the BIOS version v178.10 for the CRBs.<br>
These components are provided by Intel.<br>
That’s it. The CRB should boot with this combination.<br>
