For the KGPE-D16, an integration effort was made in Heads to support such board.
https://github.com/osresearch/heads/issues/134
* OpenBMC support merged into coreboot so the server can boot * Flashrom support to flash OpenBMC directly from within Heads * Flashrom support to reflash Heads internally * Multiboot support, QubesOS support
Thanks Timothy for all the great work that was accomplished on that board in the past years.
TPM2 integration is still missing though. Don't hesitate to collaborate onto heads to integrate VBOOT changes. 16Mb of SPI flash is more then enough to support it.
Talos II cannot actually fulfill most of the threat models that the KGPE-D16 can with Heads + QubesOS combined.
That is why i'm interested in the legal implications and limitations of selling such systems with replaced firmwares. That and the deactivation/suppression of ME/PSP blobs.
Couple of interesting hints given here legally. Thanks a bunch. Will have official legal advices in the next coming days. Will share them back.

There's no "pure coreboot" systems. You need some payload.
Also, while Talos is truly awesome, the OP asked about coreboot specifically and Talos doesn't run coreboot :)
At the moment, the best coreboot-supported server motherboard is ASUS KGPE-D16. You can also get libre BMC with OpenBMC port for it.
If you just want a libre motherboard, Talos is the best you can get.

Hi,
does anyone have a list of server systems which are shipped with coreboot? I'm interested in coreboot+UEFI systems, coreboot+Linux systems, coreboot+SeaBIOS systems, pure coreboot systems.
At 34C3 I was told by someone that a major vendor has been shipping servers with coreboot without announcing this, and I unfortunately neither remember the server model nor who told me about this. If said person could remind contact me, I'd be thankful.
Regards, Carl-Daniel

Hi friend ! I just googled "coreboot servers" and found this:
https://store.vikings.net/the-server-1u , and https://www.siliconmechanics.com/i7045/opteron-server.php (Installation of coreboot is available with certain configurations; contact Sales for details.)
And, of course, Talos II POWER9 servers which are already available for pre-orders. They are the future of libre server computing : https://www.raptorcs.com/TALOSII/prerelease.php
So basically there are two options:
- use one of a few coreboot-supported boards with AMD Opterons (which
are also a bit outdated) you can even build such a server by yourself, just get the supported hardware and flash coreboot to it 2) preorder Talos II and wait for shiny new server to come ;)
