Hello,
I got a daughter-card (DC) based on the Intel's Camelback Mountain CRB. Coreboot won't boot when a DC is populated with a 16-core Xeon D-1577 processor. Nothing is printed in the boot process, so it doesn't seem to be getting very far. However, if i load/program the boot SPI with AMI BIOS instead of coreboot, then everything is hunky-dory. It boots up all the way into linux (see below for the platform information when AMI is loaded). In addition, if DC is populated with a 4-core D-1527 or 2-core D-1508 then coreboot has no issues (see below for info).
Is there any configuration that i need to change in coreboot to support the D-1577?
thanks!
