Hello,
I'm trying to check the potential compatibility of the s1200kp intel server board. [1] It's mini-itx and supports ECC ram, making it attractive for use in a NAS device. (cases with multiple hotswap bays and room for an itx board abound, but few itx boards have ECC capability)
The chipset is listed as the C206, which is part of cougar point. The socket is FCLGA1155 and I've seen the board with an i3-3220 (3rd gen ivy bridge).
However, I'm having a really hard time finding information on whether coreboot supports the chipset. (never mind the superio etc)
It seems the compatibility list [2] on the wiki is out of date (and slated for retirement) and the docs at [3] are still mostly incomplete. From grepping through the source and the coreboot blog [4] there's been a port (in coreboot 4.2) to at least one other cougar point platform. (apple/macbookair4_2) The blog post also mentions that support for ivy bridge and cougar point come from an FSP binary. There is also a coreboot blog entry linking to the following article [5] discussing support for these chips being merged.
This lack of accessible documentation makes it difficult to find good porting candidates for hardware of *any* generation. Are all ivy bridge CPUs supported? Does the FSP binary support all cougar point chipsets?
Sincerely, -Matt
