Hi guys

 

I am trying to install coreboot on the following device:

- Qotom Q355G4
- Intel Core I5 5200U Broadwell SOC Processor
- https://www.aliexpress.com/item/QOTOM-Q355G4-2017-New-fanless-X86-4-LAN-Micro-Computer-I5-5250U-Dual-core-onboard-1080P/32800711474.html

 

I am currently wondering if coreboot would work on this? Based on my research I would think so, but I am a bit unsure how to proceed from here and are asking for help here.

 

I have found the following:
- Documentation Intel Firmware Support Package for the 5th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-5350U Processor Evaluation Kit Based on Intel®https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/guides/5th-gen-core-i5-5350u-eval-kit-fsp-user-guide.pdf
This board (white tip version 1) seems pretty similar to the board I have.

 

- build coreboot with FSP https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4842-0070-4_4
Good documentation on how to install coreboot on an intel SOC board with FSP.

 

- FSP package for intel chips https://github.com/IntelFsp/FSP
FSP seams to be required and support for Broadwell-U SOC

 

- coreboot FSP 1.1 integration guide https://www.coreboot.org/git-docs/Intel/fsp1_1.html

not sure if this documentation is still up2date and required for intel whitetip

so I have downloaded and compiled coreboot with Intel WhiteTip v2, assuming that this actually is a compatible board, but I am not sure. 

 

I can see the broadwell source files in the source tree so it seems supported.

Can you guys point me to 
a) wheather this board is supported?
b) which board to pick in the menuconfig?
c) is FSP required and what should be the most appropriate way to include into the ROM?

 

I am not worried in giving the flash a try since I already read, stripped ME and reflashed the BIOS using SPI via an raspberry pi. So I should be able to recover into a safe state.

Many thanks for your help

cheers
