I don't know enough about Intel to tell you whether your board is using BootGuard or how you would find that out, though. If it does, you're probably out of luck. (If it doesn't, it's true that you still need blobs... but you can usually extract these from your vendor firmware and work them into a coreboot image.)
BootGuard would be a showstopper if it is supported by Braswell (I have no idea) and Acer enabled it (unlikely).
I'm still waiting for intel guys ,I think that they can say more about this.
On Braswell you'll need blobs (of course). You need ME (Management Engine) and FSP (firmware support package) blobs.
Usually you only need the latter which would be integrated into coreboot and is freely available (see intel.com/fsp). You should be able to re- use the other blobs that are already installed into your device (they coexists with coreboot and don't have to be touched when installing coreboot).

I am not sure if you can legally obtain the blobs from Intel, but you can extract them from Chrome images.
