Dear coreboot folks,
Intel has started to submit change sets adding support for the new chipset Intel Kaby Lake [1].
Kaby Lake is Intel's codename for the upcoming 14 nanometer successor to the Skylake microarchitecture. Kaby Lake began shipping to manufacturers and OEMs in the second quarter of 2016, though volume production for the retail channel is anticipated late-2016.
Skylake was to be succeeded by the 10 nanometer Cannonlake, but it was announced on July 16, 2015, that Cannonlake has been delayed until the second half of 2017.
As it’s very similar to Intel Skylake, the goal is to adapt the Intel Skylake code, so that it supports both chipsets. [2][3]
Thanks,
Paul
