For the Harcuvar CRB there is no such configuration.

This conf. is available to other mainboards (e.g. Intel "Little Plains" mainboard:
menu "Chipset"->"Intel Firmware"->"Add Intel descriptor.bin file"->"Add Intel
ME/TXE firmware"->"Path to management engine firmware").

Maybe for the Harcuvar CRB the Intel ME FW is installed in the second
SPI flash, therefore there is no need to add the ME blob in the coreboot
build? I´m not sure about this, some board maintainer can confirm
this?
No it’s in the same flash. Basically your first idea is what I am doing:
replace the BIOS region of the SPI flash (0x00800000–0x00ffffff)
Or use intel fitc tool to build the final SPI image.


Do we have any documentation regarding the coreboot port for Harcuvar?
Do you have access to intel support ? If yes there should be a document, but
I’m not even sure it has been updated when the support was upstreamed.

Hope this helps,

I'm not sure what the question is. 

When configuring CB with menuconfig you have to select your platform
and type in the path to your ME-binary-blob. The later has to be
provided by you; meaning you have to extract the BIOS from the flash,
extract the ME-binary using coreboot/utils, clean it with ME-cleaner
(optional) and then build coreboot with your blob.

The toolchain takes care automatically about the correct placement of
the ME in the right address-ranges.

I hope this was helpful.
