Hi everyone, I have a motherboard (Supermicro X10SL7-F) that appears to be very similar to the supported board X10SLM+-F I would like comment on whether anyone thinks running coreboot on this board would be possible! And if so what work would need to be done to make it a reality.
1. Board description:
Vendor: Supermicro Board name: X10SL7-F CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1231 v3 (Haswell) Northbridge: ? Southbridge: Intel C222 Express PCH This board also contains a built-in LSI 2308 disk controller providing 8 SAS2 ports

You can enforce write support with the ich_spi_force programmer option, but you will most likely harm your hardware! If you force flashrom you will get no support if something breaks.
