Category set to board support Assignee set to Angel Pons Affected hardware set to T440p and other
Already being worked on, refer to https://review.coreboot.org/q/topic:haswell-nri
Great to see active work on this. Lets hope it get merged soon. There are many great features planed like for example: "One of my future plans (automatic RAM overclocking) would try the highest possible frequency and, if training cannot succeed, slow down the MPLL to the next available frequency."
---------------------------------------- Feature #461: Replacing Haswell mrc.bin blob with free software https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/461#change-1851
* Author: akjuxr3 akjuxr3 * Status: New * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Angel Pons * Category: board support * Target version: none * Start date: 2023-02-16 * Related links: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/52659 * Affected hardware: T440p and other ---------------------------------------- Currently in case of the ability to run as less amount of closed source software as possible and still have Microcode updates the reduced Intel ME with disabled bit in IFD and the lga1155 or the mobile versions of those cpus are the only option for x86_64 out there. The next cpu generation (Haswell) inside for example T440p and W541 require the binary blob mrc.bin
Are there any plans of replacing the Haswell mrc.bin with free software? Or have the x86_64 platform be given up when the goal is to run just free software and the people should move to aarch64 or risc-v?
