Support for AMD family f17h in coreboot

[Аладышев Константин]

Hello!

Is there any plans to support AMD family f17h processors in coreboot any
time soon? Or it can be possible only if AMD will decide to provide AGESA
code for this new cpu family and nobody here knows what will AMD do?

Does AMD still support coreboot in any way?  What are chances that f17h
processors will be supported by coreboot?

Yeah, AMD's ME ("PSP") means that it isn't owner controlled and you need 
their permission to modify the firmware.
Anyway it doesn't matter, if they continue to support coreboot they will 
probably do it like intel where the hardware init is done via a binary 
blob and coreboot is simply a wrapper layer providing no real security 
benefits.
If you want owner controlled performance POWER is the only choice if the 
older owner controlled AMD opteron stuff is not good enough.

Unfortunately no.
You could call and politely request they do and make sure it gets noted 
down.

It is a damn shame they closed AGESA, circa 2011 AMD was a cool company 
in regards to coreboot/open source - they provided documentation, code 
and hardware.
