(I do not believe it does, but wait for a more experienced person to reply.)
Information for you as a new member of the community: The past 5 years intel (and AMD FM2/AM4) platforms are generally pretty locked down, it is very difficult to install blob free or even semi-open firmware replacement on them even if you could somehow get the documentation. (which they will never give a mere mortal like us) and the newer intel systems have something called "Boot Guard" which is a CPU enforced code signing mechanism to prohibit the installation of open source firmware entirely. You shouldn't buy intel if you want anything even somewhat libre friendly (at least AMD gives lip service to foss) https://www.coreboot.org/Binary_situation https://libreboot.org/ (more info on foss compat here, just ignore the politics)
Anyone who says they have a post 775/771 system that is 100% blob free open source is lying, that includes the purism scammers. At this point for new systems you have select ARM and OpenPOWER systems (like the Raptor TALOS and the Tyan Palmetto, both HPC workstations/servers) I believe there are a few 100% FOSS laptops out there that aren't listed on the coreboot site but my age betrays me and I am forgetting what they are called. (I say again purism is a scam, do not buy from them.) On 10/31/2016 06:30 PM, Vasiliy Tolstov wrote:
Hi, I have acer es1-131 that as I see like some Google Chromebooks, it motherboard based on intel braswell, and as I found support for this soc added by intel. Does current coreboot master support my motherboard and laptop?
In wiki I can't find many braswell supported platforms and acer in vendor of laptop too (only Chromebooks).

All Chromebooks based on Nvidia and Rockchip SoCs are 100% FOSS as far as firmware goes (graphics acceleration is a different story, but you can run them with software rendering). (Mediatek Chromebooks are 99.9% FOSS, they just have a tiny power management controller with openly available binary firmware.)
As for OP's question, coreboot can not just support a random motherboard out of the box, you will always need code for it. You might be able to write it yourself if you know (or are willing to figure out) enough about how it's laid out. The existing Braswell code will certainly provide you a good stepping stone... board support is usually a tiny amount of work compared to SoC support.
I don't know enough about Intel to tell you whether your board is using BootGuard or how you would find that out, though. If it does, you're probably out of luck. (If it doesn't, it's true that you still need blobs... but you can usually extract these from your vendor firmware and work them into a coreboot image.)
