ATOM processor E3845

Hello All ,

We are wondering if coreboot supports the ATOM processor E3845

If it does please send us the information required for us to work on it for
one of our motherboard.

Best Regards,

As someone who has ported Coreboot onto a custom E3845 board I can definitively say yes it does. But you will need to reference the Coreboot documentation pages on how to do so.

I also strongly recommend searching the Coreboot mailing list archives and joining Intel's embedded forums. The latter you will need to use to get support as to why your hardware isn't booting because Intel's manual for that processor is really bad in parts. You will also need an NDA with Intel in order to get the TXE package with the tools to create the proper boot image. Yes, there are workarounds but it's easier with the real thing. Not sure if the FSP is covered by NDA or not, but you will need it too.

E3845 is a Baytrail, there is support for it, not sure if that is in working state in coreboot,
Google's Rambi is based on Baytrail SoC. You could use that as base and give it a try.

Hi Benjamin,
  Yes, coreboot does support the E3845 via the Intel FSP.  Among other
boards, it's used in the Minnowboard turbot, which is supported in
src/mainboards/intel/minnowmax

Information about the Baytrail FSP can be found here:
https://github.com/IntelFsp/FSP/blob/BayTrail/BayTrailFspBinPkg/Docs/BayTrai...

The Embedded Firmware Solutions book
https://www.apress.com/us/book/9781484200711 might also be helpful to you.

Finally, if you're just getting into coreboot, you might be interested in
hiring someone to help guide you or to do the port for you:
