How does coreboot support AMD X3421 (Carrizo)?

[Lenny]

Dear Madam or Sir,
        coreboot is so great!
        I have a HP MicroServer Gen10 with AMD Opteron X3421 (Carrizo) and 16GB ECC memory.
        Will coreboot work well with my hardware platform? Can I update to coreboot with AFUWIN?
        Many thanks!

Sincerely,
Lenny

Hi Lenny,

There is a support for Carrizo processor using CarrizoPI AGESA blob. If
I am not mistaken the CPUID of this processor will be 660F01, so related
southbridge and northbridge support is there under
src/nortbridge/amd/pi/00660F01
and src/soutbridge/amd/pi/00660F01. But what I am concerned about is
that Opteron is a server processor, while the AGESA in coreboot was
designed to work with mobile processor lines (Merlin Falcon - Embedded
R-series). I think the hardware initialization will lack certain things
for server SKU.

AFUWIN will probably expect some AMI format of the BIOS image, so I
suspect it may not work.

Sincerely,
