As tim said the KGPE-D16 and KCMA-D8 have a fully open source libre init 
process on coreboot and support the libre OpenBMC for the AST BMC chip

There aren't any other coreboot boards that support a BMC, and the only 
other device that has both fully open source firmware/init and an open 
source BMC off the shelf is the TALOS 2.

Coreboot itself couldn't be ran on a BMC chip, well I suppose one could 
port it but there really wouldn't be a point to that as that isn't what 
it was designed for.

PS welcome to the list :D

Thanks for the information.

As I understand correctly, the main support is for x86 only. So if we want to run coreboot as the only firmware, we have to do it our self.

Thanks,
