Hi Mayuri

I have the same question with braswell coreboot that the source code is got
from intel.
Intel source code don't implement smbios type 17.
but  you can get dimm information in HOB that is created in FSB image.
If you use coreboot4.4 for your bay trail platform. I think the type 17 is
created.

Thank you
