[coreboot] Kaby Lake FSP

[Desimone, Nathaniel L]

Hi Youness,

In general yes, Intel does plan to continue developing of FSP for future platforms. We will make a good faith effort to keep the publically posted FSP binary freshly updated. I would like to caution that as a platform ages, our internal development shifts to newer ones. Accordingly, I would expect the frequency of FSP releases to lengthen as a platform ages.

Thanks,
Nate

Hi Nate,

Thanks a lot for listening to our request and taking care of this! I'm happy to see the binaries finally updated and the FSP headers in coreboot having a matching publicly available binary to use.
You've only mentioned Kabylake in your email, is it safe to assume that you'll use these same practices for future platforms as well ?

Thanks,
Youness.

There was some prior discussion here regarding the lack of public updates for Kaby Lake FSP binaries and headers and questions regarding specialized FSP binaries being built for specific boards. I would like to clear up some of these questions and concerns. We just pushed all of the recently released versions of Kaby Lake FSP (3.1.0 through 3.6.0) to https://github.com/IntelFsp/FSP/tree/Kabylake. While there might appear to be forks of Kaby Lake FSP, they are actually just snapshots at different points in time. For example, there is one commit labelled as "Gold release for Kaby Lake FSP" that appears to be special fork for IoT devices... this commit is actually just Kaby Lake FSP Release 2.6.0 without any IoT specific modifications. Apologies for the confusing commit messages and for the temporary lapse in updates.
