# Supermicro X11SSH-TF
This section details how to run coreboot on the [Supermicro X11SSH-TF].
## Required proprietary blobs
* [Intel FSP2.0]
* Intel ME
## Flashing coreboot
The board can be flashed externally using *some* programmers.
The CH341 was found working, while Dediprog won't detect the chip.
For more details have a look at the [flashing tutorial].
The flash IC can be found between the two PCIe slots near the southbridge:
mb/supermicro: restructure x11ssh-tf to represent a x11 board series Most of the X11 boards with socket LGA1151 are basically the same boards with just some minor differences like different NICs (1 GbE, 10 GbE), number of NICs / PCIe ports etc. There are about 20 boards that can be added, if there is a community for testing. To be able to add more x11 boards easily like x11ssm (see CB:35427) this restructures the x11ssh tree to represent a "X11 LGA1151 series". There were multiple suggestions for the structure like grouping by series (x10, x11, x...), grouping by chipset or by cpu family. It turned out that there are some "X11 series" boards that are completely different. Grouping by chipset or cpu family suffers from the same problem. This is why finally we agreed on grouping by series and socket ("X11 LGA1151 series"). The structure uses the common baseboard scheme, while there is no "real" baseboard we know of. By checking images, comparing logs etc. we came to the conclusion that Supermicro does have some base layout which is only modified a bit for the different boards. X11SSH-TF was moved to the variants/ folder with it's gpio.h. As we expect the other boards to have mostly the same device tree, there is a common devicetree that gets overridden by each variant's overridetree. Besides that some very minor modifications happened (formatting, fixing comments, ...) but not much.

## BMC (IPMI)
This board has an ASPEED [AST2400], which has BMC functionality. The
BMC firmware resides in a 32 MiB SOIC-16 chip in the corner of the
mainboard near the [AST2400]. This chip is an [MX25L25635F].
## Known issues
- Intel SGX causes secondary APs to crash (disabled for now).
- Tianocore doesn't work with Aspeed NGI, as it's text mode only.
