Maxim Polyakov 7e45bb1a12 documentation: Update information about Kontron mAL10

1. The video output now works correctly with Intel IGD (tested with
   TianoCore, edk2-stable201903-3392-gf7fe27d686).
2. The kempld EC driver now supports GPIO configuration since
   commit 9941e5a5e6 (ec/kontron/kempld: Add minimal GPIO driver).
3. CorebootPayloadPkg is practically dead by now, so delete the comment
   about the problem with it.

Building coreboot

The following commands will build a working image:

make distclean
make defconfig KBUILD_DEFCONFIG=configs/config.kontron_mal10
make

Payloads

SeaBIOS
Tianocore
Linux as payload

Flashing coreboot

The SPI flash can be accessed internally using flashrom. The following command is used to flash BIOS region.

$ flashrom -p internal --ifd -i bios -w coreboot.rom --noverify-all

Hardware Monitor

The Nuvoton NCT7802Y is a hardware monitoring IC, capable of monitor critical system parameters including power supply voltages, fan speeds, and temperatures. The remote inputs can be connected to CPU/GPU thermal diode or any thermal diode sensors and thermistor.

6 temperature sensors;
5 voltage sensors;
3 fan speed sensors;
4 sets of temperature setting points.

PECI is not supported by Apollo Lake Pentium/Celeron/Atom processors and the CPU temperature value is taken from a thermal resistor (NTC) that is placed very close to the CPU.

Untested

IGD/LVDS
SDIO

Tested and working

Kontron CPLD/EC (Serial ports, I2C port, GPIOs)
NCT7802 [HWM](#Hardware Monitor)
USB2/3
Gigabit Ethernet ports
eMMC
SATA
PCIe ports
IGD/DP

TODO

Onboard audio (codec IDT 92HD73C1X5, currently disabled)
S3 suspend/resume
