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
