Open-Source Coreboot Port Working On A Retail Intel Alder Lake MSI Motherboard

[davidhendricks]

I'd love to have CoreBoot in a modern low-power server board (Xeon D or such).

coreboot works well on Xeon-D and is maintained on the 4.11 branch: https://review.coreboot.org/plugins/...ds/4.11_branch

Intel Camelback Mountain is the reference board: https://review.coreboot.org/plugins/...kmountain_fsp/

The OCP (Open Compute Project) Mono Lake and Wedge100S targets are based on it and add a few features such as TXT and measured boot: https://review.coreboot.org/plugins/...mainboard/ocp/

Starlabs announced 2 AMD computers with coreboot. Release date was not announced.
Hopefully this is a trend, more coreboot in modern hardware.

For me, mainboards with smaller form-factors and ECC RAM support are more interesting.

Still I would support this!

But are these boards actually obtainable by the general public at reasonable prices (comparable to random AsrockRack or Supermicro boards)? Or are they in the "contact us for a quote" category and pricing ("if you have to ask, then you can't afford it")?

The Xeon-D based OCP boards that I mentioned are generally geared at large companies that purchase them by the rack, as well as top-of-rack switches.

For something a bit more "off-the-shelf", you might look toward the Supermicro X11SSH boards that 9elements has been working on:
