Intel Working On Coreboot Support For Xeon 6 Platforms


Intel announced earlier this week ahead of the OCP Global Summit that they have partnered with the 9elements consulting firm for getting Coreboot up and running on Intel Xeon 6 'Granite Rapids' platforms.

Before getting too excited though, the Intel Firmware Support Package (FSP) as a binary element is still required as part of the open-source Coreboot stack. Back when I was in Oregon last month for Intel's Enterprise Tech Tour in speaking with executives then, they commented they continue to see much interest in open-source at the firmware level among the major organizations. AMD as well for their part also is actively engaging in Coreboot support as well as their exciting openSIL effort for open-source CPU silicon initialization.
