This table is more about letting ME know how to write to the specific chip. see https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner/issues/80 > IMHO, the worst thing you can do is to assume that it will work on the > first try.

I found the easiest way to do it was to use the stock factory rom, modify that with IFDtool and then use the newly modified IFD to build coreboot (while specifying new CBFS size inside of coreboot menuconfig) I did this exact thing while porting heads to a new motherboard, as the 4mb SPI was too small. Heres the steps, and they work. https://github.com/osresearch/heads/issues/547#issuecomment-485887948 Step2 is optional and makes no difference to coreboot functionality. As noted above, its purely for ME.
