hi Brian,

coreboot support is extremely hardware specific by nature, so there
are no generic platform targets (other than the emulation ones).

In order to use coreboot on your board, you'd first need to ensure
that Bootguard (or similar signature checking schemes) are not being
used, which would prevent loading unsigned firmware. Then you'd need
to dump the hardware config of the device in order to build a board
profile (devicetree, GPIO assignments, etc).

cbfstool isn't going to recognize a dump of your vendor firmware as it
doesn't contain a CBFS (coreboot filesystem). You'll need to use other
tools if you need to dump/extract bits from the vendor firmware,
though that's not always necessary, given that FSP does most of the
heavy lifting and is included as part of the build process for (most)
platforms that use it

cheers,
Matt
