You do not know which solution is worse: FSP 1.1, or FSP 2.0?! FSP 1,1 is useless (since many problems in IOTG PED group), and FSP 2.0 is getting more complicated (due to INTEL internal job security protection). It is on your own peril, folks. I should say, at least FSP 2.0 is easier to crack

I thought FSP 1.1 was for skylake and FSP 2.0 for Kabylake, I didn't realize 2.0 would be compatible with skylake too. Does this mean a skylake port could use fsp 1.1 or 2.0 ? In that case, is the 2.0 version better maintained, more stable, easier to integrate, etc.. or are both 1.1 and 2.0

I guess I will need to do more research about what the minimum requirements will be. Looking at /boot on my current system the initramfs is about 11Mb, so that would be way too large. Can a linux payload use initramfs or only initrd? Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.
