The original U-Boot payload support was done with Broadwell-DE (I'm not sure which one though). It allows U-Boot to boot from EFI. For what you want, yes you will need to obtain various binary blobs. Hopefully you can get the FSP from Intel, and with that the work required in U-Boot is probably not too large. Although I'm sure that the FSP API will have changed a little.
