Hi Simon, Thanks for the info. I already have all the necessary blobs from the current working implementation with Coreboot + U-Boot: FPS, ME, Microcode, Flash Descriptor, VGA Rom.
To start porting I was planning to copy all the files of the board minnowmax and rename it with the name of our product. I saw that minnowmax use FSP 1.0 exactly like Broadwell-DE. I hope that helps.
