Hi,
I don't know if you're talking about the EPYC 7000 Series Naples
Embedded SOC, or a generic Ryzen/ZEN based desktop (both f17h)
According to the Processor Initialization package (PI = AGESA) available
under NDA for the Embedded EPYC, the new AGESA software architecture is
100% based on EDK-II TianoCore (UEFI). I don't know how much work would
be needed to hook Coreboot into a TianoCore based source code tree....
which is *very* different from the old AGESA "Arch2008" that we've seen
in the past. I don't know for a fact, but I haven't seen the
possibility of building an AGESA blob from the latest AGESA either.
License wise, it's pretty much impossible to merge Coreboot code with
proprietary AGESA code without a binary "blob". And then someone has to
get the authorization from AMD to release that blob and associated
include files....
I cannot offer detailed thoughts from AMD regarding Coreboot, except
that they don't want to support it themselves anymore.... And that too
many US-based lawyers are involved....

Subject: [coreboot] Support for AMD family f17h in coreboot
Message-ID:<[email protected]>

Hello!
Is there any plans to support AMD family f17h processors in coreboot any
time soon? Or it can be possible only if AMD will decide to provide AGESA
code for this new cpu family and nobody here knows what will AMD do?
Does AMD still support coreboot in any way? What are chances that f17h
processors will be supported by coreboot?
