mb/supermicro/x11ssh: Add Supermicro X11SSH-TF
Add support for the X11SSH-TF which is based on Intel KBL. Working: * SeaBIOS payload * LinuxBoot payload * IPMI of BMC * PCIe, SATA, USB and M.2 ports * RS232 serial * Native graphics init Not working: * TianoCore doesn't work yet as the Aspeed NGI is text mode only. * Intel SGX, due to random crashes in soc/intel/common For more details have a look at the documentation. Please apply those patches as well for good user experience: Ica0c20255f661dd61edc3a7d15646b7447c4658e Signed-off-by: Christian Walter <christian.walter@9elements.com> Signed-off-by: Patrick Rudolph <patrick.rudolph@9elements.com> Signed-off-by: Felix Singer <felix.singer@9elements.com> Change-Id: I2edaa4a928de3a065e517c0f20e3302b4b702323 Reviewed-on: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/32734 Tested-by: build bot (Jenkins) <no-reply@coreboot.org> Reviewed-by: Philipp Deppenwiese <zaolin.daisuki@gmail.com>

+# Supermicro X11SSH-TF
+
+This section details how to run coreboot on the [Supermicro X11SSH-TF].
+
+## Required proprietary blobs
+
+* [Intel FSP2.0]
+* Intel ME
+
+## Flashing coreboot
+
+The board can be flashed externally using *some* programmers.
+The CH341 was found working, while Dediprog won't detect the chip.
+
+For more details have a look at the [flashing tutorial].
+
+The flash IC can be found between the two PCIe slots near the southbridge:
+![](x11ssh_flash.jpg)
+
+## BMC (IPMI)
+
+This board has an ASPEED [AST2400], which has BMC functionality. The
+BMC firmware resides in a 32 MiB SOIC-16 chip in the corner of the
+mainboard near the [AST2400]. This chip is an [MX25L25635F].
+
+## Known issues
+
+- Intel SGX causes secondary APs to crash (disabled for now).
+- Tianocore doesn't work with Aspeed NGI, as it's text mode only.
+- After S5 resume coreboot detects more DIMMs than installed, causing FSP-M
+ to fail.
+
+## Tested and working
+
+- USB ports
+- M.2 2280 NVMe slot
+- 2x 10GB Ethernet
+- SATA
+- RS232
+- VGA on Aspeed
+- Super I/O initialisation
+- ECC DRAM detection
+- PCIe slots
+- TPM on TPM expansion header
+- BMC (IPMI)
