This might be called the Management Engine (ME), the Trusted Execution Engine (TXE) or something else depending on the chip. This firmware might or might not be available in coreboot's 3rdparty/blobs repository. If it is not and if you don't have access to the firmware from elsewhere, you can still build coreboot without it. In this case however, you'll have to make sure that you don't overwrite your ME/TXE firmware on your flash ROM. config ME_BIN_PATH string "Path to management engine firmware" default "3rdparty/blobs/mainboard/$(MAINBOARDDIR)/me.bin" depends on HAVE_ME_BIN config HAVE_GBE_BIN bool "Add gigabit ethernet firmware" depends on HAVE_IFD_BIN help The integrated gigabit ethernet controller needs a firmware file.

The resulting coreboot.rom will not contain all parts required to get coreboot running on your board. You can however write only the BIOS section to your board's flash ROM and keep the other sections untouched. Unfortunately the current version of flashrom doesn't support this yet. But there is a patch pending [1]. WARNING: Never write a complete coreboot.rom to your flash ROM if it was built with a fake IFD. It just won't work.

If the section is locked, it can only be overwritten with an external SPI flash programmer. You will want this if you want to increase security of your ROM image once you are sure that the ME/TXE firmware is no longer going to change. If unsure, say N. endif #INTEL_FIRMWARE
