Product Collection: Intel® Xeon® Processor E3 v5 Family Code Name: Products formerly Skylake kakaroto@kakaroto:~/coding/purism/coreboot$ git grep SOC_INTEL_SKYLAKE | grep mainboard src/mainboard/google/chell/Kconfig: select SOC_INTEL_SKYLAKE src/mainboard/google/glados/Kconfig: select SOC_INTEL_SKYLAKE src/mainboard/google/lars/Kconfig: select SOC_INTEL_SKYLAKE src/mainboard/intel/kblrvp/Kconfig: select SOC_INTEL_SKYLAKE src/mainboard/intel/kunimitsu/Kconfig: select SOC_INTEL_SKYLAKE src/mainboard/intel/saddlebrook/Kconfig: select SOC_INTEL_SKYLAKE src/mainboard/purism/librem_skl/Kconfig: select SOC_INTEL_SKYLAKE I'm going to assume that the skylake Xeon is supported and will work (from a coreboot standpoint) just the same as a Core i5 or whatever, but it might not be the case. That will be your job to figure the rest out. Good luck, Youness.
