Hi everyone,
I have a motherboard (Supermicro X10SL7-F) that appears to be very similar to 
the supported board X10SLM+-F
I would like comment on whether anyone thinks running coreboot on this board 
would be possible!
And if so what work would need to be done to make it a reality.

1.
Board description:

        Vendor: Supermicro
        Board name: X10SL7-F
        CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1231 v3 (Haswell)
        Northbridge: ?
        Southbridge: Intel C222 Express PCH
        This board also contains a built-in LSI 2308 disk controller providing 
8 SAS2 ports

Not all flash regions are freely accessible by flashrom. This is most likely
due to an active ME. Please see https://flashrom.org/ME for details.
Writes have been disabled for safety reasons. You can enforce write
support with the ich_spi_force programmer option, but you will most likely
harm your hardware! If you force flashrom you will get no support if
something breaks. On a few mainboards it is possible to enable write
access by setting a jumper (see its documentation or the board itself).

This chip may contain one-time programmable memory. flashrom cannot read
and may never be able to write it, hence it may not be able to completely
clone the contents of this chip (see man page for details).
