9elements Takes over Intel 1st Gen Xeon Scalable Skylake Support Within Coreboot

Has anyone played around with this before? Do you know if it is possible to use it to manipulate the intel memory controller (e.g. to modify certain RAM behaviours like refresh rate)? Also, is it only available for the specific hardware platform mentioned?

The memory controller is probably configured by the Intel FSP binary blob so you can only tweak what it allows you to.

Firmware is specific to each motherboard but if you know what you're doing and have motherboard schematics you can modify Coreboot to support different motherboards that use already-supported chips.
