Dear Carlos A

Thanks for your reply, thanks.

did you achieve this ifwi.bin?

i don't quite understand about this step on page 19:

Prepare fitimage.bin

○ Make sure you disable bootguard by editing the XMLs or fit.exe GUI.

○ Use fit.exe to generate "fitimage.bin".

○ This is a fully flashable image will act as a template to generate coreboot.rom

there're too many settings in fit.exe for apollo lake, any XML template for coreboot fitimage.bin settings?

[AXu2]

this method is abandoned on apollolake, so it's pointless to give this a try.
