Hello, @husainak 

Projects like Coreboot and Slim bootlader mention they support a linux image as payload, however it is my understanding that this is a minimal image that will then require access to a mass media, like SD card, Hard drive or USB for a fully functional O.S. you can corroborate this in they respective support communities.

If you need a more specific information for your platform you will need to request access to Intel Priviledge Account, you can apply here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/forms/support/my-intel-sign-on-support.html.

Hi Adolfo,
Does this minimal image support in SBL means "we can have vmlinuz/uImage & target-minimal ramdisk filesystem" is supported?
