Several variants of the H8QGi motherboard are highly supported by coreboot-15h, namely the H8QGi+-F and H8QG6+-F. The H8QGi motherboards have 4 G34 sockets, each with 8 DIMM slots; supporting a maximum configuration of 64 cores and 1 TB of RAM. LRDIMM modules may bring the maximum memory up to 2 TB, but LRDIMM support has not been tested.
Board Variants
H8QGi+-F
The H8QGi+-F is the base model of the H8QGi series, all other variants have additional features. Compatibility of the onboard BMC with coreboot has not been tested; it can be disabled via the "JPB1" motherboard jumper.

H8QGi+-LN4F
The H8QGi+-LN4F has four onboard LAN ports. It is likely compatible with the coreboot image for H8QGi+-F, but this has not been tested.
H8QG7+-LN4F
The H8QG7+-LN4F has an onboard SAS controller and four onboard LAN ports. It is likely compatible with the coreboot image for H8QG6+-F, but this has not been tested.
H8QGi-F
The H8QGi-F is a H8QGi+-F with a secondary northbridge and additional PCIe lanes. The coreboot image for the H8QGi+-F can be used, but the secondary northbridge and associated PCIe lanes will be offline.
H8QG6-F
The H8QG6-F is a H8QG6+-F with a secondary northbridge and additional PCIe lanes. The coreboot image for the H8QG6+-F can be used, but the secondary northbridge and associated PCIe lanes will be offline.
H8QGi-LN4F
The H8QGi-LN4F is a H8QGi+-LN4F with a secondary northbridge and additional PCIe lanes. It is likely compatible with the coreboot image for H8QGi+-F, but this has not been tested; the secondary northbridge and associated PCIe lanes will be offline.
H8QG7-LN4F
The H8QG7-LN4F is a H8QG7+-LN4F with a secondary northbridge and additional PCIe lanes. It is likely compatible with the coreboot image for H8QG6+-F, but this has not been tested; the secondary northbridge and associated PCIe lanes will be offline.
Onboard BMC
Flashing Firmware
To switch from the stock firmware to coreboot, external flashing is required.
Flash Chip Location
The flash chip is located below the circular CMOS battery slot.
Flash Chip Orientation
The circle marking the location of pin 1 is highlighted red in the above image. The circle is a subtle indentation on the chip that can be seen with the aid of a flashlight..
