[coreboot] Flashing via TPM

[Andrew Bolster]

Hi folks;
I've got a MSI350IA-E45 board, which is a AMD fam 14h board with a AMD
SB700/800 southbridge. I'd like to contribute by porting coreboot to the
board, but I'm not sure where to start; there's no LPC header!

I threw together a patch-cable for my secondary LPC bios, and the board
doesn't explode when I use the cable (always a good sign) but it doesn't
appear to effect the boot; I assume that the stock bios is refusing to let
it take over.

There is an SPI header, but I don't have an SPI ROM emulator, so at this
point, what are my options? Is there a way to force the board to look at the
TPM/LPC socket?
Regards
Andrew Bolster
