eXch.cc,
After researching everything you mentioned I have a question I hope you can answer. What motherboard model in your opinion is the least complicated to disable the IME on using Coreboot? I ask because the IPMI on my Supermicro X11 series motherboard complicates things a lot for a newbie like me. Therefore, I would really appreciate it a lot if you can recommend a motherboard that comes close to matching the specifications listed below and which you think provides the most straight forward approach to installing Coreboot:

  • Micro-ATX form factor or ITX form Factor
  • Core i5 or i7 performance
  • Supports a minimum of 32GB of RAM
  • Supports Ubuntu Server OS
  • Open to AMD alternative motherboard if the PSP is less complicated to disable compared to IME.

Thank you for your time.
