Greetings. I'm following your project, although at one time I chose dell m4800 and old alienware as platforms for experimentation).
Could you please provide a link regarding possible support for 4G Decoding and ReBar in Coreboot? Because it is a prerequisite to upgrade mxm gpu to Ampere generation.

Here you go:

EDIT: Haswell may have problem with Coreboot because thanks to Intel (TM) Boot Guard. Your mileage may vary.

I had already tested this alternative BIOS simplifed version, and it works! Now I need to compile updated version with corrected bugs and graphical interface.

Never though I would be making my own bios hahaha!
