Hopefully it will be an edu= cational and enjoyable experience for me and a productive summer overall. Nate and I have already discussed the project briefly on here, but in gene= ral, what would be a good way to communicate with mentors? I've compiled a Kabylake RVP image, so my development environment is worki= ng here. I've also looked at the features directory and the board libraries= to get an idea of the integration required. It appears that the libraries = supporting FSP API and dispatch modes, respectively, offer different featur= es (for instance, microcode patch in dispatch mode, HDA verb tables in API = mode)? I had noted previous observations in the project proposal, but I wil= l continue to familiarise myself with the OpenBoardPkg and MinPlatform cont= rol flow, so that I can identify and plan for possible issues in advance. What else should I do in preparation/during the next 3 weeks?
