If you've already seen Oxbow/Leaf Hills there isn't another platform that I'm aware, especially if you want more than coreboot.<br>

<br>
Thanks for the fast response Brian - MUCH appreciated.<br>
<br>
I was actually already subscribed to the GitHub MB3 issues.<br>
<br>
How will I/we know when such a new "hidden" URL will be available!?<br>
Curious...<br>
Any idea (roughly) when that will be (eg: by end of May?). Preview is good enough for us to start looking at the details for Apollo Lake (for a new project we are working on).<br>
<br>
Quick new question:<br>
Are there any other Apollo Lake (E3900) based Reference designs (with<br>
Schematics) that have Intel Supported/Created firmware UEFI source code that one can build/modify (like MB3)?<br>
<br>
We have looked at the Oxbow Hill Design (& played with an actual board for a<br>
while) but the firmware/BIOS seems much tougher to build (if even possible) than the MB (maybe because we have been spoilt by MB firmware and have so much more experience with it..!)....<br>
<br>
Regards<br>
<br>
Gerard<br>

<br>
A few answers to one question:<br>
<br>
1) Schematics are not yet publicly available for MinnowBoard 3 (MB3). After the board gets thru EMI/EMC (& safety) pre-scans I think we could get a set of schematics and design files posted to Github <a href="https://github.com/MinnowBoard-org/design-files" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/<wbr>MinnowBoard-org/design-files</a> and just label them as pre-cert...see the placeholder folder. ADI would then later post production cert files.<br>
<br>
2) There is no other platform publicly available to test the MB3 firmware.<br>
To reach market shelves, MB3 first needs the E3940 to release. We created a Github issue for MB3 updates/changes that you could subscribe to:<br>
<a href="https://github.com/MinnowBoard-org/bugs-and-help/issues/21" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/<wbr>MinnowBoard-org/bugs-and-help/<wbr>issues/21</a><br>
<br>
3) We can get a "hidden" URL up to the website with MB3 overview for the list audience that can discern between "preview" and "launch". Stay tuned.<br>
<br>
4) In parallel we'll keep supporting Turbot variants, including the dual-ethernet versions, and the already sold out quad-core (next batch in process).<br>
<br>
Feedback/input always desired.<br>

Subject: [MinnowBoard] Schematics for Minnowboard 3 (prelim)?<br>
<br>
Are there any preliminary schematics available for the new Apollo Lake based<br>
(E3900) MinnowBoard 3?<br>
<br>
If yes - how does one get access to it?<br>
<br>
If no - is there any hardware platform available on which one could test the latest MinnowBoard 3 firmware (rel 0.63)?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
