40 ### Intel Icelake SoC & Icelake RVP mainboard
42 Intel Icelake is unmaintained. Also, the only user of this platform ever
43 was the Intel CRB (Customer Reference Board). From the looks of it the
44 code was never ready for production as only engineering sample CPUIDs
45 are supported. This reduces the maintanence overhead for the coreboot
48 Intel Icelake code will be removed with release 4.19 and any maintenence
49 will be done on the 4.19 branch. This consists of the Intel Icelake SoC
50 and Intel Icelake RVP mainboard.
53 ### Intel Quark SoC & Galileo mainboard
55 The SoC Intel Quark is unmaintained and different efforts to revive it
56 failed. Also, the only user of this platform ever was the Galileo
59 Thus, to reduce the maintanence overhead for the community, support for
60 the following components will be removed from the master branch and will
61 be maintained on the release 4.20 branch.
64 * Intel Galileo mainboard
