## Required proprietary blobs
This board currently requires a proprietary blob in order to initialise
the RAM and a few other components. The blob largely consists of Intel's
Memory Reference Code (shortened to mrc), and is just under 200 KiB
in size. It is also known as a system agent binary. Unfortunately,
it is not currently possible to distribute this as part of coreboot.
However, the mrc can be obtained from a Haswell Chromebook firmware
image, and you might find one online. The mrc from a ChromeOS image can
be extracted with the following command. If extracting from a "standard"
coreboot image, omit `-r RO_SECTION`.
```bash
cbfstool coreboot.rom extract -f mrc.bin -n mrc.bin -r RO_SECTION
```eval_rst
Please see :doc:`../../northbridge/intel/haswell/mrc.bin`.
```
Now, place mrc.bin in the root of the coreboot directory.
Alternatively, place it anywhere you want, and set `MRC_FILE` to its
location when building coreboot.

A fully working image should be possible just by setting your MAC
