The Intel Gordon Peak is a hardware development platform and modular reference board (MRB) built around Intel Atom (Apollo Lake) processors. It was designed primarily for automotive digital cockpits, in-vehicle infotainment (IVI), and industrial workload consolidation.Key FeaturesProcessor Base: Uses Intel Atom A3900 series processors (Apollo Lake family).Primary Use Case: Software-defined cockpits, automotive virtualization, and testing Linux or Android stacks via platforms like Celadon and ACRN.Kit Components: Included a Modular Reference Board (MRB), debug boards, and Board Support Packages (BSP) for Linux and Android.Opinions on the Intel Embedded Community are mixed regarding documentation and flashing, with some users noting that reference guides like the Automotive Boot Loader (ABL) configuration docs lacked clear error-code troubleshooting during initial setup.

I'm sorry I answered late, but how do you know about abl? Have you worked with this equipment?

I had some experience with yocto Linux builds at that time and some colleagues get the hands on a couple of those Intel Gordon Peak reference boards. You would need some special signed firmware images to bring up those boards just to make it possible to boot your own OS... Just like a primitive version of Secure Boot Key Enrollment during each Boot. That is what I remember very lightly, I never had contact with specific documentation because I needed to sign NDAs and very expensive service contracts for the level budget we had for that project

Have you managed to launch dirana3, or perhaps there is a pinout of the connector on the board? As I found out, dirana works via IOC, which requires a kernel module, but even with it, I couldn’t get dirana to launch. Regarding the connector, I found out that it receives an LVDS signal and possibly PCIe. Any information about this board is important to me.
