Description
The ASUS KGPE-D16 board is supported by Heads for nearly 2 years.
[#134](https://github.com/osresearch/heads/issues/134).
Is it difficult to do the same with its little brother ASUS KCMA-D8 which has pretty much the same platform ?
This completely blob-free board works nice and very stable with Coreboot 4.11 and will be hopefully supported again with next coreboot release 4.13.
I think these great boards are important to Heads, Coreboot and Libreboot and on my opinion those boards are primarly responsible for the great popularity of these three projects in the past 5 years.

Research direction
The issue points to existing ASUS KGPE-D16 support in Heads via issue #134 and mentions coreboot 4.11 and 4.13, but names no files or tests. Start by locating the KGPE-D16 support and checking current coreboot support for KCMA-D8. Done means the KCMA-D8 is supported by Heads and the board boots reliably.
