+# Elgon
+
+This page describes how to run coreboot on the [Elgon] compute board
+from [OpenCellular].
+
+## TODO
+
+* Add hard reset control
+
+## Flashing coreboot
+
+```eval_rst
++---------------------+------------+
+| Type | Value |

+
+### Internal programming
+
+The SPI flash can be accessed using [flashrom].
+
+### External programming
+
+The EVT board does have a pinheader to flash the SOIC-8 in circuit.
+Directly connecting a Pomona test-clip on the flash is also possible.
