Just to make sure this is known, the APU2 currently requires the AGESA
binary to boot.  It is not (yet?) fully libre:

https://review.coreboot.org/#/c/14138/10/src/mainboard/pcengines/apu2/Kconfig

See in particular the USE_BLOBS select line.

The APU1 does not require blobs to boot and may be a better choice
depending on application.
