[U-Boot] Minnowmax Turbot not supported

Hi all,
I have just received from ADI Engineering a MinnowBoard Turbot Quad-core (Baytrail E3845). I wanted to compile bare metal U-Boot according to the README.x86 in the doc folder. Unfortunately the board doesn't boot and doesn't print any informations on the serial port. I know that also someone else have the same problem, but I couldn't find any solutions on internet. It look like the board doesn't load the correct microcode.
I got the descriptor file from the original firmware. Then for the FSP binary I tried the one from the official Intel Github repo, and also the one you can download from Intelfirmware.com called FSP Gold 2014 Minnowmax.
From the official UEFI firmware I can see the following specs: CPU Family: 6 Model: 7 Step: 9 Microcode: 906 Sig: 0x30679 PF: 0x1
Did anybody succeeded to boot U-Boot on the new Turbot board?
Best regards, Vincenzo

It should not be the microcode problem as U-Boot ships m0130679907.dtsi which is newer than what you get (906)
