What processor, northbridge, southbridge does your board have? What additional/optional chips does it have such as NOR flash, SPI NOR flash, SuperIO, embedded controller, Ethernet, SATA/SAS, etc. Depending on which chips your board uses, coreboot will be either fully supported, partially supported or not supported at all: http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards If your mainboard is not listed, it may still be supported if the processor and chipset and other devices are supported: http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices Other areas of the _status_ section of the coreboot web site may be helpful as well. > i have navigated the coreboot.org site but do not find any > satisfactory document to start with. i have not enough > knowledge of traditional bios or linuxbios. > please help from where to start ? Did you try http://www.coreboot.org/Category:Tutorials ? The best way to start/learn may be getting one of the cheaper boards on this web page and follow the corresponding tutorial. Other areas of the _Getting Started_ section of the coreboot web site may also helpful. > i want to know each and every aspect of the coreboot and if > possible i want to contribute to coreboot development.so > anybody can help with enough document to start with. Check out the _Developers_, _Related Tools_, and _Support_ sections of the coreboot web site. I suggest starting with: http://www.coreboot.org/Developer_Manual http://www.coreboot.org/Development_Guidelines Also check out flashrom, superiotool, buildrom, and other tools in _Related Tools_. Also read/review these web pages: http://www.coreboot.org/FAQ http://www.coreboot.org/Coreboot_Options http://www.coreboot.org/Glossary Good luck!
