The gNewSenseToMips group just ported gNewSense to the mipsel
architecture to make it run on the Yeeloong. A forum member
posted the output of lspci here:

Has anyone used this? Could this be a good candidate for coreboot?

Neat laptop. I'd say Coreboot probably isn't the right choice,
however, since Coreboot is mostly targeted at x86/x86-64 these days.
I wasn't able to find where to download the firmware for this
laptop, but it likely uses U-Boot, which is a great free firmware core.
With or without Coreboot, it's definitely nice to see more FOSS
friendly laptops out there!
it is MIPS based cpu...
There are several ARM Cortex A8 SOC laptops shipping soon that use the
TI OMAP 3530

or Freescale i.MX515

They use u-boot and are almost all open source except for the powerVR
GPU libraries.

I've heard that Nokia is trying to get Imagination Technologies to open
source the libs.
