Maybe not too bad. If you're lucky the existing code can drive the chipset. > I boot my system from a 3ware SE9650 raid controller is this > supported in coreboot? No. coreboot (though the name may suggest otherwise) can not boot an operating system. Your firmware image will consist of coreboot and a payload, where the payload is completely responsible for starting the OS. You will need to use either SeaBIOS or possibly Linux as payload, to access the 3w controller. > What kind of debugging tools do I need? If there is a serial port on the mainboard (strongly prefered) you need a null modem cable. A few EUR. If there is none, you need a USB Debug Device. ~80 USD+import tax. POST card can be helpful indeed. A few EUR. //Peter -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
