The good news is that there should be very little C to write if your chipset is already supported. If you're willing to invest some time, you should: 1. Get a null modem serial cable and another PC so you can capture the serial output 2. Make a copy of your original BIOS and make plans for recovery in case something fails 3. Figure out which supported board is closest to yours (maybe change the SuperIO in devicetree.cb) 4. Try it and post your serial log to the list with specific questions. You could also try it on qemu first to familiarize yourself with the building process. Good luck, Myles -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
