Hello everybody,
I'm thinking about porting coreboot to my motherboard (epox 9NPA3I /
9NPA3J / 9NPAJ-3 / 9NPA3 Ultra Series). My chipset (CK804) and my
superio (F71872F/FG) are in supported list. According to this page
(http://www.coreboot.org/Support) port "might be easy" (exactly: "If
you find those in our list of Supported Chipsets and Devices
<http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Chipsets_and_Devices> a port might
be easy").
I need roughlyestimation for "easy" to decide is it possible for me to
port coreboot or not (in time-consuming terms). So, is "easy" up to 8
hours for coreboot expert, or is it up to 40 hours for coreboot
expert? Will be great if you could give me estimation for 'worst' and
'best' variant.
Thank you very much,
Andrey
It took me less then 8 hours to make my first port, and I'm not even a C
programmer, mine was a best case senario as there was a sibling board
already ported. I have also ported some where just the component where
supported, that didn't take to long either, probably 7-10 hours.
Working on a board where only legacy code and docs are available I have
probably spend around 12 hours to get to ram init.
I think the key to sussess is to have an easy way to reflash the bios
when your image failes.
