Hi,
I'm currently eyeing the ASUS E35M1-M PRO Fusion AMD E-350 APU
(1.6GHz, Dual-Core) AMD Hudson M1 Micro AT over at newegg and was
wondering if any coreboot compatibility is known.
I saw in the supported motherboards section that the asrock (the
budget section of asus?) does have a E350 based board that is
supported, so hopes are good for now :)
I am kindof working on it, but so far memory initialization fails most
of the time (as in: I had two or three boots that reached the payload
so far). The (apparently) same failure has been observed with the ASRock
board as well:

As such, I am actually currently not really working on it, but rather
waiting for Frank Vibrans to have a closer look at the AGESA debug output
the board generates before it stops.
Recently amd announced they'd support all future CPU's starting with
.. I forgot, but how well is this setup to be supported in, say a
year from now?
I'm experienced with linux, and not scared of flashing, compiling
and testing. I (will soon) have jtag and other flashing capabilities
using bus-pirate and bus-blaster boards. I don't know if this board
has dual bios or swapable bios, as the only swapable chip is a
little 8 leggeded chip (doubt that's the 32MB flash). The current
It's 32 Mb/4 MB, but that's the BIOS flash, indeed.
Well with the replaceable bios-chip; that's awesome. Getting a spare of
those shouldn't be to hard, to experiment with.
bios is UEFI based though.
... and horribly broken, yes.
as always I suppose :(
Any thoughts/idea's?
Well, I can provide you with what's necessary to get the serial port going,
but currently there isn't much to do unless you are familiar with
AMD CPU and chipset initialization, I guess.

I'm not that technical I'm affraid :) But didn't AMD say they'd support
coreboot 'better'? Any way they'd be of help in that regard?
