You will have to write "drivers" for all your components. * Northbridge (integrated into CPU these days) * Southbridge * CPU * Super I/O / Embedded Controllers / Management Engine * ... Starting a new chipset port for a chipset of that complexity is probably going to be 6 months to a year of work You will also have to make sure that your NDAs don't keep you from releasing the code you are writing under the GPLv2.
