Dear coreboot folks,
similar to implementing native graphics for Intel hardware to replace the Video BIOS [1], which brings down the time from 1.5 seconds with the Video BIOS to 200 ms with native graphics init [2], the same should be done for hardware with AMD/ATI graphics. Would such a project be feasible for Google Summer of Code 2013? 1. Is that even possible for AMD/ATI hardware in their current design with ATOM BIOS and firmware? 2. Surely some student and mentor have to be found for tackling this task. I could ask the Radeon and Linux DRM folks if they would be willing to join such an effort. (Though the AMD/ATI developers seem to be understaffed.) 3. Has anyone already thought about this idea? Thanks, Paul [1] https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g8FMob25VZYxbWri2iFB8YiSL8gwF9vKJH3HGxr0xQU/edit?pli=1# [2] http://review.coreboot.org/#/c/2531/5//COMMIT_MSG
