I would like to help out. Is there someone experienced who can mentor me on setting up a streamlined, open-source development environment for Coreboot? I've been using grep and gedit for my hacking needs, but trying to maintain a 5 level deep state table of AGESA code dependencies in my head was a problem. How did Jacob get started and what IDE did he use, for example? > Drivers needs support to not get in the way of later development, > and AGESA is sorely lacking in that department.

Where is the biggest pain point today, i.e. not already being worked on and would return the most value to Coreboot by my work? _______________________________________________ coreboot mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
