maybe it's a cvs thing. I'll try again. but my local tree shows:

There's a learning curve. I can't do much about that save make the
documentation better, sorry.

You need a Config file in there showing what bits are used. Can you tell
me what files you need to add, and I'll tell you how? If we do this right
we'll get a HOWTO out of it.

You don't really need to know python. You need to know the config
language, but that is actually pretty easy. I was hoping you could
look at the other mainboard/*/* directories as examples.
You're kind of new to this but believe me given all the options the config
tool is the best thing we could come up with. This is a
multiple-architecture, multi-platform bios and config is kind of
complicated.
There's a config manual in the Documentation directory.
We need to document this "add a mainboard" procedure. There has not been
time, but I will try to get you a HOWTO.
