Re: [coreboot] P965/ICH8 support revisited

Hi Yuval, someone who has experience porting chipsets could add support for this i965 chipset with maybe 6-12 months of fulltime work. This is of course under the (unlikely) assumption that full documentation is available. If you're doing it as a hobby and have to learn firmware development

2014-04-05 1:24 GMT+02:00 Yuval Adam yuv@gmail.com: The P965/ICH8 combo is suspiciously lacking from the coreboot supported chipsets. Who knows how similar i945 is to i965 ;) I have a motherboard that might be fit for development on these chipsets (Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3) and I'm curious

[coreboot] [HELP!!!] Pavilion EC (similar to compal/ene932) and its woes

So, in messing with this Pavilion m6_1935dx, I was able to get most of the EC running as expected. It seems that, at least the (ACPI) register layout is the same. We can get good battery _and_ AC indicators from it. When we query the EC (say, doing a cat /sys/class/power/AC/online), it
