Please add Documentation as well, that answers the following question:
Which flash IC does it use?
Where does the flash reside?
Can you flash in-circuit?
Are there debug headers?
Can you provide a picture of the flash IC?
What was tested and what works/does not?Patrick, You might want to add the above list to documentation about what you'd like to see for new mainboards that we can point people to. Obviously we can't give out this information right now, but we could create a bug to add this information when the chromebook is released.
Maybe make a template page for new devices?
We could add a field to board_info.txt - Unreleased/Released (date)/No longer for sale. If it's marked as released, we could require documentation.
Sure will add it to the documentation.
Releasing the source code but not giving further details sounds like a lame excuse.
It allows you to release broken, plain wrong and undocumented code that nobody can verify, as you are not able to publicly acknowledge or deny anything.
Giving -1 until it's clear how it was tested and what is actually working.
Thejaswani, can you include a what you have tested in the description?
Patrick, frequently when we initially add boards, they don't even *EXIST* yet. I'm going to be pushing a board shortly that is currently just a schematic. How do you propose that we test that? Not everything that we're doing fits in the same model that you're used to.
Why does it matter how this board has been tested when it's just being added and will see continued development for a long period of time? We prefer to develop in upstream coreboot so that everything's in the open, but you have to know that we can't really talk about things until the board is released.
Please just ignore this board from a documentation standpoint until it's actually released. If you have questions about the chipset, I could understand that, but you're asking questions that can't really be answered right now.
