some boxes were supported but I think people lost interest. The new chromeboxes are pretty compelling and modern, so it's hard to see the case for those very old boxes. ron On Mon, Mar 3, 2014 at 6:03 PM, Gregg Levine <gregg.drwho8(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Hello! > Um, I never bought one.

Hello! Um, I never bought one. The ideas for applying one ended about the time the name change happened for the group. I decided to ask since I've not heard a bleep since, well, since about three years previously. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8(a)gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Set Top Boxes and Linux?

Hello! I've not seen anything (so far) concerning the ideas of installing Core Boot, into a system originally designated as a Set Top box. Is the idea still an active one? Or did it go into hibernation? --- And I'm bringing this up, not just because of prior discussions, but because it happens I have here one of those penguins that were given out at the former Linux World Expo events, and it says "TV Linux Alliance" on its middle. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8(a)gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Also, it is customary in open source software to use plain text email. Please check your email settings. Welcome to coreboot and we are glad that you are interested in GSoC. Please take some time to read the GSoC page and join IRC. You will need to become familiar with coreboot and the needs of the test suite if you are going to apply for coreboot GSoC. Building and running coreboot with qemu is the first step, again there are instructions on the website. Please feel free to ask questions as you have them. http://www.coreboot.org/GSoC Regards, Marc -- http://se-eng.com

And absolutely no idea that HTML messages are not welcome on mailing list. Use ASCII messages. It will also prevent you from screaming big letters in the middle of a message.

Re: [coreboot] coreboot Digest, Vol 109, Issue 2

Hi, I am Muhammad Ramshad currently pursuing my degree program in University of Moratuwa in the field of Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering. I am always interested learning new technologies and knowledge, so i found that GSoC is really a good platform for me to learn new things. When i search through the projects and organizations the coreboot project grabbed my focus towards it because i am more interested in Digital System Design and hardware a level development like processor design and ISA designs. at the moment i m not much familiar with coreboot, but i always more committed towards work and a fast learner, these days i spent my time to become familiar with coreboot. I am interested in writing a proposal for "coreboot mainboard test suite So i expect your guidance to make this success and hope to contribute even if my proposal will not selected for GSoC Thanks regards Ramshad On Sun, Mar 2, 2014 at 2:23 AM, <coreboot-request(a)coreboot.org> wrote: > Send coreboot mailing list submissions to > coreboot(a)coreboot.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > coreboot-request(a)coreboot.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > coreboot-owner(a)coreboot.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of coreboot digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.

That first hack that changes == to != is quite unreadable and confusing. I believe the following is a better solution. Also remember that running Trinity agesa on Richland is a hack and hopefully a temporary solution.
