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.

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.

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.

Please ignore the my last email and use this thread. 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.

And absolutely no idea that HTML messages are not welcome on mailing

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

It looks like the wrong file was modified. That probably causes
Orochi code to be used instead of Trinity as desired. Only change
the one file in the family15tn directory:
diff --git a/src/cpu/amd/agesa/family15tn/model_15_init.c b/src/cpu/amd/agesa/family15tn/model_15_init.c
index f396201..1dbc064 100644
--- a/src/cpu/amd/agesa/family15tn/model_15_init.c
+++ b/src/cpu/amd/agesa/family15tn/model_15_init.c

{ 0, 0 },
};
Here is an optional change. 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. Possible problems are:
1) desired microcode patch is not available 2) Any Richland errata
workarounds embedded in the agesa code are not present 3) There
might be some differences between Trinity and Richland recommended
register settings.
