Re: [coreboot] Long license headers (ANGER WARNING)
by Curt Brune
How about using the SPDX licensing method:
https://spdx.org/licenses/
Here's an example of its usage in a U-Boot Makefile:

Pretty tidy.
Cheers,

I am sure there will be more people who would make this mental

Keep in mind this chipset uses memory init not in the public Intel
datasheets. Unless it is extremely similar to the GM45, any port will
require MCH code from Intel, a very high level NDA, or reverse
engineering.

You'll need to add new folders for your code in the same locations,
and modify the config files in the */intel/ folders to bring your code
into the build process. You may also need to add your CPU, I don't
know what the state of LGA775 CPUs is. You'll then have to create a
folder in coreboot/src/mainboard/ to pull it all together.

2. Compare the datasheets, most likely the 8721F and 8720F are
configured the same, or possibly it is the same as some other ITE
chipset. If it is, you can just point your mainboard code to that
code. If not, you may have to port it as well.

Hi,
FYI: I've created a ticket in jolla's ticket system. When I've received an answer I'll paste it here too.
Best,

Intel Q45 chipset support
by Darmawan Salihun
Hi,
I have checked the list of supported chipset and board but it seems
that Intel Q45 is not yet in the list. I recall, this chipset is the
same family with Intel gm45. Anyway, the specific board I'm going to
port into is Gigabyte GA-EQ45M-S2 Rev.1. This board has Intel Q45
northbridge and ICH10(DO) southbridge, SuperIO ITE8720F
Questions:
1. Which part of the code that I need to read to add support for this
Intel Q45 and i82801J-DO?
I've been reading the coreboot/src/northbridge/intel/gm45/ section and
coreboot/src/southbridge/intel/i82801ix so far.
2. The SuperIO (ITE 8720F) is also not in the source code it seems. I
saw ITE 8721F in there but no ITE 8720F
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Darmawan
