Hi, I bought the HP 5103 netbook. I was wondering if coreboot would run on it. It has the following specs:
Here are the quick specs (the more detailed specs are at the bottom):
CPU: Intel Atom N550 with an integrated northbridge Southbridge: Intel N10/ICH 7 SuperIO: SMSC FDC37B72x
So on your motherboard page, the closest motherboard I could find is the Intel D945GCLF. So I found the Kconfig file and thought a good way to start would be to modify it. It has: select CPU_INTEL_SOCKET_441 select NORTHBRIDGE_INTEL_I945GC select SOUTHBRIDGE_INTEL_I82801GX select SUPERIO_SMSC_LPC47M15X
Should I start by modifying these four lines? Then compile and flash?
The socket for the N550 is the Intel Socket 437. Does coreboot support that?
The other question I had was about the northbridge. Since its integrated into the CPU, should I remove that line? Or can I keep it in?
The N10/NM10 northbridge is unsupported by coreboot as of now. You will have to write support for that in order to get coreboot working on your system.
