Btw, can we mark all the new stuff from your patches as supported in the wiki, i.e. is all of it tested on hardware?
Yes, they are tested on hardware - i have three Boards here,
OK, wiki updated.
2 with the Intel 5000 Chipset,
Is this chipset related to or compatible with the new 631xESB/632xESB/3100 stuff you added in flashrom? Did you test 5000, or 631xESB/632xESB/3100, or both?
1 with AMD 760 Chipset.
Do you mean 780 here?
The reason for adding the Flash/Chipset support is that i want to port/use coreboot on these platforms.
Nice! There's some old AMD-768 code in coreboot-v1, maybe you can use that as inspiration (no idea if or how well that worked back then). Those files don't have license headers unfortunately, so you can either
Not necessary the entire project was GPLv2. Saying it in every file is redundant and useful, but as I understand it not strictly necessary, and in certain cases very very annoying.
start from scratch with a v2 or even v3 code, or find out who wrote that code and add the proper license headers (judging from the svn commit log it should be Eric Biederman, GPL2)...
Yep. I wrote it. The code worked well, there is a cluster or two running it. It was released late in the life cycle of the hardware because it took a while to get the last critical bits out of NDA with AMD.
