Hi,
I've got an HP nx6310 notebook with Linux as operating system and I'm thinking of trying coreboot to get rid of the non-free HP BIOS. Though I'm quite confident that the chipset is supported, it'll be nice if someone would confirm that and perhaps give further instructions on how to use coreboot with my mainboard.
Notebook: HP nx6310 EY366EA#ABD no extensions at all, except a PCMCIA WLAN card with Atheros chipset BIOS version: F.0E CPU: Intel Celeron M 1,46GHz RAM: 1GB (512MB by default) Graphics card: on board, Intel GMA 945 Sound card: on board, Intel HDA ... (don't know the exact model)
Outputs of lspci -tvnn, superiotool -dV and flashrom -V: see text files
Hopefully someone can help. I'd love to help making coreboot better but without shooting my mainboard.
Hi,
coreboot might work on this machine with reasonable effort. You will however need to get some SPI flashing hardware, and you should be familiar with a soldering iron in order to solder a SPI socket / header to your board or some wires to your SPI flash.
An issue might be that there does not seem to be a serial console. You might need a net20dc USB debug device.
