Yinghai Lu ( yinghai.lu at amd.com ) is the man to ask about that. He suggested the following boards in response to a similar question asked earlier today ( http://www.openbios.org/pipermail/linuxbios/2007-February/018451.html ) :
Gigabyte M57sli with AM2 socket Tyan s2915 Tyan s2912 Supermicro h8dae
I recommend purchasing a BIOS Savior device however the BIOS Savior is not in itself a programmer. Fortunately, you can use the Flashrom utility ( http://linuxbios.org/Flashrom ) provided for in the LinuxBIOSv2/util/ directory.
Best of luck!

Hi, all,
We want to do some experiments in LinuxBIOS on AMD mainboard. But as you know, not all mainboard are supported by LinuxBIOS. We want to know what kind of mainboard (development board) we should buy to run LinuxBIOS on it easily. Could you give us some suggestions?
And another question is, if we have make sure what mainboard to buy. Then which programmer should we buy? We are planning to order BIOS programmer from here http://www.ioss.com.tw/web/English/RD1BIOSSavior/SelectionSheet.html, but it still depends on whether we can find a fitful programmer for our new board.
Thank you very much for your help!
Best,
