Hi Arne,
If you are prepared to do firmware development (socketed ROM, etc) the port should not be too difficult. The amd/serengeti_cheetah_fam10 mainboard should be a good example to work from. It is helpful if you have access to motherboard and chipset documents.
I have a RD1-PMC4 BIOS savior from a previos project that I've installed on the system. The vendor BIOS is twice the size of the BIOS Savior flash, but I'm not sure if this is important or not. The BIOS Savior has had coreboot installed previously.
I was kind of hoping that the presence of a regular S2912 port would make the need for mb/chipset docs less pressing. Pointers to relevant docs would be much appreciated. (I think I have most of what I need as far as platform/AMD docs go.)
Do you think it would make more sense to start out from the cheetah_fam10 codebase or the regular s2912 codebase? My initial impulse was to adapt the s2912 codebase according to the diff between the cheetah and cheetah_fam10 targets and see how far that got me.
Thanks!
