Hello, guys,
? and girls.
I am very pleased to have the chance to talk with you. I hope I do not bother you. My name is Shawn Bai, and you can call me Shawn, it's OK.Welcome.
I am very interested both in the low-level in embedded system, and in BIOS level in desktop computer or server. I get to know this open source project while I browse the internet.
I think it's a very good project to help me understand what happens within the system, even more.
Is there anything I can do to make coreboot better? I have some work experience in embedded system low-level development, mainly in Board support package.
Hope to hear from you soon.
You could look into the issue raised in the other thread and try to unify `acpi_table.c` [1].
Some more random notes.
- To handle patches more easily? you can also use Git [2].
- Please just send plain text messages to the list [3].
- Another way to contact or talk to the developers is the IRC channel
[4].
I am looking forward to your contributions,
Paul
? At least Sven told at the LinuxTag that handling patches with SVN/Subversion and no commit access is a real pain.
