Thank you for your very fast answer.
I wonder if you may have a linuxbios porting experience to help me evaluate the work needed to make this configuration supported by coreboot. (I mean a very gross evaluation considering that it would be someone valuable in low level work who would work on it).

Hi everyone,
At first, this project is great, thanks to everyone that contributed to make it alive.
I build a new embedded system (Linux based) and seriously consider for various reasons to replace the proprietary BIOS by coreboot. Before promising heaven to business guys, I would like to see if nothing will prevent me to realize it.
My system will probably have the following components:
- CPU: Core 2 Duo L7400 - Overview: http://www.intel.com/design/intarch/core2duo/316663.pdf - Core 2 Duo datasheet:
http://www.intel.com/design/mobile/datashts/316745.htm
- MB chipset: Intel 3100 - Overview: http://www.intel.com/design/intarch/prodbref/315817.htm - Datasheet: http://www.intel.com/design/intarch/datashts/313458.htm
- The motherboard will probably be custom (at least adapted) and I
don't have enough information yet to provide.
Without wasting time from you, do you see anything that could prevent me to port coreboot to this system (given your Intel NDA experience or whatever...)
This port would surely contribute to the coreboot repository.
I don't see anything that would prevent you from porting coreboot to this board, except that the chips are not supported yet, so you would have alot of work ahead of you....
Thanks - Joe
