Hi all,
We use the Lippert Cool LiteRunner in a commercial application. The POST times of the Lippert BIOS is DISMAL to say the least. The embedded system takes 11 seconds to the lilo/grub stage.
I noticed that the Cool FrontRunner has some work completed, although it is not listed as a working board. The Frontrunner is basically a LiteRunner with some extra features.
Our company are considering the possibilties for a new BIOS. The following questions come to mind:
Option 1: We hack coreboot. * What will this entail in work? We have some experience and equipment in house for the job. * What do we require to make life easy for us? (tools etc)
Option 2: We pay someone to hack coreboot for us. * Is there someone that can do this for us? * What will this cost?
Option 3: An alternative to coreboot? * Is there an alternative??
Option 4: /*Not really an option*/ We buy in one of the commercial bios solutions
Best regards,
Frans
