I am new and interested to work on coreboot.I have gone through the coreboot website. I am trying to do patch review.. But I am taking more time to come up with the solution compared to others..
that is to be expected when getting into coreboot. Do not let this demotivate you.
Sorry for the lack of replies. I am not up to date, but I think you tried to do patch review over the list only which is not how it is done in coreboot currently. A Gerrit instance [1] is used for that. You need to log in with an OpenID (from Google Mail(?)) and leave comments there for example. [2]
So,Please let me know any other ways to contribute for coreboot apart from patch review??
I guess the best thing to get going is probably to get it running on some hardware. The Toshiba laptop you asked about is currently not supported [3]. Getting the chipset support done is probably to much work, so you should get a different system. The ASRock E350M1 is pretty good supported. Otherwise get some other AMD based system.
If that is not possible you could try QEMU although this is better to play with payloads. You could try to get Tint running with QEMU and probably port some more programs to libpayload.
It is pretty difficult to suggest something not knowing what your background and interests are. Can you also share where you are located? Maybe some coreboot user lives near by you could get in touch with.
Please also feel free to join the IRC channel [4] to get more information.
Thanks,
Paul
