I am familar with the LinuxBios project and I looked at Coreboot before. The problem is there are very few motherboards supported. It isn't about how open is but rather on whether or not someone takes the time to support a motherboard or not. The Jr is going to be phased out in six months so it wouldn't be worth the time to port Coreboot to the Jr. However, we are just releasing the DX and soon we will have products based on the new Xcore86 CPU. Our base BIOS is AMI BIOS. If someone wanted to migrate Coreboot onto the new platforms, that would be great.
