Hello all,
I recently made my first attempt at installing coreboot. I happened to mess up. While trying to jump across the appropriate pins to engage DualBIOS recovery, my jumper slipped and I shorted out. The mainboard is not completely broken. It succeeds at progressing to the point where the backup BIOS engages and tries to rewrite the main BIOS, but the system reboots during the rewrite.
I've been speaking with mrnuke on the IRC channel and he mentioned two things: 1) There might be some clever strategy to recover the board, and 2) even if I'm not interested in trying that, someone in the community might be.
I am open to either outcome, though I don't have a lot of time to spend on option 1. I am willing to ship at my own expense if someone thinks that they can use this board to further the project.
