Thanks Corey,
- I agree that before reading through the code, it is better to first check if the BIOS guides are available. However I would still like the answer to my question if I wish to carry on with the investigation for now.
- I am trying to work out an overview of the changes required for a start; a bird’s eye view of what the changes could turn out to be. What is the best approach for this?
You will have to write "drivers" for all your components.
* Northbridge (integrated into CPU these days) * Southbridge * CPU * Super I/O / Embedded Controllers / Management Engine * ...
Starting a new chipset port for a chipset of that complexity is probably going to be 6 months to a year of work
You will also have to make sure that your NDAs don't keep you from releasing the code you are writing under the GPLv2.
