It is possible for us to get the boot sequence and other required documents for these processors.
You will have to get NDAed information from Intel about this.
Could you highlight what are the necessary changes required in coreboot while integrating a new processor.
Please have a look at the existing chipsets. I suggest having a look at the i945 northbridge and ich7 southbridge code.
Expect a new chipset/processor combination to be around 6-12 months of (fulltime) work, depending on your level of expertize.
Also with my limited understanding of coreboot as of now I am assuming we should be able to use standard linux device drivers to support devices on our board. Is that correct?
Yes, you can use the same Linux drivers that you use on a non-coreboot system. They won't help you with the hardware initialization that coreboot does, though.
