Hello Marek,

nice to hear that you're interested in coreboot development. You should ask
your questions on the coreboot mailinglist (coreboot@coreboot.org). Just
forward your original message there, or reply to this mail, adding the
coreboot mailinglist (don't forget to attach your logs).

This really depends on your experience / programming skills and what
needs to be done (see below).

Your dmidecode.log shows that you have DDR2 memory. Sadly, our current
GM45 chipset code does only support DDR3 (which is used in the Roda
RK9). If this isn't a fault in your DMI tables and you really have DDR2
memory, porting coreboot will be especially hard (some more month of extra
work). OTOH, all other chips (southbridge, super i/o, embedded controller)
might already be supported.

Good luck,
Nico
