Re: [coreboot] How to port core boot

[ali hagigat]

Rudolf, When i started to study Coreboot and BIOS , people always made
me confused by nonsense words. I asked some useful questions but
interpreted as simple.(now I have developed a project which can drive
RAM, serial port and hard disk)

The managers of this project even do not accept their own mistakes.
Now FILO can not be compiled and when i report it as the README of the
filo is saying, the manager emails me and tells me that you are not a
programmer!!

I thought i would be encouraged for that by a thank you. When i ask a
question nobody talks about the details of the logic behind that
except one person, Kyösti Mälkki.

Hey folks, what is going on here? If you are a master of Coreboot why
we have unrelated simple answers?
