Hello,
I would like to know if it is feasible to seek coreboot support for the LGA775 socket and motherboards based on the P965 and ICH8R chipsets and controllers. These motherboards, such as ASUS P5B-DE and P5B Deluxe Wifi-AP, are still offered for sale and their top processors are still competitive despite a few Intel CPU refreshes in the last 3-4 years.
I am wondering if the following datasheets and specifications would suffice to start working on this port. http://ark.intel.com/products/chipsets/22754/config/26953 http://ark.intel.com/products/27687/Intel-82801HR-IO-Controller http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/io/intel-io-controller-hub-8-datashee...

I would appreciate any advice and help. Thank you.
Best regards, Mihai Marchidann
