Hello Pete,
This is an important subject because recovery is one of the few major features of a commercial BIOS that coreboot+SeaBIOS lacks. I tried the sample on ASRock E350M1 and it did not work. One reason is needed LPC clock initialization (http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bios/67229). Another problem is the one mentioned in the release notes about cases where the serial port pins default to gpio use and must be configured for serial port use. I believe this will be the situation with Nuvoton NCT6776F.
I spent a few minutes debugging with AMD simnow but was unable to get it to work there. Maybe some additional port 80 codes that mark algorithm milestones would simplify debug.
Thanks, Scott
