could you please elaborate on that statement? When was that last time
and what device/board did you look at? I ask because in my experience
the majority of coreboot code lives up to a high standard since several
years now.

Thanks,

Hi Paul,

last time was with a yonah / 945gm / ich7 based system. i think that was
3-4 years ago (coreboot v2?)

maybe that statement is somewhat subjective and i have just more experience
with stuff like that in the meantime. i don't have that code anymore but i
think things a
just more straight forward and understandable.

moreover i found it was a lot easier to get a working build that at least
puts out some postcodes and debug log. i think it didn't even compile
without modifications the last time.
an very important reason is that i have excatly the same board - having
(intel) reference boards actively supported makes starting much easier.
last time it was hard to find a supported mainboard that could be bought
somewhere.

best regards,

karl.

But anyway - the real statement of the message meant to be: "thanks for all
the good code".
