Well done Frank. We need to recognize a group of people at AMD that
have put a lot of effort into making this happen. This has been a more
than a years effort to get through business, legal, and technical
issues.

As always, the coreboot guys have been very supportive through this as
well. Thanks to Ron, Stefan, David, Patrick and others that I am
forgetting.

I know that there were many other behind the scenes and I apologize if
I left anyone out.

Thank You Everyone Involved!

AMD Agesa and AMD CIMx SB800 code. Patch 1 of 8.

Hi!

Thank you very much, Frank, Gary, Kenneth, Kerry, Kevin, Michael, Mike
and Zheng! And of course all the others that were involved! This is
great moment for coreboot, and we are all incredibly excited about this!

Those among the coreboot community that have done hardware ports before can
estimate how much excellent work has been put into this port, both on
the technical as well as on the legal side. Awesome job!

Apart from the actual port, we are also seeing infrastructure coming in
place that allows coreboot to support AMD processors and chipsets much
sooner and even better than in previous releases.

May AMD systems boot fast and numerously out there!

Thanks,

Stefan
