MSI 890GXM-G65

[Mattias Mattsson]

Hi,

I'm thinking of trying to port coreboot to MSI 890GXM-G65 (MS-7642):
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=2012

I do not own it (yet), so I only now the specs from the manual:

North Bridge: AMD 890GX chipset
South Bridge: AMD SB850 chipset
Integrated ATI RadeonTM HD4290 GPU
CPU Socket: AM3
Super I/O: Fintek F71889ED (
http://www.motherboards.org/imageview.html?i=/images/reviews/motherboards/20...
)

flashrom is supported according to this user report:
http://www.flashrom.org/pipermail/flashrom/2010-August/004393.html

Does it seems like a good target?
(Does coreboot have support for this chipset, if not is documentation
available?)

Thanks,
-mattias

I heard rumors that AMD 890GX/SB850 support is in the works, but it may
take some time to materialize, and I don't know who is working on it.
