Hi, all. I have a 430HX, a 810e, a 815, a Apollo Pro 133A and a KT600 that I want to port coreboot to. Which one is easier to start with since I'm new to coreboot?

Intel i810e should be a simple start, it's mostly supported already, you "only" have to add support for the board.
The 430HX, i815, Apollo Pro 133A need to be supported from scratch but are "relatively" easy since they're older SDRAM chipsets (DDR/DDR2 is much worse). I don't know about KT600, that sounds more recent (also, no idea if you can find a public datasheet for that).
I'm working on Apollo Pro 133A myself btw, maybe I have a patch for that in a few days or so.
Hope that helps, Uwe.
Thanks a lot for the help.
I have only KT600 and 133A on hand currently. I can't access the rest untill the winter vacation in Jan 2009 when I go back home, so maybe I could try the 133A first?
You are right on the KT600. After hours' googling, I realize that I won't be able to find any datasheet online. And I am thinking about contacting the VIA. Did they cooperate?
And for the 133A. Well, actually I'm not quite sure it is a 133A. The board has a 38L3456 and a VT82C596B but I heard some said 38L3456 is replaecement for VT82C964. Do you know about that? The superIO is FDC37M813, which seems not supported yet.

There is already some working code for 810/815 in v2 so that's where I would recommend you to start.
