Hi Guys,
I saw that Alix1.c is supported by Coreboot v3. Is it hard to port the support for Alix2c3? The chipset is the same with Alix1.c. Or is it better to port Coreboot v2 to this board?
The board comes with tinyBIOS but if I couldn't handle the current problem with tinyBIOS, I might port coreboot instead.
Regards,

I've just committed a port for the Alix.2c3 to the v3 tree. It's not perfect yet (some irq issues to be resolved), but other than that it works.
See revision 663 or higher.
Thanks, Ward.

I get a 'nobody cares' kernel panic during boot on IRQ 12, which is assigned to both the USB ports and eth2. The system does boot fine though, and while the usb ports and eth2 are unuseable, the rest of it is fine.
Tinybios sets the USB ports to another IRQ (it's internal to the cs5536), but we can't do that yet from v3. Marc said he was going to look into doing something about that, but I think he's swamped with other work.
Thanks, Ward.

we can set that up. Let me know what IRQs we should use, and we'll try to fix.
