Hello,
I have overflashed my machine and bought a second one to copy the BIOS onto the first one. Unfortunatelly, it does not work because of the serial numberization of the BIOS and hardware. Additionally, the mainboard has some damage, too. HP does not give any support, probably because they do not want to develop the issue; so I can see to install anything on the machine as of they do not respond. I can see as the only and best solution is using coreboot: it is public, no strictions, I can set the configuration of the boot process and I can participate in the development.
I am working on Raspbian and if the machines can boot I would like to run Debian as an operating system. I have litle experience but much time and effort to work on the project. I have downloaded coreboot and QEMU on my small machine and I plan to use flashrom to write an EEPROM on the Raspberry. My father and I installed the connector on the board, the eeprom and the small connector assembly will be in hand soon.
First question is that how I can download i965, i82801 libraries under the coreboot structure to see it in menuconfig as chipset?
Thank you in advance, reddragon

alas, you seem very unfortunate. i965 is not supported by coreboot, yet. You'd have to write that from scratch, with very limited documentation available. You can add roughly a year to your efforts (for somebody who isn't experienced with firmware development, there's a lot to learn first).
I hope that doesn't scare you off. Though, getting started with coreboot is much easier if you choose a device with supported chipset. Or even a device with an already supported mainboard.

Thank you for your answer.

Btw initial i965 support patches were submitted to gerrit a while ago (bunled inside a large new mainboard patch unfortunately). Using them could simplify things a little.

Hello,
however I am interested on a ready-to-use solution I still have a lot to learn about coreboot and programs used and using coreboot. In the last night I visited coreboot homepage and tested fx440 chipset. It was interesting and learningful, but it takes some time I can program an EEPROM with this mainboards. Maybe sometime sooner I can make tests if the compatibility good enough. As my first experiences shows I must agree on that I can do useful work for coreboot only later.
