Beginner mobo..which of them?

[Marcello Stanisci]

Hi, and thanks for welcoming me in this ml.
I would like to buy a motherboard for build a new computer
and at the same time for study how coreboot works.
I'm looking for a fully (coreboot) supported mobo with a very simple
architecture and well documented.. In a few words: suitable for a first approach.

Can anyone help me? Which models are ok?

I'm a huge fan of the gizmosphere. It's quite open. If you want a
laptop like system, then I still like the $200 Acer C7 chromebook,
extremely hackable.
I like these two systems because they come with coreboot as their
standard configuration.

Other folks here will doubtless have good ideas too.

I guess the best way to study the internals is to make a port where some
of the components are already supported.

Define fully.

I’ll try to answer that after your response.

Thanks,

Nothing special..just a personal computer

I mean that the ideal mobo works entirely with software from coreboot,  
without binary proprietary parts.

Easy to study, or minimal..
