Basic hardware documentation

[Christoph Pomaska]

Hi,

I had the idea of contributing basic information about hardware
components to the coreboot documentation
in the style of "What is Super I/O?" and similar.

What do other people think of that?

Best regards

Hi Christoph

I consider this a really good idea. It would help the beginners to
understanding a lot of things.

Hello,

Adding to this, it would also be good to have what
CPUs/chipsets/superIOs/etc coreboot supports. As I mentioned in another
thread, this information is currently very disparate and out of date and
can only really discovered by asking on this mailing list.

Sincerely,
    -Matt

Hi,

I'm considering to innovate kontron 986LCD-M wiki page. According to the new wiki it should be generated from /Documentation subdir of the coreboot source tree.

I had a similar idea of including a glossary with explanations at the 
highest level possible.  Especially for the acronyms like IFD, GBE, ME, 
SOIC, CBFS, SPL which could be overwhelming for newbies. I wonder if 
Sphinx has a plugin that would automatically link terms in a glossary 
and even display the definition on mouse over.

I vaguely remember that there was a website with an online
"course"/pages on the PC legacy architecture and Coreboot but I don't
remember the link.

It talked about the PIC, ISA bus and Coreboot at the end.

If it's under a free software documentation license it might be a good
basis to start from.

Hi Denis

Are talking about this:
https://lennartb.home.xs4all.nl/coreboot/coreboot.html

It is a really good documentation by the way :)

Thanks
Rafael
