Basic hardware documentation
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?

Hi Christoph I consider this a really good idea. It would help the beginners to understanding a lot of things. Rafael Em seg, 7 de out de 2019 às 06:53, Christoph Pomaska via coreboot < coreboot@coreboot.org> escreveu:

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 As I mentioned in another thread, this information is currently very disparate and out of date and can only really discovered by asking on this mailing list.

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. Petr Dne 08. 10. 19 v 9:01 Matt B napsal(a):

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. On 10/7/19 5:52 AM, Christoph Pomaska via coreboot wrote:

What do other people think of that? 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. Denis.
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 Em qui, 10 de out de 2019 15:42, Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli < GNUtoo@cyberdimension.org> escreveu:
