Abit AX8 - Support

[mama fua]

Hello, it's my first e-mail here on coreboot mailing list. I would like to
ask if there is someone already working or interested on supporting the
mainboard Abit AX8. It has these components:

-Socket 939
-Northbridge K8T890
-Southbridge VT8237
-SuperIO Winbond W83627HF

All already supported by coreboot. One thing that may cause problems is the
device uGuru, that controls voltage memory and overclocking.

So, as a student of computer engineering, I would like to help support this
board, but I have no previous experience with BIOS or coreboot. It would be
better if I found someone already working on the board and contribute with
something I'm capable of.

Anyone interested?

Thanks in advance,
Lucas.

What is the uGuru?

I suggest you start out with a board that is as similar as possible to
the Abit AX8 and keep changing it until it works..

If you have specific questions, we'll gladly try to help as good as
possible here on the list.

Always!

Good luck,
