Thank you, AMD!

Getting code like this through all the technical, legal and business
hurdles and out the door requires herculean effort. Here's hoping it
helps AMD sell lots and lots of chips.

Awesome!

Thanks AMD - It's really a great pleasure to see that released.

Keep going with such great open policy steps.
Open specifications of ATI graphic devices was the first great deal, and now 
coreboot support on recent chips is just really cool.

This is really great news.
Thank you so much!
Please pass on our thanks to everybody who made this possible.

It has been suggested that coreboot should be ported to a sizable number
of AMD RS780 series mainboards during Google Summer of Code 2010. Are
there any suggestions from you (AMD) for boards we should start with,
i.e. server/consumer/enthusiast/embedded boards, or maybe boards which
are envisioned to have a long life or big market share?

Are any press releases planned about this big code contribution or
should we wait until a bunch of mainboards has been ported?

Regards,
Carl-Daniel

hi carl,
   i think we can choose a bunch of RS780 series mainboard, then porting
coreboot to each of them. Anyway, it's impossible of mass-porting all of the
RS780 series mainboard

Hi,

I would suggest something from Gigabyte, as they're easily the best all
around motherboards currently available, especially regarding parts quality.

This model might be worth looking into:

http://www.gigabyte.pt/products/mb/specs/ga-ma78gm-ud2h_10.html

Since it's one that only has a revision available, whereas it's not the case
with other models.
They also have ATX models, which might also be of interest.

Best regards,
Tiago

Hello,

I own a GA-MA785GT-UD3H ( 
http://www.gigabyte.de/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID... 
) but unfortunately it uses 785G / SB710. SB710 seems to be supported by Zheng 
Bao's patch but I am unsure about 785G.

Are there any marjor differences between RS780 and RS880 except for the 
graphics part? I am afraid that there are too many to support it easily...

Kind regards

Ole

It works, check my thread about the Asrock board. The SB700 code will work on
any SB7xx fhe RS785 has same PCIids except the graphics chip, which is rv620 and
not rv610. I just added the ID and it does work it seems.

But that Gigabyte board is DDR3 - didn't Zheng say that was not supported
with fam10 CPUs yet?

Thanks,
Ward.

No DDR3 yet but I hope that we can support it soon.

Hi folks !

With this fantastic news I just want to notice that Asrock make a motherboard very intersting AMD780G integration with a SPI 8-pin socketed bios. It's cheap too, 60€

Here a link : http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=A780GMH/128M
