I'm sure this has been discussed on this list already, but I couldn't find a comprehensive statement in the archives yet. If there is one, I would be happy to be pointed there.
It seems that the coreboot-v3 tree has now been obsoleted by coreboot and hasn't seen any update anymore since August 09. However, what happend to the 'stable' branch doesn't seem to be a merge of all the new shiny features. In paricular, I miss support there for ALIX2 boards.
So what's the verdict? Things should be ported now from v3 to stable?
Thanks, Daniel

To summarize: coreboot v3 is the branch you want to use for any GeodeLX target.

Sort of, yes. v2 is slowly getting some v3 features, but the GeodeLX code is among the stuff not yet ported. Given that v3 works fine for a lot of GeodeLX targets, there's no real motivation to backport that code.

..just now. But it would be welcomed. Others are also interested in getting the best of the Geode support in v3 into trunk.
