Hi,
I have been following the mailinglist for some time now (several months) I have noticed that there is alot of active development.
I represent a System Integration company (Synrax) based in Australia however, I have also been in contact with my manufacturers and have managed to capture their interest regarding LinuxBIOS. These manufacturers include:
Axiomtek (http://www.axiomtek.com.tw) Iwill (http://www.iwill.net) Evalue (http://www.evalue-tech.com)
Axiomtek and Evalue produce embedded SBCs whilst Iwill products Server/Workstation mainboards.
My question is, what type of support documentation and/or other information is required to take LinuxBIOS to an even greater level?
I wish to try/port LinuxBIOS to as many different boards as I can (time/resources permitting). Unfortunately, BIOS level programming is a relatively new area for me so my contributions may be limited to testing and providing documentation (where possible) initially.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
Regards, Ben Wang Senior Applications Engineer, Synrax Australia Pty. Ltd.
Add Tyan to that list.
Support documentation--HOWTOs are always nice. There are so many possible combinations of mainboards and variatous revisions of different mainboards and flash parts that it's impossible for any single party to test them all. If you get around to building and installing LinuxBIOS for your machine, we'd like to hear about your experience and details about which parts work.
And you should add Tyan (http://www.tyan.com) to your list. Dr. Lu has contributed a lot to the project and the S2885 has shown to be a very capable workstation and server mainboard.

And yes, Tyan is so important that I mentioned them twice.
