an AMD based platform

[ali hagigat]

I want to ask the experts about an AMD based motherboard to research
on Coreboot, what you recommend will be valuable or please tell me
what motherboard in the list of supported motherboards of
Wiki-Coreboot is more modern and close to the following attributes:

I am looking for a motherboard with CPU and chip set similar to Intel.
For CPU,  I want it to have IA-32 and IA-32e architecture, I mean 32
bit machine with 64 bit extension to support 32 and also 64 bits
applications, with Vtx (virtual machine capability), muti-core, and
SIMD instructions with front side bus.

About Chipset, I want it to have regular logics of USB, SATA,
PCIExpress, SDRAM controller, FWH/SPI protocol for BIOS chip, PCI
bridge, IOAPIC, Integrated Graphics Controller, real time clock, LPC
interface,....a relatively modern board and superio with open
documentation.

Thank you to read my message.

If I were you, I would research the socket AM3 boards like the following:
amd/tilapia_fam10
asus/m4a785-m
gigabyte/ma785gmt

You might also find something useful in the socket AM2 boards:
amd/mahogany
amd/mahogany_fam10
amd/pistachio
asus/m2v-mx_se
gigabyte/ga_2761gxdk
gigabyte/m57sli
gigabyte/ma78gm
iei/kino-780am2-fam10
jetway/pa78vm5
msi/ms7260

BTW, I found the socket AM3 boards with the following command in the
root of my coreboot working copy:
$ for d in $(for f in $(rgrep -l AM3 src/mainboard/); do dirname $f;
done); do echo ${d##src/mainboard/}; done | sort -u

Thanks,

There are good choices. A bonus of choosing an AMD RS780/SB700 system
is that you can use AMD simnow to debug. For learning coreboot, I chose
ECS A780GM-M3. This board can boot both family 0Fh and family 10h
processors. For coreboot work I am using only the newer family 10h
processor. I based the coreboot port on mahogany_fam10.

Thanks,
