coreboot on amd g34 platforms

[Alexandr Frolov]

Hello all,

Is there any activities to support coreboot for AMD G34 motherboards?

Best regards,
Alexander

Not that I know of, but the chipset should be theoretically supported.
You'd have to check the source tree and the datasheet to see if the PCI
IDs match.

I know the CPU code will need some work (most likely minor) to support
the CPUs.

Tthere migth also be an issues with the HT routing (northbridge code);
I'm not really sure about this one.

I'd love to see G34 up and running with coreboot, but it will take some
work. You're most definitely welcome to give it a try (I don't have the
hardware or I would have already started). :)

Could someone recommend any guide to porting coreboot on new platforms? 
In documentation I have found 'coreboot on AMD64'. Anything else 
worthwhile reading?

In another thread [1] Alex recommended to watch »coreboot: Adding
support for a system near you« from Peter Stuge [2].

Otherwise I think documentation is not complete and you will not come
around reading the source code.

Thanks,

Paul

Hello Alexander,

AMD recently provided reference code for that processor.
That is a huge step in the right direction.

Thanks,
