Greetings, I'd like to know if there's a chance I can get coreboot to run on an old Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook B-2175 I own. As it uses the Intel 440mx chipset, here are links to the (complete I think?) official documentation: http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/designex/273504.htm http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/245051.htm http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/datashts/440MX-66DSPub.htm http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/embedded/docs/440mx.htm
And the data I got from probing with the tools I found on your site, lspci and dmesg.
Thanks for your time in advance. Said.
./flashrom -------------------- Calibrating delay loop... OK. No coreboot table found. Found chipset "Intel 440MX", enabling flash write... OK. MBM29F400TC found at physical address 0xfff80000. Flash part is MBM29F400TC (512 KB). No operations were specified.

I'd like to know if there's a chance I can get coreboot to run on an old Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook B-2175 I own. As it uses the Intel 440mx chipset, here are links to the (complete I think?) official documentation: http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/designex/273504.htm http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/specupdt/245051.htm http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/datashts/440MX-66DSPub.htm http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/embedded/docs/440mx.htm
Yep, documentation is available and it _could_ be done (chipset is very similar to 440BX and 82371EB), but...
The main problem will be that in order to do this, you'll have to have a socketed BIOS chip (i.e. one which is not soldered onto the mainboard, but rather in a socket, so it can be removed/replaced without soldering).
Have you opened and checked if that's the case on this laptop? I had a very similar device and there the flash ROM was soldered, and _very_ hard to access physically.
(don't attempt to open your laptop unless you know what you're doing)
./flashrom
Calibrating delay loop... OK. No coreboot table found. Found chipset "Intel 440MX", enabling flash write... OK. MBM29F400TC found at physical address 0xfff80000. Flash part is MBM29F400TC (512 KB). No operations were specified.
Looks, ok, same chip as on my laptop. Detecting and reading the chip worked for me, but I didn't attempt writing (as I have no means of recovery in case it fails).
You shouldn't try it either, you won't be able to reflash another BIOS easily (boot floppy disks won't help at all, btw).

Not a problem, the Super I/O support is doable.

Hey,
Yeah I had a look at front and back of the mainboard and although I wasn't able to identify the bios, I did find all chips to be soldered.
Well, I guess that means there's no way for me to try coreboot with that notebook then. :S
Anyway.
Regards, Said.
PS: I don't know if it's of any use, but I found this list while searching for information on the topic (http://www.elhof.de/Files/Devicelisten/Minato/DL_M1890.pdf)

This is a TSOP package which is a little hack unfriendly.
Soldering skill is needed, and sockets aren't very easy to come by.
Using the FLASH-PLAICE or similar ROM emulator is an option but would require lots of tiny soldering work.
