Hello! Nah, not that one. Ron is stressing a point that if someone, myself, wants to try and get coreboot running on something, instead of a six and seven, even eight year old hardware, or even older in some cases, I should target one of the Chromebox family members.
Back about the time the fellow that Carl-Daniel mentioned brought up the subject, I was looking at doing that, because I needed a special purpose platform, for, ah, special purposes.
Back then Linux was target limited, and even the RasPi platform hadn't even been envisioned. ARM was just beginning to take off, but platforms were scarce.
I originally looked at one of the Geode based platforms, because it had several uncommitted I/O points on it, but the idea behind it wasn't successful.
I only asked about them yesterday, because there's been no discussion whatsoever within the past few years. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
