hello list,

first of all, i'm new to coreboot, so please forgive me information eventually missing. i'm going to deliver every single peace needed and i'm willing to test, etc. i have a replacement bios ic over here for testing purposes.
i browsed the wikipages for getting some information whether my board is supported or not. not much of a surprise, it is not listed. :)
then i found the note in the faq telling me to use the mailinglist for some kind of request. so here it is:

STEP1:
- vendor: asus
- board name: at3n7a-i
- intel atom 330
- nvidia ion chipset

STEP6:
- AMI Bios
- removeable ic, not soldered

any chances that an available coreboot version would run on this system? if not are there any chances to see an adjusted coreboot version could be released?

best regards,
