Hum, i'm not yet able to help here, I don't know sufficiently the LX
chipset, nor do I have the time to dwell on this particular topic.

I have in mind a particular application for this board, and I want to be
able to catch very early events (like a press on the only button on the
mainboard and/or a series of power cycle (4 power cycles without booting the
kernel for example) to trigger the boot of an alternate kernel/partition. I
think of implementing this in a filo-derivative, which I should happily
contribute, if it happens to interest someone.

For now, coreboot boots this board correctly.

Ah, one last thing: I posted the board support details for the Wiki in a
previous post. Can someone with the rights to do so update it to reflect the
support ?

Thanks.
