[coreboot] Is Coreboot architecture dipendent ?

[ingegneriaforense at alice.it]

Hello everybody,

It's the time for me to install Coreboot on one of my machine. It seems a very big design !

Please, can you tell me if Coreboot is motherboard architecture dependent or simply I can download it, compile and flash the .rom file in the Bios chip ?

I will do the first test on a PC with motherboard: MSI MS-7168 ver. 1C mounting an AMD Athlon 64 Processor.

Is it necessary I compile Coreboot on the PC where I want to install it ?

Is Coreboot RAM dependent ? That is, can I start-up the PC with only the Processor and the BIOS chip, without RAM and hard-disk ?

Thanks in advance. 

I hope to hear you soon.

Best Regards.

Vincenzo.
