[coreboot] Is Coreboot architecture dipendent ?

[Philipp Stanner]

Dear Vincenco,

coreboot is extremely architecture dependent. It's hardcore low-level
code, maybe lower than the Operating System (or Windows) itself.

You can configure the makefile for your platform using menuconfig or
kconfig. De facto Lenovo's thinkpads are the only customer-IT-devices
which are supported very well.

Regards,

Philipp
