Isn't that board is from 1999? I don't think that would be useful.

I suggest the H8SCM ported to coreboot's native fam15h init, as you can 
pick one up for $30, they support IOMMU and the old but still fast 
enough to be useful C32 Opteron's.

EC is generally embedded on the motherboard and coreboot isn't that 
involved with it.

Not sure, I hope someone else will answer.

Instructions are on the wiki.

Depends on the CPU version.
Of course if you are looking to learn you can also port a pre-PSP AMD 
board which doesn't need any of this, I suggest this as there are some 
very cheap and widely available board models that are still new enough 
to be worth doing.
I also suggest the ivy bridge xeon counterpart, that would also be useful.

Hm? I use a USB CH341A with my removable dip8 chips and a test clip for 
the soic-8 chips.
> 5. Most coreboot projects don’t use tiano core to port them, but I am a OEM BIOS engineer and I already use tiano architecture 7 years, so I hope I can use tiano core to be payload, does everyone know which coreboot project does use tiano core to be payload?
You are able to pick a payload with any coreboot board.
