Please see the "Desktops / Workstations" section of the [[Supported Motherboards|list of supported mainboards]]. You can also have a look at the "Server" section, as the differences between desktop/server are not always very big.

chipsets are good candidates for new mainboards. All or most components are supported already, so adding coreboot support for such a mainboard should be relatively easy.

Revision as of 00:37, 26 September 2010

coreboot already supports various desktop/workstation-type mainboards, but we intend to support more of them in the future, of course.

This page documents which desktop mainboards are being worked on or are good candidates for future support, where you can buy them etc.

Candidate desktop mainboards for support in the future

Mainboards with

  • AMD K8/Fam10 + AMD RS780 / SB700
  • AMD K8/Fam10 + AMD RS690 / SB600
  • Intel 945 / ICH7
  • AMD K8 + NVIDIA MCP55
  • AMD K8 + NVIDIA CK804
  • AMD K8 + VIA K8T890 / VT8237R/S
  • VIA CN700 / VT8237R/S
  • VIA CX700
  • AMD K8 + SiS 761GX/966(L)

chipsets are good candidates for new mainboards. All or most components are supported already, so adding coreboot support for such a mainboard should be relatively easy. Please contact us on the mailing list if you intend to work on such a board or if you want to help with testing.
