See the Build HOWTO for information on how to build coreboot for this board.

[edit] Comparing boot time

BIOS Power UP - OS loader OS loader - Linux Linux - shell Summary
Vendor BIOS (bzImage+initrd on CF) 8 2 2 12
Coreboot (bzImage+initrd on CF) 2 2 2 6
Coreboot (bzImage+initrd on 2MB flash) 2 2 2 6

[edit] Required patches

  • This patch is needed to enable the PC speaker.
  • This patch is needed to allow writing and erasing PM49FL004.
