[coreboot] MSC board CXB-A945M

[Wolfgang Schaefer]

Hello all,

I'm trying to get coreboot to work on a MSC COM Express Module: CXB-A945M.
< http://www.msc-ge.com/en/produkte/com/com_express/cxb_a945m.html >

My knowledge from this board is:
CPU: Intel Atom N270 1.6GHz
Northbridge 945GME
Southbridge ICH7M DH
superIOchip FDC37N972
PhoenixBIOS: BIOS Version V2.00
HW revision 1.1

Please find attached the output from flashrom and superiotool.

The current PhoenixBIOS takes nearly 15 seconds to boot. This is too
much for us!
We aspire to boot linux and start our application under 20 seconds.

What we need from the board environment is:
USB
AC97
LAN
LVDS
PATA for CF-Card
I2C
RTC

Now my question: can I get coreboot to work with this board and what
can/must I do?

Best Regards,
Wolfgang
