Great. I will submit my code after this weekend.<BR>
I can't wait the coming of the new era.<BR>

Zheng.<BR> <BR>> Date: Sat, 8 Aug 2009 03:14:43 +0200<BR>> From: c-d.hailfinger.devel.2006@gmx.net<BR>> To: coreboot-announce@coreboot.org<BR>> CC: coreboot@coreboot.org<BR>> Subject: [coreboot] AMD RS780 docs released, coreboot support coming<BR>> <BR>> The coreboot community, which includes government organizations,<BR>> corporations, research labs and individuals from around the world, is<BR>> very excited to expand on our existing and decade-long collaboration<BR>> with AMD. This collaboration has, over the years, resulted in the<BR>> inclusion of coreboot into everything from some of the largest AMD-based<BR>> supercomputers in the world to some of the smallest embedded systems.<BR>> <BR>> Together with the recent SB700/SB710/SB750 documentation release, the<BR>> Developer Guide release for the RS780 family of Integrated Chipset/<BR>> Graphics Processors enables the coreboot community to support any board<BR>> with AMD chipsets out there, from embedded to enthusiast desktop and<BR>> high-end server boards.<BR>> <BR>> This new release once again demonstrates AMD's commitment to open<BR>> standards and software that provides an improved user experience and<BR>> Total Cost of Ownership for users in every walk of life. One cornerstone<BR>> of this openness is the availability of documentation without NDA,<BR>> enabling everyone to contribute.<BR>> <BR>> Coreboot is a BIOS/EFI alternative with optional BIOS/EFI backwards<BR>> compatibility. Not only does coreboot enable extremely fast booting with<BR>> well under one second spent inside coreboot, and total four second boot<BR>> time from poweron to a working desktop, it also has superior reliability<BR>> and realtime performance. Coreboot developers have embedded various<BR>> operating systems, among them Linux and Plan 9, directly into onboard<BR>> ROM chips yielding systems without moving parts and built-in network<BR>> manageability. Virtualization is made easier by optionally embedding the<BR>> KVM hypervisor into the ROM as well. Military strength encryption and<BR>> access protection add-ons exist for environments where security is key.<BR>> Its extended diagnostics in plain English are second to none. Of course,<BR>> coreboot supports Windows XP/Vista/7 as well as Linux, *BSD and Plan 9.<BR>> <BR>> Coreboot is open source, so every interested developer or user can<BR>> modify, tweak and extend it to their heart's content.<BR>> <BR>> An additional benefit of this documentation release is flashrom support<BR>> for all AMD chipsets which enables users to reflash their<BR>> BIOS/firmware/coreboot from within Linux and *BSD without rebooting.<BR>> <BR>> Coreboot code for the SB700 and 780 chipset family is already being<BR>> worked on by Zheng Bao at AMD in his spare time and the coreboot<BR>> community is happy to work with him on finishing and integrating the<BR>> code into the official coreboot codebase.<BR>> <BR>> We'd like to thank Sharon Troia at AMD for making these documentation<BR>> releases possible.<BR>> <BR>> The developer guides are available at<BR>> http://developer.amd.com/documentation/guides/Pages/default.aspx#chipset<BR>> <BR>> More information about coreboot is available at http://www.coreboot.org/<BR>> <BR>> -- <BR>> coreboot mailing list: coreboot@coreboot.org<BR>> http://www.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot<BR><br /><hr />With Windows Live, you can organize, edit, and <a href='http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowslive/products/photo-gallery-edit.aspx' target='_new'>share your photos.</a></body>
