Datasheets
The wiki is being retired!
Documentation is now handled by the same processes we use for code: Add something to the Documentation/ directory in the coreboot repo, and it will be rendered to https://doc.coreboot.org/. Contributions welcome!
This page lists publically available datasheets and programming guides from various vendors. It includes CPU, chipset, Super I/O, and many other datasheets.
If datasheets are expected to become public in the near future, they may get listed as well to make sure people know what to expect.

There are many datasheet archives on the web which may have other (usually older) datasheets which already disappeared from vendor websites.
