proprietary componemts status
- VSA (LGPL but require a microsoft compiler...code need to be converted, openvsa froze the board during boot...).
- has a free video option rom that can be generated by seabios, i didn't succeed at getting it executed
TODO
- Add cbmem -c support
- Add ACPI support
- make seabios detect the USB hard disks at boot
features
- compatible with nvramtool
Recovery
- There is an LPC dongle with a socketed second BIOS chip in it, it can probably be bought or lent by the company making the card.
GNU/Linux Installation
- To install a GNU/Linux distro on the compact flash card without an external reader,and because keyboard is not working in coreboot/SeaBIOS, I compiled coreboot in verbose mode, and put the card in the slot after coreboot said to press F12, and before the linux kernel started. I booted on an ipxe network card and installed parabola.
- I could have used sgabios instead and pressed F12, and have booted on an ipxe network card and installed parabola
