== coreboot ARM SoC's mainboard port ==
 
While the links below are still relevant, there's now a coreboot port for ARM Exynos5. It was contributed by Google and the chip is used in a Chromebook. The port isn't quite done, but some of the heavy lifting is done, so ports to other SoCs should be easier.

[[ARM]] SoC's with PCIe are available. These systems can take advantage of coreboot's strength in properly configuring PCI devices, fast boot time and payload support.
Note that coreboot has in the past supported three different CPUs (x86, Alpha, PPC), so the structure is there for adding in a new processor family. We will need to find the right platform to do the work, but I (Ron) can provide a board and JTAG debugger if needed.
There was an ARM project started in 2011:
