Like I have said before these types of policies are eventually going to result in coreboot only having unobtainable development boards in the tree (that are of course not owner controlled) It simply isn't right. How can one learn firmware programming when all the available boards have hardware

This is a great board that many use and it DOES work - it needs a status update ASAP to prevent it from being removed in the next release. I am unable to do this myself as I use mine for an important router. At the rate things are going soon there will be no non-development boards that are still

Re: [coreboot] Gigabyte MB to Test

Like nico said it would be quite difficult to do this yourself and not really worth the time, and for the price of contracting someone else or even spending the time yourself (vs working overtime hours) you could buy lots of boards with already done open source firmware that works perfectly.
