I have three year old source code based on LinuxBIOS that supports this board. Our code was never submitted, because another CK804 port of LinuxBIOS was completed and submitted before ours. Three years ago, I didn't have any trouble getting technical information for the nVidia CK804 chipset. An NDA was required. nVidia was very easy to work with, especially while reviewing our source code. We were provided with good support by nVidia. --- CK804 code in official LinuxBIOS source code --- The nVidia CK804 chipset is definitely supported by coreboot. See ./src/southbridge/nvidia/ck804/. What happened to the mainboard and target files of the nVidia CK804 CRB board? Did someone remove them from the coreboot repository? I also have a snapshot of the official LinuxBIOS code right after the other CK804 port was officially submitted (three years ago). It contains ./src/mainboard/nvidia/nf4crb, so the CK804 mainboard files were in the official tree. However, I see no evidence that the target files were in that snapshot, but I assumed that they were added later.
