The list of supported hardware, and other information is available here:

https://doc.coreboot.org/mainboard/index.html


Of course with enough information you can always be able to run core-boot, the caveat being you have to write the code for it. On the off chance that you do, and it is working, please remember to push the changes. It's incredibly frustrating to have a report that says: 'yeah this works, just use this git commit that doesn't exist'. I wound up buying two F2A85-M main-boards only to find the code has mysteriously disappeared.

PS:

Guy's if the WiKi is unmaintained can we just get rid of it. Google loves directing people to it, and it's incredibly confusing / misleading.

I think you meant to ask if it's possible to do. That can't be answered without more information about the hardware... A lot more.

At a minimum the precise model of mainboard, or a precise model number.

Good morning I can install the coreboot firmware on my dell alienware 17 with Linux mint (updated to the latest version)?
