What I most want is the documentation IN THE CODE, so that make
documentation gives you the docs for that motherboard.

And one can easily take these material and produce a good formal one out of

btw, don't forget
make documentation
when you have built a target. If you want to fix the comments on the
functions, we'll take the patches.

I will be happy to help in anything if need.
I think the same, with the documentation work distributed, a group can
analyse and check if is nothing wrong,
doing a CVS area for the revised documentation.

Other people probably know much more about this than me, but here's
my experience.
There seem to be two main parts to linuxbios. The first is
arch/{arch}/config/ctr0.base which does the very low level
initialization, like turning on memory, etc. The second is
arch/{arch}/lib/c_start.S which do

CPU starts out in "big real mode" at 0x, and most BIOSes
(linuxbios too) do a jump cs:ip to 0xf000:0x0, which pops the CPU into the
old 8086 real mode.

Agreed, I am also looking for a good documention.
Atleast the flow in terms of implemented functions
or assembly code and some kind of Do's and Dont's
if any.
One good advantage would be more and more people
would be easily aware about the code architecture and
would get invovled in LinuxBIOS if o
