The wiki is being retired!
Documentation is now handled by the same processes we use for code: Add something to the Documentation/ directory in the coreboot repo, and it will be rendered to https://doc.coreboot.org/. Contributions welcome!
This page describes how to use coreboot on the ASUS P2B-DS mainboard. It is maintained by Uwe Hermann.

Build tutorial
$ svn co svn://coreboot.org/repos/trunk/coreboot-v2 $ cd coreboot-v2/targets $ ./buildtarget asus/p2b-ds $ cd asus/p2b-ds/p2b-ds
Now copy your payload in the current directory and name it payload.elf. Then:
$ make -s
The resulting coreboot.rom is your coreboot ROM image you can flash using flashrom.
