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!

Adding a new board
This is a two step process. If you mainboard already exists, skip to next section.
Adding a new vendor
Create a directory in src/mainboard with the same name as vendor name. Add to src/mainboard/Kconfig new vendor entry, the rest of this example uses "foo" vendor.
config VENDOR_FOO
bool "Foo"
Add also a include for new Kconfig file which holds the vendor motherboards in the vendor directory

Create a src/mainboard/foo/Kconfig, copy from other vendor, and change the vendor name. Delete all mainboards.

Asume that vendor name is foo and board type is bar. Add new configuration item in src/mainboard/foo/Kconfig
