== Supported platforms == CPU architectures supported by coreboot include [[IA-32]], [[x86-64]], [[ARM architecture family|ARM]], [[AArch64|ARM64]], [[MIPS architecture|MIPS]] and [[RISC-V]]. Supported [[system-on-a-chip]] (SOC) platforms include AMD [[Geode (processor)|Geode]], starting with the Geode GX processor developed for the [[One Laptop per Child|OLPC]]. Artec Group added Geode LX support for its [[ThinCan]] model DBE61; that code was adopted by AMD and further improved for the OLPC after it was upgraded to the Geode LX platform, and is further developed by the coreboot community to support other Geode variants. coreboot can be flashed onto a Geode platform using [[Flashrom (utility)|Flashrom]]. From that initial development on AMD Geode based platforms, coreboot support has been extended onto many AMD processors and chipsets. The processor list includes Family 0Fh and 10h ([[AMD K8|K8]] core), and recently Family 14h ([[Bobcat (microarchitecture)|Bobcat]] core, [[AMD APU|Fusion APU]]). coreboot support also extends to AMD chipsets: [[AMD 690 chipset series|RS690]], [[AMD 700 chipset series|RS7xx]], [[AMD 580 chipset series|SB600]], and SB8xx.
