Support for two in-development Rockchip motherboard designs have been added to Coreboot for possible use in Chrome OS devices.

There's already been support for some Rockchip ARM SoCs within Coreboot via the Veyron series and two more were added today: Veyron Mickey and Veyreon Romy as the newest codenames, both of which were based off Veyron Brain.

This is just the initial work for Romy and Mickey with additional commits to Coreboot expected in the days ahead by the Google / Chrome OS engineers.
