You should monitor whatever email you provide in your application. There is no specific time-frame for how long it should take after you receive the email until you report the status of your board. You should make best efforts to respond within a few days. If you are the only maintainer for your board then please take into consideration that your input is especially vital.
Have External Flashing Equipment
The roms you test will of course be untested. To avoid having a bricked machine, you need to have external flashing equipment available for your board to recover from a broken rom.
In most cases you can refer to the SPI guide. In rarer cases -such as some ARM chromebooks- your board might be flashed in a different way. Refer to Coreboot's documentation or ask on IRC if you are unsure.
Testing Procedure
You will receive an email when roms are ready for testing. The email will link to an open issue on our current git hosting platform.
Whether you receive an email from a libreboot.org email domain or one of our developer's email you should verify (for your own security) that the downloaded roms are signed with the official key.
When your testing is complete, comment on the issue linked in the dispatch email as follows:
board: your board
status: pass/fail
note: [insert any notes if relevant]
For example, a board status comment might look like this:
board: t440p_12mb
status: fail
note: GRUB throws error 'something_is_b0rked'
