it's an ARM. There was a primitive memory test in the early days of our ARM
ports that might be useful. It was simple but it caught our problems.

How about MemTest86? See this link http://www.coreboot.org/Memtest86, I
never use it before.

Hi,
I'm now porting coreboot to CubieTruck, a development board with an
Allwinner A20 SoC. I use Mr.Nuke's code[1] and Allwinner's user manual for
reference.However, when I modified the code and tested with the board, the
console gave only two lines of message and it get stuck. So I thought DRAM
init failed. I put some printks at bootblock_media.c, and found the bug
occurs at line 118[2], which showed the access of a certain memory space
caused the error. So I need to know how to check if the DRAM init works.
Thanks

The ADL855PC is an embedded module that is using the i855GME chipset
(the same as the Getac W130 as far as I remember).
Last I checked, the 855 port was not very good, but there's probably
nothing in the way of attempting to write a port for that laptop.
You should make sure you have some means of recovering your flash chip
back to something working, because writing a port and getting a system
booting typically takes a few tries ;)

Hello,
I am trying to estimate amount of effort to make an old military Getac
to work with coreboot (currently it runs Insyde with computrace-style
code). All currently supported boards, lanner/em8510 and
digitallogic/adl855pc are desktops, which means that I should play
with EC support almost from scratch. Given the fact that i855G(M) was
quite popular in P-M era, are there any real issues standing behind
lack of support of a simular mobile platform in a tree?
Thanks in advance!
