Hi Andrey,

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?
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 ;)
