Hi C Grossarth,
Well, the Win variant will have a different EC for a start, so if you're expecting to be able to build and flash coreboot for the Chromebook variant with minimal changes, you will probably struggle. Other people will know much more what's required than I though - I just have reasonably high-level knowledge, not nuts and bolts.
Regards,
John.

Hello All,
I have been exploring coreboot, and have successfully built and flashed it on a MacBook 2,1. Initially I was using Libreboot, but wanted more control over the end result.
I bought a Lenovo ChromeBook Yoga 11e 1st Gen), but swiftly returned it after I realized the product description on Lenovo's page mislabeled it as having SSD and RAM modules. The ChromeBook version has eMMC and soldered on RAM.
The Windows 10 version of the same variety (Intel Celeron N2930) has a SSD and a replaceable/upgradeable RAM module. The ChromeBook variant is codenamed Glimmer.
I would like to know what steps would be necessary to build and flash coreboot onto the Win10 board. Most importantly, how would I go about extracting the information so that I can edit the Glimmer config overlays to reflect the hardware config in the Win10 variant?
Many Thanks in advance,
C Grossarth.
Thanks for the swift reply.
I didn't say I thought this would be easy. I know porting to a new board isn't a trivial task but that's what we try to do here, no?
Do you know of a tool for extracting the EC for comparison?
And if there are any nuts and bolts folks out there, I'd like to hear ideas.
Struggle is my middle name.
Best,
C. "Struggle" Grossarth
