I'm trying to port coreboot to an Intel D945GCLF desktop board. Has anyone else worked on porting coreboot to it?
I noticed the following coreboot mailing list message suggesting that its single DIMM slot could be an issue:

Numerous mainboards support a single DIMM with coreboot. What's the issue with the D945GCLF having just one DIMM?
Does anyone have suggestions on porting coreboot to the D945GCLF?
Sincerely,
Ken Fuchs

Yes, we have a half done port sitting around. Cache-As-Ram is working nicely for the Atom, but it does not survive ram init yet.

Not anymore. The 1DIMM issue was solved a while back...
The issue is that the chipset requires different values in basically all the lookup tables in the ram init code (like drive strength) because it's not the mobile version of the chipset. (src/northbridge/i945/raminit.c) This also requires some work on the chipset detection part in the i945 code.
