From: Neo The User neotheuser@ymail.com Subject: Re: [coreboot] Here is my new board. Can coreboot be implemented on it? To: coreboot@coreboot.org Specifically the GIGABYTE GA-MA785GM-US2H, as its only $70 ($85 when not on sale) USD which isn't exactly that much for a relatively good motherboard.
Sorry I forgot to add, that this price is listed on newegg. Also this board has 2 BIOS chips, M BIOS (main BIOS) and B BIOS (back-up) so in case coreboot bricks your motherboard, you can simply turn it on, and hold (or quickly tap) the reset button down for 10 seconds right after you let go of the power button, and B BIOS will start up and reflash M BIOS. You can also bridge pins 4 (GND) and 7 (#HOLD) and this will force the re-flash.

Our board is custom made, and we have a sbc on com express. This let us develope custom board relativly cheaply, that host SBC with Intel CPU. If you can come up with com express sbc, I'll take it, Amd or Intel. My problem is that all the supported SBC boards, are low in performance.

I'm not sure how do define performance but there is an AMD 785E/sb820 Com Express board http://tinyurl.com/4szzmy5
This should not take too much effort to support. You might have to do some soldering/desoldering with the SPI flash and spend a few hours/days with tweaks. There are also a few 690/600 Com Express boards.
