Intel's "reference design" for these two is called the
"Menlow" platform. For more Intel codename definitions

Comments:
Assuming that technical documentation is available for
Atom/Poulsbo, is it feasible to port coreboot (aka
LinuxBIOS) to Atom/Poulsbo?
Given that this port will support both a new processor
and a new single support chip (as opposed to a northbridge
and southbridge chipset), what kind of development effort
might be required?
Is anyone else interested in such a port?
Any suggestions and comments are welcome.
Sincerely,
Ken Fuchs
