HP Pavillion 1035DX (same chipset as G505S. See notes above)

<li>
- add roda rk9 support (contact nico to ask for more details about hw).
- This is GM45 but these machines do not have a descriptor (no ME), should be easy
+ Thinkpad E135 and Thinkpad E145 - port to coreboot. Apparently, the CPU used is based on the E350 (zacate)
+ CPU used is the ASrock E350M1 which is in coreboot, and already a libreboot candidate.
+ Blob situation is unknown, though it will probably rely on AGESA if ported and will probably need SMU firmware
+ or Video BIOS (which must be replaced). It is unknown what other blobs may exist when ported, and whether
+ or not this system will work reliably without the CPU microcode updates.
<ul>
- <li>This board lacks native graphics initialization (it should be easy to add in Kconfig files,

+ F2A85-M and E350M1 (libreboot_*_headless.rom). Test openatom (video BIOS replacement). SMU firmware is a problem. XHCI firmware is a problem.

- ThinkPad W500: they all use switchable graphics (ATI+Intel), the native init code in coreboot (for Intel)

- port acer aspire 5738 to coreboot (gm45)? (and then libreboot). EC is the main blocker (no support in coreboot yet).
- ME isn't an issue, because its GM45 so it could be removed (it looks like this machine might also be shipped in
- non-descriptor mode by default, like the roda rk9).
- Search <b>jv50 block diagram filetype:pdf</b> for schematics.
- (jv50 is written on the board); noone seems to have found any documentation for the EC chip, but
- maybe it could be sufficiently reverse engineered via serialice and ectool.
