Either board works with coreboot with minor tweaking. Compare the
chipset, memory type and super IO on boards. If coreboot supports the
devices then most of the work is already done. Gigabyte boards usually
have the dual BIOS device circuit that make flash programming a bit more
complicated. You might have to check if Flashrom ever was patched to
support it.
