Sure, two heads are always better than one :-)
No not specialist knowledge, like anything it just takes a little time
to learn how the code flows.
The best way to start would be to find a board as close to yours as
possible and adapt it.
Unfortunately, I am mid processes on several other projects and won't be
able to get to this until I complete them. Which may be a few months
from now. But if you want to get started, feel free, I am here to answer
any questions you may have :-)

Hi,
I noticed the wiki supported chipsets page has listed under the southbrigde
section "AMD RS690" and "AMD RS780/RS785?". But RS690 and RS780 are
northbridges, not southbridges, and there is no RS785.
Sorted by codename, the chipsets I can find are*
Codename Product Name Documentation?
RS690 AMD 690G chipset x[2]
RS690C AMD 690V chipset x[2]
RS690E AMD M690E chipset x[2]
RS690M AMD M690 chipset x[2]
RS690MC AMD M690V chipset x[2]
RS690T AMD M690T chipset x[2]
RS740 AMD 740G chipset
RX740 AMD 740 chipset
RD780 AMD 790X chipset
RS780 AMD 780G chipset x[1]
RS780C AMD 780V chipset x[1]
RS780D AMD 790GX chipset x[1]
RS780E AMD 780E chipset x[1]
RS780L AMD 760G chipset
RS780M AMD M780G chipset x[1]
RS780MC AMD M780V chipset x[1]
RX780 AMD 770 chipset
RX781 AMD M770 chipset x[1]
RD790 AMD 790FX chipset
RS880 AMD 785G chipset
* Cobbled together from wikipedia and amd documentation
[1] http://www.coreboot.org/Datasheets#AMD_RS780
[2] http://www.coreboot.org/Datasheets#AMD_RS690
As far as I can tell (though I haven't looked heavily), AMD northbridges are the
only ones to use separate code/product names. Since the product names are likely
more well-known, I suggest the following:
Move "RS690" to northbridges, and rename it to "690G/V, M690/E/V/T"
Move "RS780/RS785?" to northbridges, and rename it to "780E/G/V, 790GX, M770,
M780G/V"
Now, that assumes that support for these actually exists. I only see one
motherboard on the supported motherboards page that uses a 690G, and none that
uses a 700-series chipset. Does anyone know the actual status?
And for all the 700-series without documentation, should they be in the list for
clarity, as either WIP or NO with a footnote saying they're similar but
documentation hasn't been released?

So you advice me to install coreboot on it?
the motherboard is not mentioned on the website, but the chipset is!
Thanks.

that would be very good, if you can mail me the board. But i would like to
try order one first.
