This board is a hard one to start out with i would say.
You should look in to getting the documentation for the SIS 620 chip set. I see that the SIS 630 is supported by Coreboot v1 so you might want to look in to porting that to v4 and then the SIS 620.

Hi,
I think I may also have such a no-name motherboard based on this chipset so I may join you in this effort (I must check, though).
I took a look at the datasheets of both 620 and 630 chipsets and from what I can tell after a short look at them, they seem to be very different. This means it needs to be done from scratch eventually.
In order to get support for the motherboard, we need to have support for the following components: -ITE IT8661F SuperIO (already supported by coreboot) -SiS5595 southbridge -SiS620 northbridge
The first step is to get serial output out of the motherboard for debugging, by getting the SuperIO to work, then implement support for the other components according to their datasheets.
Regards, Cristian
