I've had the intention to try the same thing and ask the same question. 
Meanwhile I was able to find 
http://www.coreboot.org/AMD_Geode_Porting_Guide which links to 
http://review.coreboot.org/gitweb?p=blobs.git;a=tree;f=cpu/amd/geode_lx 
where there is 'a' blob [0] that I haven't been able to try yet.

Do keep us posted of your progress!

Need help to compile an AMD Geode GX2 VSA Binary

[Quentin Bouteiller]

Thanks for your quick reply. However, the VSA mentioned in the Geode
Porting Guide is for the Geode LX (and not the GX which is in the Wyse
S30). Are-you sure that it will work?
