Hello.
I have two biostar mainboards on which I'd like to try coreboot. They are not in supported mainboards list, but northbridges, southbridges and super I/Os looks like be supported.
The first mainboard is: vendor: biostar model: TA690G AM2 northbridge: AMD 690G (I'm not absolutely sure) southbridge: AMD SB600 (I'm not absolutely sure) cpu: AMD Athlon(tm) X2 Dual Core Processor BE-2300 Super I/O: "ITE IT8716F-S" this is written on the chip (superiotool says ITE IT8716F) BIOS device: PMC Pm49FL004T-33JCE (flashrom -V looks like can't detect bios, but flashrom -r says PMC Pm49FL004) url: http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/content.php?S_ID=17
The second mainboard is: vendor: biostar model: TA770 A2+ northbridge: AMD 770 (I'm not absolutely sure) southbridge: AMD SB600 (I'm not absolutely sure) cpu: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ Super I/O: ITE IT8718F (from superiotool r5050) BIOS device: Winbond W25x80 url: http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/content.php?S_ID=310
Both motherboards were successfully flashed several times with flashrom for original bios.
Have I chance to run coreboot on this mainboards?

The 690 board maybe. Make sure you can restore the board when the first coreboot attempt does not work, and then go ahead and start with a coreboot image for a board which has the same components.
Then fix what doesn't work.
