Hi Everyone,
I want to install Coreboot on an old Cyrix 6x86 machine. It comes equipped with a M558 motherboard. The AMI BIOS string ID is 51-0830-001437-00111111-071595-UT801X-001_10_UTRON-F Further details can be found on this webpage: http://motherboards.mbarron.net/models/pcchips/m558.htm
The Super IO chip on it is a UMC UM8670. The Superiotool currently does not detect/dump this chip (exactly as mentioned on the supported HW page). Also, It is currently not listed on the supported chipsets page for Coreboot. I am unable to find any further information on the web for this chip. I am hoping that this chip is in someway a clone or identical to other SuperIO chips.
Can anyone confirm if it is supported by Coreboot? If not can anyone point me to a location where information on this chip could be available ?
Regards, Anup

Good luck to you, no part of that board is currently supported by coreboot it is simply way too old. Also good luck trying to find any datasheets for something that old.
