Hi all, I've grepped through LinuxBIOS v1 and v2. I don't find any support for Via 694 or 693A. I have a board laying around at home. Any suggestion where to start with. I've read some of the porting guides but i'm still quite confused and starting to read the documentation.

I mean the source code of version 1 and 2.

start with the vt8601, those two northbridges are very similar. i have some work somewhere that i started on vt694x, but right now I've got no clue which machine it's on even. i'll try to dig it up when i get a chance. V1, btw, does have some support for vt694 (see src/mainboard/rcn/dc1100s and src/northbridge/via/vt694) but I'm not sure if it actually works or not. I tried running it on my tyan s2507, but never serial output working, let alone a full boot. There's also early serial support in linuxbios for the vt82c686 southbridge, that should also work on the vt82c596, possibly with a device id changed.
