Hi,
I just want to verify has anyone tested the ITE IT8718F superio support? Over at: http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards all motherboards mentioned are in the unknown status at the moment.
Hi,
key features of this superio were tested around 2010 when the first boards with it got their coreboot port completed. By 2014, when our supported boards wikipage was changed to collect reports of working builds, this small selection of boards had already become obsolete enough so that nobody has bothered to test and report.
To have a working superio depends on a couple of external parameters. One is to route all the required IO ranges (including 2e/4e) to LPC bus, second is to confirm superio has 24/48 MHz clock input. In some cases 48MHz clock requires GPIO programming on southbridge.

I see. This is indeed an old development board. I dust it off because it has complete documentation. Therefore, theoretically should be easy enough to work with for Coreboot porting.

OK. Thanks for the hint ;-)
