Is this boar/chipset combination supported?

[saueimer]

Hi there,

i read the "Will coreboot work on my machine?"-FAQ. Unfortunately I don't
own
my desired board and chipset yet, but I would like to know if this
combination
is supported, so i tried to collect some infromation:

Board:
Jetway JNC62K SocketAM2/AM2+ Mini-ITX (link to the homepage:
http://www.jetwaycomputer.com/AMD3.html and as attachment the
datasheet)

Chipset:cpu AMD AM2 5050X2

Kind regards and thanks for any information!

Unfortunately the NVidia MCP78S chipset is not supported yet and it is
unlikely we'll support it in the future because we don't have the needed
data sheets and programming information.

Hi again,

how about the
VIA EPIA EX15000G, CX700M2 (PC2-4200U DDR2)
mainboard? Is or will this be supported? I am trying to build up a PC for
my car so I need a ITX-motherboard and a DVI-Port. Coreboot in cobination
with a SSD as harddisk would ensure a very quick boot ;) So if anyone
could advise some board to me, if the upper one is not supported,
I would really apprechiate it!

Thanks in advance!

The chipset is supported, we released it a while back. Check the
via/vt8454c target for a mainboard using that chipset.

Best regards,

Actually, depending on how complex that chipset is, serialice might
let us figure out what we need to know ...

Hi again,

I am sorry to bother you again but unfortunately but I could need
information about the coreboot support of the following boards

VIA EPIA VB8001-16 1600MHz MiniITX
and
VIA EPIA VB7002-15 1500MHz MiniITX

Is there already any support or will there be any soon?

My alternative would be

VIA EPIA M700-15 1500MHz MiniITX

Just for explanation or if someone has an idea:
I am looking for a coreboot supported ITX sized board with at least
2 GB of RAM and a CPU of at least 1,5 GHz which is capable for
multimedia use and quick boot. So it would be nice if there's a
DVI interface or a PCI or PCIe extension. It will be used as a car pc.
Is there any board you could advise?

Sorry for bothering again but I don't want to buy "any" board to find
out, that coreboot is not supported.

Kind regards and thanks in advance

Before you send a question mail for every single board: For a complete
list of supported boards look here:

Either you choose a board from the list above, or you might have to dig
into how to port coreboot to a new board. In that case I suggest you
start with a supported chipset combination at least, because supporting
a new chipset is months and months of work.
