this is unlikely, unless mentioned in wiki !

this answer applies to various questions concerning particular hardware 
- but we do not wish to appear rude in any way !

there is a list of                      supported                   
southbridges, Super I/O chips and flash memory 
types                        which are supported.

if you have zero hits with your mainboard, probably you are facing a 
learning curve   ;-)       ...    --Q

I think Corey Osgood was working on that.

No. I'm working on CN700, CX700 is essentially (but not exactly!!!) the
CN700 + VT8237 in one chip. I have some info on the CX700, but no board
to work on, hence I can't make it work. If someone were to give me a
board, that might be different ;) Afaik, one of the biggest differences
is that it includes a different video device than the CN700, but I can't
confirm that. There's also some differences in the north-south bridge
linkup, etc.
