Thanks for the report! I'll add the board to our list of supported
boards. If you could send us the output of 'lspci -nnv' too I can
whitelist it regarding the chassis type problem too.

I am not aware of any tools that can be used to extract (non-AMI)
binaries from, but if you find anything out I would be glad to hear it
so that we can integrate it into bios_extract.
You may wanna play around with ITK:

but I have little hope...

Thanks for the pointer Stefan, I'll see if I can dig up anything.

'lspci -nnv' is attached.
