While somewhat similar in terms of interfaces / functionality, that
board uses the AST2050 which is a much less powerful chip.

The AST2400 doesn't see much use on x86 coreboot-supported platforms as
far as I am aware; SuperMicro likes to use it but it doesn't look like
any of those boards are supported (there are no reports for any of those
boards in the board status repository [1]).
