Build tutorial 

$ svn co svn://coreboot.org/repos/trunk/coreboot-v2
$ cd coreboot-v2/src/southbridge/via/vt8237r
$ svn up -r3566
$ cd ../../../../targets
$ ./buildtarget via/pc2500e
$ cd via/pc2500e/via_pc2500e
$ make -s

The resulting coreboot.rom is your coreboot ROM image you can flash using flashrom.
