Hi, 

Im new to the list and I read some about coreboot and im impressed. I would like to make my elite C7VCM VIA CN700 & VT8237R Plus Chipsets C7 CPU Onboard (http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Products/ProductsDetailPhoto.aspx?DetailID=885&LanID=0) boot with first lilo and then later on etherboot. I got the version 1.2 with 12v supply. This board is really cheap under 80 dollar and it is for a kiosk project. Since the orignal bios award bios 6.0 do not work with usbboot (in this fork ofcourse) which I need I hope I can use coreboot 

So what do I need to do? As I understand the CN700 & VT8237R Plus are supported as well as usbboot with lilo. To add a board as I can see I need to adapt the config.lb in target and add and adapt the board in coreboot*/src/mainboard/. Is it something else I need to change/adapt/add in coreboot?  I might get a problem with VT8237R Plus since its VT8237R in the source, whats the difference? The bios chip is a sst49LF040B and I can not hot flash it on this board so I ordered a "enhanced willem pcb5.5c universal programmer". Is there a linux software I can use with this burner?

Here are the lspci and lspci-vvvxxx

and all help is appreciated
