how i can add support for Jetway J7F5M1G5E-VHE-LF
(http://www.jetway.com.tw/jw/ipcboard_view.asp?productid=374&proname=J7F5M1G5E-VHE-LF)
in coreboot with this patch,
Start by comparing the added board (VIA reference board) with the
Jetway board, chip wise. If they are using the same superio you could
try simply booting a coreboot image built for the VIA board on the
Jetway board, and it might work.
here is the first problem - Jetway seems like to use Fintek SuperIOs now
Coreboot has included F71805F/FG and the
J7F5M1G5E Board uses F71806F/FG or F71872F/FG (i think F71806F/FG because
F71872F/FG has a Keyboardcontroller and the Board have no PS/2 Keyboard Port).
I have found at Google that 71806 [3] and 71872 [4] (both supports 11 sets of
voltage sensors) with are fully compatible (except the Keyboard Controller)
[1], [2] and mostly(fully?) compatible with 71805 [5] (9 sets of voltage
sensor).
Can anyone include this SuperIOs or can i try this with F71805? How i can
change the Configuration from the VIA VT8454C to include this SuperIO (the rest
must be identical)
- i think like the creation of Jetway J7F2/4 from VIA CN

Stephan
or better - because i have not experience with coreboot - can
anyone do this for me?
Maybe you can find a volunteer, but everyone is busy.. Also, trying
to do development of this kind without physical access to the
hardware kills the spirit. There are often many problems to solve,
and it is really heavy work to try to debug them via the internet.
i have this board so i can test this.
It seems to be using mostly VIA chips. Maybe you are lucky and a VIA
reference board image will just work. We are interested in any test
results!
