I have seen the supported motherboard list/status, and there are several VIA motherboards with chipsets of the same family but different models.
Is it difficult to adapt one of them to my motherboard? (AMOS-3000 embedded computer with P700 motherboard) I have located the following chips: VIA NOR/SOUTH BRIDGE VX700 VIA SUPER I/O LITE VT1212 VIA HD AUDIO VT1708B VIA ETHERNET CONTROLLER VT6107 /VT6122 TI RS-232 MAX3243 ANALOG DEVICES HW MONITOR ADM1032 ICS CLOCK SYNTHESIZER ICS952906 (I dont know what is this) Perhaps I can help, which are the first steps? Any doc for a new guy? This is my hobby, but I am really enthusiastic.

I know how to do it for the linux kernel using a serial port, but I am not able to imagine how to monitor the BIOS POST codes. I know that almost every BIOS sends them to the ISA I/O address 0080h, but, how can I get that codes using another computer? I mean, without POST ISA/PCI card, using another computer connected to it via SMBUS, LPC or serial? Is there any way to convert LPC to serial and monitor that port? I don't know of an easy way. I want to do this with a VIA P700 motherboard, is this board supported by the coreboot v3? http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards I don't think so. Coreboot v2 is the most active branch. Could be easy to redirect BIOS POST codes to a serial port using a coreboot implementation? Coreboot sends debug information to the serial port, so there is no need for monitoring the POST codes except very early in the boot process. Thanks, Myles
