Ok, I have got a spare rom which is a "SST SST49LF008A" (1024 KB, FWH) with the original bios, but i don't have an external programmer to flash if the first one is bricked.. > 2. Make sure you can get serial output I believe I can do it, the board has an RS232 port, so I guess i need a null modem cable to connect it to the computer.. > 3. Choose the most similar supported motherboard I guess it is the iWave iW-RainboW-G6 as Idwer Vollering suggested.. > 4. Change the code to support your board Well this is a little problem, I don't know exactly where and what to change in the code, I believe i need to make a copy of src/mainboard/iwave/iWRainbowG6 and modify files to fit it my mainboard.. I have some C knowledge, but I would really need help, and some people to show me the way what and where to change in the code at least to make it work? > 5. Try it > 6. Iterate on 4&5 until you're happy with it > 7. Send a patch I would for sure send a patch if I can make it work :) Btw the CPU and the southbridge/northbridge matches with the Rainbow-G6, but I don't know about the SuperIO of it, there is just a "-" in the list of supported motherboards for superIO of Rainbow-G6..
