Hy, I am trying to port the Via Epia freebios files to my Jetway B860T, which is almost equal.
I have also a Via Epia M/B to test if necessary.

About Why I am doing this port to my M/B, I am working 1 year for a embedded system to the dentist area, and use the suck board from Jetway to
run my system, I use linux from basis and Xfree.
It not use keyboard, mouse, or other In device, only a nice Serial Infra Red Sensor and Remote Control done by me... Therefore when the power loss
(ps), sometimes the bios checksum changes and corrupt, asking to press the F1 on the next cold boot, and how I does not have In Devices Up at this time, my embeed system changes to medical trash :(
I asked to many bios manufactures to change it, so we told which can do nothing to me, and how I know a little bit of Assembly and C, I will help the project with my bios development , so I need some information...

I done a simple test config file and a b860t.config for my M/B and did run the NLBConfig.py to generate the build directory. (Files Attached)
I done also a minor bugfix on the south bridge source code (to correct wrong include file paths)...


Now is the problem, I do not know what file I need to use to write on my BIOS, the romfile have up to 900k, and my eeprom is 256k like many others...
