This page describes how to use coreboot on the Jetway J7F2 series mainboards.

The irq table in CN is from VIA. You may need to run getpir to generate your own irq table.

This page is a work in progress.

This board works with target/jetway/j7f24, except that it needs rev 3566 of src/southbridge/via/vt8237r.
