In theory it should since Richland APUs are listed in the CPU support list. I wonder if you need a board with F4 BIOS already install in order for it to boot at all.

On that chart moocow linked, look for your processor. If it says supported since version F2 it will boot. If it says supported since version F4 it won't if it ships with version F2. The mobo probably won't be able to identify the chip and boot properly.
