RFC: barebox-x86 as a coreboot payload

[Michel Stam]

Hello Antony,

Interesting idea- I wonder if its difficult given that U-boot is already supported?

Personally I have no experience with coreboot, the systems I test on are industrial x86 SBCs with their own BIOS. I suppose it is oossible, maybe we can borrow code from u-boot.

Another thing along the sane lines that crossed my mind is EFI support for barebox, I wonder if theres interest in that?

Next on my list is keyboard/VGA, maybe VESA support if I have the time. I would like to see a console, possibly a framebuffer driver. No idea how difficult that will be.

Cheers,

Michel Stam
