Documentation: Add broader payload coverage to project ideas
A couple people discussed recently how it's a shame that on some architectures we can bring up a device but then have nothing to do with it afterwards. Having payloads to choose from would help a lot there.

### Mentors * Werner Zeh werner.zeh@gmx.net + +## Port payloads to ARM, AArch64, MIPS or RISC-V +While we have a rather big set of payloads for x86 based platforms, all other +architectures are rather limited. Improve the situation by porting a payload +to one of the platforms, for example GRUB2, U-Boot (the UI part), Tianocore, +yabits, FILO, or Linux-as-Payload. + +Since this is a bit of a catch-all idea, an application to GSoC should pick a +combination of payload and architecture to support. + +### Requirements +* coreboot knowledge: Should know the general boot flow in coreboot +* other knowledge: It helps to be familiar with the architecture you want to + work on. +* hardware requirements: Much of this can be done in QEMU or other emulators, + but the ability to test on real hardware is a plus. + +### Mentors +* Simon Glass sjg@chromium.org for U-Boot payload projects
