Ron couldn't be more right when he says that you can't appreciate how much work it is to go from a "it works" to a "it's tested/verified and made into a *product* for actual users". It took me 6 months of work to finish the 4 days of work that Duncan Laurie did (I believe it took him 4 days to do the initial port, feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken, and yes of course, I am totally new to the coreboot world, so a lot/most of that time was spent on the learning curve).
Well, I interpret Ron very differently... I think you are at the "it works" state. 6 months of coding are the easy part where you don't have to convince other entities to use your code. Let's wait until you have made it into a shipping product and reflect then. I guess the really tricky part comes when you ask your contractor not to license the UEFI they usually ship (i.e. don't let your coreboot customers pay for the other side).
