IIRC, last I checked a while back, qemu did not have support for EL3 i.e. it started booting directly in EL2 (need to onfirm this). But, I think a good starting point would be to identify the current status of qemu arm64 support and see if qemu starts booting in EL3. All the coreboot arm64 infrastructure is currently based on the fact that all coreboot stages are running in EL3. If that assumption is broken by qemu, then we would need to make appropriate changes in coreboot arm64 infrastructure.
Additionally, it would be good to understand how to work with qemu i.e. booting Linux on qemu-arm64, debugging with qemu, etc.
Hope that helps.

I suggest you start looking at the progress made last year and try to reproduce it:

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for the reply.
I am interested in working with the ARM64 support in coreboot which was developed on Qemu last year. I want to carry forward the project and bring the support over real ARM64 board(I would be having Rasberry PI3 available with me pretty soon) .
Let me know how to get started on the same.
Regards, Saket Sinha

Hi Saket!
Welcome to coreboot!
Please check out our GSoC page at https://www.coreboot.org/GSoC and have a look at our three sub projects this year: coreboot, flashrom and SerialICE. If you have specific questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Congratulations to the coreboot team for selection in GSOC 2016.
I am looking forward to participate in GSOC 2016 with coreboot for ARM64 qemu port.
I request you to guide me as where to start with to prepare for this project.

Hi,
I think this is early for this but I am looking forward to participate in GSOC 2016 with coreboot for ARM64 qemu port.
This is to discuss the idea further.
I guess the project was a part of last year GSOC as well so we already have some base-work to start with.
I request you to guide me as where to start with to prepare for this project.
