[coreboot] GSoC 2019 - HW bringup

[Alex James]

Hello,

I am a student interested in contributing to coreboot as part of GSoC 2019.
I have seen the ideas list on the documentation page, and I am considering
working on fixing issues reported by Coverity Scan, and maybe additional
work on firmware RE tools. However, I would like to know if ports to new
mainboards/systems would be an acceptable project. I have an Ivy Bridge
desktop (Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H) as well as a Arrandale laptop (HP Pavilion
dv7), and I am interested in porting coreboot to these platforms. I do have
some experience with UEFI programming in C (as well as x86(_64) ASM).

Thank you.
Alex James
