Hi Alex, I think that porting the gigabyte platform could be at least part of a GSOC project. The port by itself probably wouldn't be enough to be considered a full project, since much of the work can already be done automatically by autoport.
I'd probably discourage the HP port due to the age of the platform and the possible difficulty with the embedded controller, but wouldn't strictly rule it out as a gsoc project.

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 _______________________________________________ coreboot mailing list -- coreboot@coreboot.org To unsubscribe send an email to coreboot-leave@coreboot.org
