I guess I missed the part where not wanting something was considered insane.

Could you all please read what Vladimir actually wrote and not put something in his mouth!
»You need something as GRUB for it since the chip is too small to hold a kernel anyway.«
The »something« makes a difference.
He just informed Guang, that he needs a payload, which Guang did not consider yet. As Vladimir already knows coreboot due to his X201s work and dealt with Loongson I find it very nice of him to share his opinion.
Guang, from all of the respondents I probably are the most inexperienced one, so my answers might be incorrect. One of the strong points of coreboot is its PCI initialization framework, the ability to configure it with Kconfig and the ability to customize it
Loongson platform be designed mostly like a PC, it also control PCI devices.
because of the payload concept, where coreboot only initializes only the minimum of the hardware and a payload, like SeaBIOS, FILO and GRUB, can take over.
I'm not quite clear about code flow between bootblock and payload for now, so, is there some document about it?
coreboot has its own filesystem for the ROM called CBFS (coreboot filesystem). If I am right, coreboot by default loads the file `fallback/payload` stored in there and jumps to it/executes it [1].
or can you give some hints for code flow? Thanks!
Some talks about coreboot were recorded. Peter Stuge’s talk »2008/12/27 coreboot at 25C3 in Berlin, Germany« linked from [2] is often recommended to watch to get an overview.
