I am a
potential student applicant for the Google SoC 2007 program. And I am strongly
interested in the LinuxBIOS project, especially for the “GNUFI or
TianoCore payloads” idea. I have some background of EFI-related
development, such as knowledge about (U)EFI spec. and EFI driver/application
development in the Tiano platform, etc. But I know little about hardware
or chips.
The “GNUEFI
or TianoCore payloads” idea is to get an UEFI implementation as the
LinuxBIOS payload. Essentially, LinuxBIOS need to provide the interfaces for
the GNUFI or TianoCore core foundation for this purpose, I think. I wonder whether
this project idea, namely “GNUEFI or Tiano payloads”, needs the LinuxBIOS
hardware platform for development environment and some chips knowledge. Or some
emulation development environments are enough.
