Hi Sam,

Welcome. I think that you will find that to be a very challenging
project. I recommended becoming more familiar with coreboot. Try
building and debugging on qemu. Prepare a way to recover your laptop
when you flash something that doesn't boot. Study the output of your
logs and learn about how your machine is put together.

Marc
