Dear All,

I am hoping to apply for the GSoC 2022 program. I am really interested in contributing to the coreboot project as I love to work with low level development.

I completed the pre-requisites mentioned in the documentation.

I built a 32-bit EFI binary in the gnu-efi environment. I used U-Boot as the payload for coreboot to test this EFI binary. The target is x86_64(QEMU).

I sent a patch for review about a year ago related to adding heap-out-of-bound detection support to AddressSanitizer port. If this is not acceptable as my first patch for review, please let me know. I can fix some coding styles or do a simple task given by the community.

PATCH: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/51787

I find the "Add U-BOOT's UEFI payload as a coreboot payload" project mentioned in the coreboot project collection interesting to me. I have no prior experience with UEFI. As a starting point I learned to build and run an EFI binary with coreboot using the U-Boot payload.

Please let me know what I should do next to learn and prepare for this project.

Thanks & Best regards,

Husni.
