Dear coreboot community,
My name is Fikret Garipay, and I am a final year Electrical Electronics Engineering student. I want to participate in this year's GSoC and contribute to coreboot. I have experience working with C, QEMU, Linux, git, and Bash. In addition, I have hands-on hardware experience using popular tools like flashrom. I own a coreboot-compatible g41m-es2l motherboard-based desktop and a Dell Optiplex 7010, which I have used to gain practical knowledge of coreboot.
I have been developing my skills in UEFI and coreboot through the Open Security Training 2 courses. As a result, I feel prepared to contribute to the following projects: - Fully support building coreboot with the Clang compiler - Port payloads to ARM, AArch64, or RISC-V - Libpayload-based memtest payload - Fix POST code handling
I have attached a log file containing the serial output of the tutorial as evidence of my work. Furthermore, I have pushed a commit to address a potential memory leak identified by scan-build.
I am eager to contribute to the coreboot community and work alongside experienced developers to improve the projects. I am looking forward to receiving feedback, guidance, and mentorship from the community.
Thank you for considering my application. I am excited to start contributing and making a positive impact on coreboot and its related projects.
Best regards, Fikret Garipay
