There was a time, quite some time ago, when somebody was booting vxworks from linuxbios, i.e. it was the payload.

Hello Peter,
I'll try to find answers to these questions. I might even myself build one of these images to try such a creation on IVB EL2.
Please, stay tuned.
Best Regards, Zoran

There is possibility (my best guess) to use VxWorks as coreboot’s payload, instead seabios

I can also investigate about booting VxWorks, if required
It would be helpful to know how tightly the VxWorks kernel is tied to legacy runtime services from x86 BIOS and/or UEFI.
If the VxWorks kernel is an ELF binary or similar simple binary format without very strong ties to legacy runtime services then it would most likely be straightforward to use a VxWorks kernel as payload with coreboot.
