Hamo,

This sounds like a good idea to me. We can build on your work and move 
it to actual hardware. Most of the older ARM 11 and 9 devices have open 
docs. Many of the new ARM soc's (cortex A8, A9) have docs that are under 
NDA but the bootloaders have open source. For example for OMAP

Thanks. Since we want to make use of the romstage code, we need a CPU
that supports boot from SPI or Nor Flash (because we need to run code
in the rom) and a board that has a SPI or Nor Flash on it.
