Position Independent Code

[ali hagigat]

Is Coreboot source code is a position independent code?  I mean,  will it be
executed from any arbitrary location of the main memory?

Can it be revoked and correctly executed by a bootloader like Grub if I make
a binary image of it and make necessary changes to be read by Grub?

Most of it, no.

It does not make sense to load coreboot from grub. You'd rather load
Grub from coreboot.
