Hello Sibi,
The answer to your question lies outside of Coreboot domain. After bringing Tiano Core, you need to bring the next phase of booting: OS boot loader. The best for you is to use GRUB2. Then, from GRUB2 menu (/boot/efi/EFI/.../grub.cfg) you can choose your OS (either WIN8+, either any modern Linux distro). You can have up to 128 of them, as my best understanding is.
I think you miss the point here. Sibi was asking how to store settings, where UEFI should look for the next-stage bootloader (e.g. GRUB), and not how to relay the decision which OS to boot.

I am old, a bit numb/dumb (reason INTEL ousted me, good reasoning, don't you think?), so this is why I did reply to this email in the first place... To learn something tangible. I am looking forward for people to couch/teach me.
Besides, seems that you, Nico, missing something important in your personal integration: reading/listening skills. You even did not bother to read my entire email (typical FLMs and SLMs behavior in INTEL). ;-)
What about my question #1: *[1: For general Coreboot population] After having Tiano Core payload executed, how Tiano Core is linked with the next booting phase: GRUB2?*
So your answer/question is kinda perfect, I should say. I am also looking forward to the answer you did formulate (since you did not bother to read mine).
In other words, I am also after this question: How Tiano Core should look/what is the mechanism to get to the GRUB2?
(I need to learn Chinese, really I do, maybe I'll make/express myself more clear) :-))
Thank you, Zoran
