Please take a look at the GSoC Wiki page [1].

You could start by getting coreboot to run with QEMU and play around a
little. Then you could try make a coreboot port for the hardware you
own.

Please get back to us if you have any other questions or if the project
are not so appealing to you.

There is currently some work going on, getting native graphics
initialization implemented for certain AMD graphics chipsets.

Also implementing a test setup, testing each coreboot commit with QEMU
and testing the utilities under `util/` would be interesting projects.


Thanks,

Paul
