Hi Max,

Building OpenBIOS generates an ELF image, so if you can include an ELF 
payload then this should be possible.

Regarding porting to a new board, I wrote some notes last year in 
response to a similar query at 
https://mail.coreboot.org/pipermail/openbios/2016-November/009837.html 
which you may find useful.

Hopefully that gives you a good starting point, and feel free to ask any 
further questions you may have on list (posts are moderated by default 
unless you are a list member).


ATB,

Mark.
