Dear all, With some time and consideration, I have decided that I would like to take up the project "Port edk2 or U-Boot payloads to ARM or AArch64". I would prefer to develop something for AArch64 since I have a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with me. However, before that, I need clarity on the time commitment of the project. I would love to take up the task of porting any payload which I could finish within 175 hours. Also, what does "the UI part" correspond to U-Boot porting to coreboot? Would that involve working on the TUI? In case both of these would require more than 175 hours, I would like to take up porting EDK2 to AArch64.
Therefore, I look forward to hearing from potential mentors regarding the same.
