Hi Isaac, Thanks for the document. I've seen the main MinPlatform document before, which also outlines control flow, but this shows a quick overview of it all. I'll look for the MinPlatform porting training links too. Thanks.

While this board may have a working serial pad, it would be difficult to access and likely requires soldering (which I cannot do). I planned to skip directly to stage 4 (OS), or at least 3 (shell). I should have the required board knowledge from my coreboot port. For debug logs, I think the serial port library which logs Status Codes (which will be stored in memory) could be a good fit. For early problems in PEI, I see there is a serial port library which logs to SPI flash. If these fail here, I'll have to hope the USB3 debugging feature will work. > > > > I will defer to Nate on communication recommendations as all the GSoC > projects will be working those out.
