[MinnowBoard] GSOC 2015 Aspirant for U-Boot EFI Support

[Saket Sinha]

Hi Simon,

          I guess now is the time for me to get started and dive deeper
into the project.

I am  familiar with U-Boot usage at the command level as well as
compilation and deployment.

I have tried to hack through u-boot in various ways in the past which
include

1. Modifications in U-Boot’s initialization process, so that a custom
board’s specific hardware is set up early enough
2. Adding support to specific hardware, by virtue of adding or modifying
low-level drivers
3. Expanding the command interface to support a needed functionality,
possibly as a front-end for new hardware


I guess I have the minimal experience to get started with this project.
Kindly guide me as to how to go ahead with reference to this project.

Regards,
Saket Sinha
