Hi, this is quite of a hard task and I'd request you to evaluate the requirements before digging much. How does coreboot behaves? How much space do you have?
Having it to compile should be the simplest task, but then you need to implement the OS layers EFL expects in Ecore: main loop (timers, file descriptors, ...), I/O (wayland, fb, x11)... Unless coreboot already emulates a real OS, you'll have lots of work to do, maybe base yourself on PSL1GHT work (PS3 native port). Also, EFL takes around 5mb by default, if you don't have that memory (flash, RAM) you'll have extra work to strip it. My take on this is: get Evas (pre-merge) and port only it, integrate it directly in coreboot. Base your UI in Expedite, as it looks okay using just Evas, no other EFL. If you need to strip down, consider using Evas before Eina, then you do not rely on other EFL. Yes, you'll end with a fork, but your project just need a simple way to show graphics on screen, the extra features of EFL are likely unneeded and will do more harm than good.
