Hi Jinyi, Can you provide more details about your work as a BIOS engineer? As Vladimir said, if the chipset is unsupported then writing MRC for it will be a very long and difficult process. If the chipset is supported then adding mainboard support may be a relatively simple task that not sufficient for GSoC.
If you have experience with UEFI, perhaps you can implement features that are missing in our Tianocore support: http://www.coreboot.org/TianoCore .
