Hello Merlin, I just received a message from Idwer Vollering that there is no raminit code available yet. Since I am not at the level where I can write raminit code without proper documentation (which isn't available as well) I won't be able to port coreboot to your board. Sorry!
Hopefully you will find someone else who can!
