Not sure on the availability of mini-ITX boards in India.

You can run firmware code from grub. See Simple OS written by David
Decotigny, and Thomas Pettazoni:

It is sometimes very hard for me to digest the fact that many people
in India go out of the way and pay huge amounts for development boards
which are either quite expensive or not available in India, and you
have to import them (as compared to their low price and availability
in US and EU). There is so much you can learn from economical x86
boards in India, and use the best of it.

Such as? As far as I can understand, you have never mentioned what you
want to do, but, you would like to work only on embedded kits.

So, what do you use the kit for if everything is given to you in the
first place?
