## Libpayload based memtest payload
[Memtest86+](https://www.memtest.org/) has some limitations: first and
foremost it only works on x86, while it can print to serial console the
GUI only works in legacy VGA mode.
This project would involve porting the memtest suite to libpayload and
build a payload around it.
### Requirements
* coreboot knowledge: Should know how to build coreboot images and
include payloads.
* other knowledge: Knowledge on how dram works is a plus.
* hardware requirements: Initial work can happen on qemu targets,
being able to test on coreboot supported hardware is a plus.
