You've probably heard of Coreboot, an open source BIOS that's been ported to a handful of systems (230 total different configurations, along with a QEMU target for playing with). It's also the foundation of all Chromebooks. This is very short but may be fascinating reading: https://www.coreboot.org/Developer_Manual
