Eugene, I am referring to the UEFI Firmware which will be starting at the reset vector. I am using the BeagleBoardPkg as a starting point to customize for Soc-specific requirements. In order to sync upstream of UEFI Fw I referred the mailing list and used -- 11950 revision.
the plan is to setup the UEFI FW and boot to the Linux images using ATAG list.
