I think these are completely separate issues however: one being providing a working Tianocore implementation to users who need a payload with EFI boot support, and the other being the best place to focus development effort. I've gone ahead and created a new 'coreboot' branch based on my fbgop branch, with a little bit of cleanup. We can offer that as a working (or even default) option, and then figure out the best path forward. But it's pretty minimal effort to offer a better working default option > > Nico > _______________________________________________ > coreboot mailing list -- [email protected] > To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] >
