Good to know. Thanks. FYI: From: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-non-osi/commit/c1075e9ddd647fa7f7cb17b312f6bf8246952e09 There are these notes that indicate the non-standard ECAM status: (Other details are just for reference. EDK2 UEFI/ACPI is not the official usage context.) QUOTE The RPi4 has a single nonstandard PCI config region. It is broken into two pieces, the root port config registers and a window to a single device's config space which can move between devices. However there isn't (yet) an authoritative public document on this since the available BCM2711 reference notes that there is a PCIe root port in the memory map but doesn't describe it. Considering that it's not ECAM compliant, yet relatively simple, it is however possible to make use of the newly introduced PCI SMCCC interface that was added for the RPi4 platform as part of the TF-A 2.6 release. As a result, we update the RPi4 TF-A to the 2.6 release version, and, for good measure, the RPi3 also, using binaries that were built in an open and verifiable manner through the GitHub Actions build script located at https://github.com/pftf/pitf. For more details on the SMCCC interface, see DEN0115 available from: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/den0115/latest END QUOTE Other notes: I remember, FreeBSD supports the SMCCC interfacing in question. By contrast, Linux refused to add such support. The default RPi4B EDK2 configuration avoids exposing the PCIe but there is an option that uses the SMCCC technique to expose it. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
