It basically passes through the device tree that's generated by QEMU, yes. However, OVMF defaults changed a while back and it only exposes ACPI tables instead of DT in newer versions on AArch64 IIRC. Maybe something went wrong and they changed them for armv7 as well by accident? Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
