Hi Laszlo. I've been looking at Trim.py. It has interesting code to strip out some struct stuff from preprocessed files, and modify Hex numbers, etc. Unfortunately, this is not currently done for .ASL, or would be wrong were it done (via options). I assume the tool is intended for this sort of t

Tony, EFI is some what simpler than a standard OS, by design. The main reason is determinism and the primary goal being to initialize hardware and boot a quickly as possible. So there are not threads, there is only the main thread. While it is possible to run code on the other processor in th

Hi Shiva, Could you tell a bit more about 'But, UEFI is not even checking zImage presented in the partition.' ? One common mistake is a misspell error in the device path. One way to check it is to start EBL and type the command 'devicepath'. It will print all the EFI Device Paths expose by your U

Hi Olivier, UEFI booted properly and also detecting FAT partition I made on SD card, where zImage is present. At boot time it doesn't ask any boot options, instead it goes directly to EBL prompt. I have taken FAT partition path using command 'devicepaths' and copied in dsc file as gArmPlatformTok
