Either the bin-arm64-efi/ipxe.efi or bin-arm64-efi/snp.efi build targets will work. Since iPXE will not have a native driver for your NIC, it will automatically fall back to using the UNDI/NII or SNP driver.

Re: [ipxe-devel] How to build a chainloading ipxe on ARM64 platform
Hello, Mr. Brown, Thank you very much. How to build a iPxe only using UNDI/NII or SNP protocol provided by the UEFI platform firmware? The NIC card is very special in our platform, iPxe could not use it.

Is that correct? If yes, it is exactly we want. but we have a ARM64 platform, How to build a chainloading iPxe. I tried the command: Yes, iPXE is capable of using the UNDI/NII or SNP protocols provided by the UEFI platform firmware. It can also use its own native driver (which will usually be faster), if available. To build, use make bin-arm64-efi/ipxe.efi or make bin-arm64-efi/snp.efi If you are cross-compiling then you will need to specify your cross-compilation prefix. For example, to build an ARM64 binary on an x86_64 Fedora distro: make bin-arm64-efi/ipxe.efi CROSS=aarch64-linux-gnu Michael ___ ipxe-devel mailing list ipxe-devel@lists.ipxe.org https://lists.ipxe.org/mailman/listinfo/ipxe-devel
