I'm about to start to commit modifications to the UEFI edk2 sources in order to allow to build and test it under NetBSD.
Why is it related to the kernel? Because UEFI is not limited to one arch (so it's not linked to some port); because the edk can be compiled and used on a not UEFI hardware in order to provide some UEFI support and it could be an alternative to Uboot; because on an only remotely accessible machine, a persistent runtime UEFI network driver could allow to explore the machine and, if the kernel supports it, could allow to remotely debug the kernel on a machine where there is no other direct mean to know what is going on particularly in the early stages of booting. Am I stepping on somebody else's toes for the UEFI edk2? (I don't speak about UEFI kernel support: I'm not working on that.) -- Thierry Laronde <tlaronde +AT+ polynum +dot+ com> http://www.kergis.com/ http://kertex.kergis.com/ Key fingerprint = 0FF7 E906 FBAF FE95 FD89 250D 52B1 AE95 6006 F40C
