I have a conflict this week and need to cancel. I propose pushing out to next week (Dec 14th), and cancelling the meeting on the 21st when many people will be on holiday anyway. Let me know if you want anything added to the meeting agenda before next week.
A topic that interests me is how much HII support we need in EBBR.
Chapter 2.6.2 of the UEFI spec has "If a platform includes a configuration infrastructure, then the EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL, EFI_HII_STRING_PROTOCOL, EFI_HII_CONFIG_ROUTING_PROTOCOL, and EFI_HII_CONFIG_ACCESS_PROTOCOL are required. If you support bitmapped fonts, you must support EFI_HII_FONT_PROTOCOL."
"A configuration infrastructure" in my view should be nothing required by EBBR.
It has only been the UEFI SCT driving U-Boot to implement some HII protocol stubs. I wonder if this dependency could be removed from the SCT.
I think it's only in SCT because it's used in Shell.efi, no? So if we can somehow remove it from there, it should also remove the dependency for SCT I hope.
And yes, I agree 100% - HII really shouldn't be necessary for EBBR.
