Hi all,
I'm considering doing a quick point-release for EBBR to address the change to RuntimeServicesSupported in UEFI 2.8 Errata A. From 2.8final to 2.8_A, RuntimeServicesSupported changed from being a variable to data in a system table entry. U-Boot and Linux have been updated to the UEFI method. EBBR needs to be changed to match.
There are patches on this list under discussion now. Once that is complete and the patches merged, how does everyone feel about an EBBR v1.0.1 release before the end of May?
At this moment, the v1.0.1 changes would include:
e47952b (HEAD -> master, glikely/master) Specify details of how a DTB is passed to the OS
Thanks for updating the patch.
c155e96 Update spec to address UEFI 2.8 Errata A
The patch looks correct. This is what I stumbled upon looking at the rest of the runtime chapter:
The 'Runtime Variable Access' sub-chapter mentions only SetVariable() as optional while the table above it specifies all variable services as optional. Could we start the sub-chapter with a sentence
"All variable services at runtime are optional."
to avoid misunderstandings.
The `RuntimeServicesSupported` value flag in the `EFI_RT_PROPERTIES_TABLE` should be set correctly for all runtime services. Mentioning this requirement specifically for SetVariable() might be misleading.
There is a capitalization typo in the chapter:
%s/e.g., If/E.g., if/
Best regards
