Hi all,
The uefi-next.git tree [1] has been updated for the 13.09 cycle.
We're at -rc1, but the code freeze is today, so probably not enough time for any changes before the release.
Snapshot binaries are available now [2]
What's included?
Well, not as much as I hoped because I've run out of time. So no ethernet and no SMBIOS patches just yet.
Current topic branches:
linaro-topic-a5 linaro-topic-a9 linaro-topic-arndale linaro-topic-bds linaro-topic-fvp linaro-topic-misc linaro-topic-origen
I forgot to mention, although the origen topic is included, it fails to build due to missing helper functions.
linaro-topic-panda linaro-topic-tc1 linaro-topic-tc2
As always, you should probably pull and build the "linaro-tracking" branch, not one of the topic branches.
The main addition for this release is the (now) upstream aarch64 support. The uefi_rtsm-ve-aemv8.bin snapshot binary will boot on the Aarch64 VE model that is currently available to Linaro internal people from the usual place [4]
I've tested A9, TC2, FVP on the snapshot binaries. I tested RTSMs, aarch64 VE model and Arndale on my own build of the code and Dave Long has tested Panda on his own build of the same code.
One problem I note for aarch64 is that we don't have a similar fix to this for native building:
4511a19 2012-12-12 BaseTools: allow native building [Leif Lindholm]
Probably not a big issue, who would want to compile aarch64 inside a model??
Regards, Ryan.
