Eugene, I am referring to the UEFI Firmware which will be starting at the reset vector. I am using the BeagleBoardPkg as a starting point to customize for Soc-specific requirements. In order to sync upstream of UEFI Fw I referred the mailing list and used -- 11950 revision.
the plan is to setup the UEFI FW and boot to the Linux images using ATAG list.

Murali, are you referring to a UEFI boot loader application that boots on an existing UEFI firmware environment? Or when you say bootloader do you mean a new UEFI firmware variant starting at or near the reset vector?****
Terminology is getting a bit confusing here since other boot systems may not make a formal distinction, but from a UEFI Spec point of view the platform firmware and OS loader are separate entities.****
If you’re referring to a UEFI loader application I would expect this to be generic and theoretically able to boot on any ARM UEFI system. I would expect SoC-specific stuff to be handled in the UEFI firmware environment.*

Olivier Martin,****
I am doing the Bootloader for a ARM Cotex A8 based SoC. I started this task with BeagleBoardPkg project in tianocore . Please advice if there is anything else that I need to patch for including my updates. ****

Girish,****
Please coordinate this with Olivier Martin from ARM, I believe he is already working on a UEFI loader. My guess is that we should be able to host this in the existing sourceforge SVN repository used for edk2. I think it would make sense use of the existing build system, interfaces and libraries already in edk2. If people wanted to we could probably do some kind thing where a Liano git repo imports the edk2 svn tree.****
Thanks!****

Dear Grant Likely, In the boot architecture meeting held in Linaro connect Q3, we discussed regarding a separate git repository for vendors supporting the Uefi boot loader. I am responsible for the supporting Uefi for samsung platform. Can you please let me know when the git repository will be available to upstream the UEFI.
