Hi Varad,

* Created a wiki[1] containing file descriptions and build process
(please review)

In general, your wiki looks good, it's have all needed information (from my POV). Here is some quick notes from my side (it's up to you -- to take them into account or skip).

1. If you wanted to show the *whole* boot process of BBB, there is also ROM-code at AM335x which can be considered as very 1st bootloader. Details here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/AM335x_U-Boot_User%27s_Guide#Two_stage_U-Boot_design

2. Regarding your command for building BBB package: you may want to try and source edksetup.sh file (". ./edksetup.sh"), after that you should be able to run "build" tool w/o specifying relative path to it. So if that's the case, you can insert sourcing command before building and get rid of relative path. It's also good idea because I saw you are using cygwin (AFAIR it's some windows tool), and most developers here using Linux, so they have another toolchain than you, so they can have another path to "build" tool.

3. Is there any way to boot edk2 w/o u-boot (directly from ROM-code)? If so, which further work should be done for this in BBB port? This stuff should be documented as well (IMO).

4. Boot process can be shown more detailed, like this: http://oi58.tinypic.com/2czeyb4.jpg

5. If you have some notes, ideas and TODOs for those who would like to continue working on your port -- it would be nice to share it in your wiki (in the end, I guess)

6. Add $ sign before this command: sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB[device] 115200

7. ...and also consider using "minicom" instead of "screen" as serial console tool (AFAIK most guys in TI and Linaro using minicom).

8. For wiki structure -- check out next links:

    1. http://omappedia.org/wiki/6AJ.1.3_Release_Notes
    2. http://omapedia.org/wiki/Panda5AJ.1.5.1_Release_Notes
   
    if you like the way they organized -- you can rewok your wiki a bit

9. Table Of Content: is there any way to add it to GitHub wiki? If so, maybe it's good thing to do.

=== Week 13 ===
* MMC driver ready - adapted from BeagleBoardPkg.
* Created a wiki[1] containing file descriptions and build process
(please review).
* Code cleanup: duplicates removed.

=== Next (Post-GSoC) ===
* Load 3.16 Kernel on BBB using EFI stub support.
