However, platforms.config is now outdated since it belongs to the old OpenPlatformPkg build support rather than edk2-platforms, which is where the most up to date (if still incomplete) upstream hikey support exists.
edk2-build.sh, which is the script used for the edk2-platforms way of building uses edk2-platforms.config instead.
uefi-build.sh/platforms.config will go away eventually, so would it be an option to migrate away from them at this point?
I still use uefi-build.sh for building qemu UEFI :)
It's still going away :)
(They're still supported by edk2-build.sh, I just renamed the platforms armvirtqemu and armvirtqemu64 to match the actual EDK2 names better.)
Hi Leif,
Could we keep uef-build.sh & platform.config for 3 to 6 months? Since we're using it for both hikey and hikey960, and we are still in the process of upstream them into EDKII. In the document (https://github.com/ARM-software/arm-trusted-firmware/blob/master/docs/plat/h...), we prefer user to use uefi-tools upstream directly.
If the uefi-build.sh & platform.config is removed now, user can't build hikey and hikey960 successfully.
I have no issue keeping it around for that long. It would make sense to keep them until the autumn Linaro Connect, a year after I gave the presentation including the new tools. I am more cautious about updating them, because things that are actually being developed should be moving to edk2-*.
And I'm fine on Victor's change in this patch.
OK, thanks.
Wrt this patch, edk2-platforms.config already has the proper default setting for TOS_BIN, so please merge this too if ok since it looks like platforms.config will still be used for at least 3-6 months according to the comments above.
Thanks!
