There's a lot of other problems with the EDK2 support, it's fine for some usecases and not for others. Given that we have to support U-Boot on all the 100s of other devices we support U-Boot has always made sense because EDK2 support is a lot more varied and it ends up being a game of whack-a-mole in forks/branches so in general it's an order of magnitude less work to support U-Boot even though it's not perfect, but then nor is EDK2. -- _______________________________________________ arm mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
