Hi GRUB developers, My name is Bjørn Forsman, first time poster. I've been tasked to make an xHCI driver for GRUB at my $dayjob. The end goal is to have smart card (CCID) reader functionality. We already have a working CCID driver on top of EHCI. I have no prior experience with xHCI (nor EHCI for that matter), so this is quite the learning experience :-)
I looked in the GRUB mailing list archive and found a couple of old threads about xHCI[1], but it looks like there has never been an attempt at writing that driver. Some questions: * Is there interest in xHCI driver for GRUB? If so I can post patches when there is something that works (more or less). * I see the iPXE project has an xHCI driver. Any thoughts on using that as a basis? I'm a bit unsure about the licensing, whether iPXE is GPLv2 *only* or "at your option, any later version". I guess if it's GPLv2+ it is compatible with GRUB's GPLv3+, or else not. Correct? Best regards, Bjørn Forsman [1]: The "xhci support?" thread from 2012 and "[PATCH]: xHCI/EHCI - Windows - BIOS bug interaction." from late 2013 which added a quirk for an Intel controller. _______________________________________________ Grub-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/grub-devel
