This is not true. For those boards, we can still use EFI, but need to convert to MBR. This is done in uboot-image-install.in in section "Convert GPT to MBR if necessary". The only case I'm aware of where EFI is not a viable option is when we rely on U-Boot that is delivered with the system, but doesn't have efi_loader enablement. Apart from moonshot and midway I'm not aware of any such system still alive. > Maybe for other boards, we may use the EFI config in kiwi, but still > boot using u-boot script? (I will give it a try) That should also work, yes. Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscr...@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+ow...@opensuse.org
