Well, indeed, it would be better not to use that. Does QEMU support a flat binary or does it require an ELF? Given the choice between OF_EMBED and your DT-building code I would go with the latter. > > > > The QEMU generated FDT contains a bare minimum of nodes and isn't > > > suitable to boot an OS. > > > > Yes, I am not very pleased about that, particularly as my patch to > > allow passing a proper FDT to QEMU[1] has still not been accepted. > > > The SBSA ref machine was designed that way, to make sure that only ACPI is > used > to boot the OS. Er, but doesn't firmware run before the OS? It seems like a strange design decision.
