The key benefit is non brickable with anti rollback protection you get of all firmware through the UEFI capsule. The UEFi capsule is complemented by an Arm architecture capsule through FFA interface. You will have a number os SystemReady sessions at the forthcoming Arm Dev Summit. You will also see VMWare supporting SystemReady-ES, and I am hopeful that Andrei@VMware will also support SystemReady-IR. > > >> >>> Do we expect bootefi to boot a kernel with CONFIG_EFI_STUB, or do we >>> expect to load grub.efi which chain-loads a kernel without >>> CONFIG_EFI_STUB? >> >> all paths should be possible , and the shim.efi is to be supported too. >> With UEFI, I always see that UEFI is kept down to OS for SecureBoot.
