  1. It's Sunday, I'm again looking into an update to the #edk2 package and have to deal with its terrible "build system"... questioning life choices....

  8. I’m going to neuralyze the SPI flash and install some Kelvin Timeline firmware that will allow me to boot and install generic ARM Linux images on a ROCK 5 ITX+.

  11. Does anyone here know how to run Linux 2 or 2023 images? They seem to hang right after exiting boot services. Latest qemu and i could get on Fedora 42.

    Perhaps @hrw knows, or knows someone who knows.

  12. I saw edk2 PR to handle PPTT using ConfigurationManager framework.

    How bit waste of potential CM is. Something what could be serious helper became yet another board specific code dump.

    There should be CM->GeneratePPTT(data) function which either go through hardware to detect cores/caches/clusters/topology or gets it in a structure/object/array.

    Instead is yet another code drop which generates whole PPTT by hand.

  13. This fine evening on #CursedProjects: Trying to build #EDK2 without crying too much.

    The build is again broken on so many levels, it's quite frustrating tbh.

    Having to deal with a super custom (and frankly quite horrific) build system and an entire boatload of git submodules sure doesn't help in even understanding what is going wrong. 👌

  18. (TianoCore) switched away from emailing patches to GitHub pull requests for contributions.

    This will make things a lot easier for contributing to the most commonly used framework for firmware.

    See: edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message

  19. ArmCpuInfo v1.2.0 released.

    Some updates to be in sync with 2023-12 Arm A-profile Architecture Registers document.

    Support for DFR1, FPFR0, ISAR3, MMFR4 and PFR2 will be added in one of future versions.

  20. Starting to #bisect #edk2 #ovmf stuff because the #microvm blobs don't build anymore since last release...

    If only they had a build system that is at least somewhat comprehensive and not a bizarre monster of #shell and #python scripts mangled together with some #make and other bits and pieces 🥺

  21. Spending some cycles on refining the #qemu package on #archlinux. Now with #arm #uefi support!

    Still need to fix up #edk2 to enroll some common certificates in the #firmware blobs.
