  • Ticket #14436 – Description

    initial v1  
    1 UEFI needs to be reworked to build for non-x86 platforms. Recent u-boot's support .efi binary booting and would let us leverage u-boot's framebuffer in our haiku_loader. (reducing the need for hacked in early SOC hardware drivers for framebuffers and other devices haiku_loader needs). This would also let us consolidate boot loader target platforms.

This would also let us consolidate boot loader target platforms... and help us have *real* drivers attached to and FDT bus in the kernel. (we would only need early uart drivers for debugging)
