[PATCH 05/35] efi: Add a script for building and testing U-Boot on UEFI

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Wed Sep 8 15:33:35 CEST 2021


It is quite complicating to run U-Boot on qemu since we have four
different builds and they must use different versions of qemu and the
UEFI binaries.

Add a script to help.

+You may find the script `scripts/build-efi.sh` helpful for building and testing
+U-Boot on UEFI on QEMU. It also includes links to UEFI binaries dating from
+2021.
