[PATCH v5 1/2] cmd: eficonfig: add support for URI device path based boot options

Sughosh Ganu sughosh.ganu at linaro.org
Thu Jul 3 08:43:07 CEST 2025


The eficonfig command provides a menu based interface for maintenance
of the EFI boot options. Add support for adding a URI based boot
option. This boot option can then be used for HTTP boot.

Signed-off-by: Sughosh Ganu <sughosh.ganu at linaro.org>
---
Changes since V4:
* Clear out the URI string in eficonfig_process_clear_file_selection()
  when user selects the 'Clear' menu.
* Display the URI string as part of editing the boot option by putting
  a check in prepare_file_selection_entry().
* Clear out the URI string in eficonfig_process_select_file() if a
  file is being selected from one of the disk volumes.
