Subject: [meta-inte][rmc][PATCH v2 1/1] rmc: add support for alternative EFI bootloaders
Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2016 14:56:49 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161213225649.80589-1-todor.minchev@linux.intel.com> (raw)
RMC was previously configured to work only with the systemd-boot EFI
bootloader. With this commit we can specify alternative bootloaders by
setting the RMC_BOOTLOADER variable in local.conf. If RMC_BOOTLOADER is
not set systemd-boot will be used by default.
