Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH v2 4/8] grub2: enable support for arm and aarch64 targets
Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2017 23:39:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170426213953.14904-5-nunes.erico@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20170426213953.14904-1-nunes.erico@gmail.com>
This commit enables the arm-uboot, arm-efi and aarch64-efi Grub 2
platforms in Buildroot.
As a uboot platform, Grub 2 image gets built as a u-boot image (i.e.
u-boot mkimage) and is loaded from u-boot through a regular "bootm". The
only requirement from u-boot side in order to allow this is that u-boot
is built with CONFIG_API enabled. CONFIG_API seems to not be enabled by
default in most in-tree configurations, however, it seems to be
available for quite some time now. So it might be possible to use this
even on older u-boot versions. This is available only for arm (32-bit).
As an efi platform, Grub 2 gets built as an EFI executable. This allows
EFI firmware to find and load it similarly as it can be done for x86_64.
Also, since u-boot v2016.05, u-boot is able to load and boot an EFI
executable, so the Grub 2 efi platform can also be used from u-boot in
recent versions. This has been enabled (mostly) by default for ARM
u-boot.
efi platform is available for both arm and aarch64.
These targets have been tested in the following environments:
arm-uboot: qemu arm vexpress and BeagleBone
arm-efi: BeagleBone
aarch64-efi: qemu aarch64 virt and Odroid-C2
