Hello,

I tried recently to add support in UEFI to pass an initrd with FDT to a
Linux kernel. I have searched the Internet but I did not find any
information to do that.

FYI, this is the way it is done in ATAG:
typedef struct {
  UINT32  start;
  UINT32  size;
} LINUX_ATAG_INITRD2;

The boot loader loads the initrd in system memory and passes the memory
region information through ATAG.


Sorry, if it is the wrong mailing-list. In this case, can someone point me
on the right forum for any Linux FDT oriented questions.

Thanks,
Olivier
