= Proposed System Wide Change: uEFI for ARMv7 = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/uEFIforARMv7 Owner(s): * Peter Robinson <pbrobinson at fedoraproject dot org> Move to uEFI as the default boot mechanism for ARMv7 devices. == Detailed description == Currently ARMv7 uses extlinux to boot the kernel on ARMv7. This has served us very well and has allowed us to standardise the ARMv7 boot process with the vast majority of devices booting this way OOTB due to the support being in a wide variety of u-boot releases. Over recent years there have been a number of improvement to uEFI including robust support in u-boot. We've supported uEFI on aarch64 as the only way of booting Fedora supporting both Tianocore, proprietary uEFI implementations and since Fedora 27 we've supported uEFI via u-boot too. The uEFI provided by u-boot is now stable enough that we can now move ARMv7 to this method too allowing us to move ARMv7 to grub2-efi and have a single standard booth path/stack for both ARMv7 and aarch64. == Scope == * Proposal owners: Patches, updates to the process, testing * Other developers: System component owners will need to review and merge patches for certain components. * Release engineering: #7606 [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7606] ** List of deliverables: N/A * Policies and guidelines: N/A I don't believe this changes any policies or guidelines * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) -- Jan Kuřík JBoss EAP Program Manager Red Hat Czech s.r.o., Purkynova 99/71, 612 45 Brno, Czech Republic _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/VUOPRT5BYNWHYUASZGPWNSJCLZA6L55G/
