Move to uEFI as the default boot mechanism for ARMv7 devices.

Will this work with virt-manager too? Currently, while aarch64 boots via
uEFI there, it seems that armv7 is only supported by manually specifying
a kernel and initrd.

Ping.


Currently this won't work with virt-manager.

Yes, I'm aware.

If this arm32 stuff works similar to aarch64, then what we need is:
extend the edk2 package to build working arm32 images, some packaging
changes to libvirt, and some straightforward-but-not-trivial changes to
virt-manager to match.

My intention here was to look at the aarch64 support and copy that and
submit a patch. I would love help and I intended to reach out but have
been thumped with other escalations and problems so haven't had the
chance yet.

There is already an edk2-arm subpackage [1] in the Fedora builds and
it appears to work with my very basic testing.

Gerd Hoffman has a nightly edk2 repo which builds arm32 images. If
someone can figure out the magic qemu incantation to get those working
with Fedora, similar to how aarch64 works, I can do the rest

Awesome, will reach out to work with you, thank you!


FYI I've filed a bug to track virt-manager work, so if anyone is interested jump on the CC list

Thanks,
Cole
