Re: U-Boot for x86 BIOS systems

I think this is a worthwhile effort if someone has the time to fill in the blanks, come up with a PoC, and test it with various versions of BIOS, it would accelerate deprecation of BIOS. BIOS holds us back when making decisions around boot stack, bootloader, firmware upgrade tools, etc.

You may have to port u-boot to different versions of BIOS though.

For example this chainloading technique was considered as a solution to make Chromebooks + Coreboot chainload a UEFI loader to install vanilla Fedora images, but the disadvantage is you'd have to port u-boot to every Chromeboot:

On the other hand chainloading a UEFI loader works great for Asahi even without the efi vars so...
