[PATCH v2] schemas: Add a schema for memory map

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The Devicespec specification skips over handling of a logical view of
the memory map, pointing users to the UEFI specification.

It is common to split firmware into 'Platform Init', which does the
initial hardware setup and a "Payload" which selects the OS to be booted.
Thus an handover interface is required between these two pieces.

Where UEFI boot-time services are not available, but UEFI firmware is
present on either side of this interface, information about memory usage
and attributes must be presented to the "Payload" in some form.

This aims to provide an initial schema for this mapping.

Note that this is separate from the existing /memory and /reserved-memory
nodes, since it is mostly concerned with what the memory is used for. It
may cover only a small fraction of available memory, although it could be
used to signal which area of memory has ECC.

For now, no attempt is made to create an exhaustive binding, so there are
some example types lists. This can be completed once this has passed
initial review.
