Hi Heinrich, As a matter of fact and strictly speaking, there are bunch of missing features; * Boot manager (section 3) - boot manager policy - support for some of Boot option variables - boot recovery * various protocols, - from section 11 to section 20 and - from section 24 to section 30 * Firmware Update (Spec section 23) * UEFI Byte Code(EBC) machine (Spec section 22) * Secure boot (Spec section 31) * Support for some of HII packages (section 33) * HII configuration protocols (section 34) * security&crypto-related protocols (section 36) * Variables - support for authentication I don't think that we should list all of them, but we should definitely describe the *criteria* for what features be implemented and what not. # Personally, I'd like to add "integration of DM and UEFI objects" :) Thanks, -Takahiro Akashi On Wed, Mar 27, 2019 at 10:07:03PM +0100, Heinrich Schuchardt wrote: > The following TODOs are closed: > > - GetNextVariableName is not implemented > - event groups > - manage events in a linked list > > Signed-off-by: Heinrich Schuchardt <xypron.glpk@gmx.de> > --- > doc/README.uefi | 5 +---- > 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 4 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/doc/README.uefi b/doc/README.uefi > index cda29cdcf7..b38efbc0cc 100644 > --- a/doc/README.uefi > +++ b/doc/README.uefi > @@ -299,7 +299,7 @@ This driver is only available if U-Boot is configured with > CONFIG_BLK=y > CONFIG_PARTITIONS=y > > -## TODOs as of U-Boot 2018.07 > +## TODOs as of U-Boot 2019.04 > > * unimplemented or incompletely implemented boot services > * Exit - call unload function, unload applications only > @@ -308,16 +308,13 @@ This driver is only available if U-Boot is configured with > > * unimplemented or incompletely implemented runtime services > * SetVariable() ignores attribute EFI_VARIABLE_APPEND_WRITE > - * GetNextVariableName is not implemented > * QueryVariableInfo is not implemented > > * unimplemented events > * EVT_RUNTIME > * EVT_SIGNAL_VIRTUAL_ADDRESS_CHANGE > - * event groups > > * data model > - * manage events in a linked list > * manage configuration tables in a linked list > > * UEFI drivers > -- > 2.20.1 >

Alex suggested to base the scope of our implementation on the minimum requirements of this document: Server Base Boot Requirements System Software on ARM Platforms - Version 1.1 https://developer.arm.com/docs/den0044/latest/server-base-boot-requirements-system-software-on-arm-platforms-version-11 > > # Personally, I'd like to add "integration of DM and UEFI objects" :) The deficiencies that I listed in README.uefi are the user view. I agree that we should also define our U-Boot internal development targets and better DM-UEFI integration should be part of it.
