Description
U-boot is commonly used to provide a UEFI environment on embedded platforms, making it easier to run commodity operating systems. But what about the inverse case, where we want to make a commodity platform look more like an embedded one? U-boot has a less well known feature for being used as a UEFI payload, but it has poor support for generic hardware and doesn't interact well with runtime UEFI support. This presentation will describe work done to make this functionality more generally usable, and also explain why anyone would want this at all in the first place.
