[MinnowBoard] edk2 trunk

[Wei, David]

Moso,

Basically,  MinnowBoard platform development only bases on a stable version of UDK2015 core, not bases on the evolving EDKII trunk.  If the new MinnowBoard Dual-E really needs latest UEFI feature support,  maybe could consider upgrading the UDK2015 core packages of repo edk2-platforms/minnowboard-max-udk2015 to a newer stable version.

Thanks,
David  Wei

David,

Are you saying that the newly announced MinnowBoard Dual-E from ADI Engineering hitting shelves in Q3 will not be using edk2 trunk with UEFI 2.6 either?

If so, this is the end of MinnowBoard platform. What do you recommend for another open hardware platform capable of UEFI 2.6 development?

We have no plan to continue merging edk2-platforms/minnowboard-max-udk2015 to git repo "edk2 trunk".

MinnowBoard platform development will only be on edk2-platforms repo. The stable  MinnowBoard  release (https://firmware.intel.com/projects/minnowboard-max ) also only bases on this repo.

Hi,

Is Vlv2TbltDevicePkg supported in the latest edk2/trunk?
I would like to use Minnowboard Max to experiment some of the newer UEFI features that is not in edk2-platforms/minnowboard-max-udk2015 branch.

I built Vlv2TbltDevicePkg from edk2/trunk few months back with 0.84 Binary Object Modules (per BiosIdD.env) and it worked. But the latest trunk no longer work. The machine can boot up but there is no boot device at all.

Comparing between trunk and edk2-platforms, there seems to be parallel independent new development between the two branches.
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/commits/master/Vlv2TbltDevicePkg
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/commits/minnowboard-max-udk2015/Vlv2TbltDevicePkg

To piggyback to the question from the top, when will edk2-platforms/minnowboard-max-udk2015 be merged back to trunk?
