Subject: UEFI support in ARM DomUs
We have made U-Boot run inside XEN DomU, but just only PV console part,
not implement other frontend drivers currently. Would this help for your
case if enable EFI in U-Boot?

Well, we have a working PV block implementation on top of that on iMX8

That's a nice work and will be a good addition. However...


platform, mostly ported from mini-os. Currently we are finalizing the work

... AFAICT mini-os is licensed using BSD-2 while U-boot is using GPLv2. So I
would be careful with the licensing here.

It might be better to consider to port Linux PV driver instead or rewrite them
completely.

Julien, I might be misunderstanding what you wrote. MiniOS is BSD-2 so
MiniOS code can be integrated into a GPLv2 project without issues
(becoming GPLv2.)  So it should be OK to take MiniOS code and add it to
Uboot?

Yes I did realized that afterwards. Sorry for the noise :(.

Cheers,
