Subject: [PATCH 0/3] Remove the ArmPkg LinuxLoader
Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2016 12:28:07 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1479731290-22497-1-git-send-email-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.org> (raw)
The LinuxLoader application is a deprecated development tool that allowed
Linux kernels to be booted on ARM or arm64 before proper OS loader functionality
had been implemented. Now that this is the case, both in GRUB and in the
respective kernel trees, we should no longer be using the LinuxLoader, which
means it certainly does not belong in a reference code base such as Tiancore.
So replace or remove existing references (#1, #2) before deleting the code
altogether (#3)
Ard Biesheuvel (3):
EmbeddedPkg/AndroidFastboot: drop dependency on the LinuxLoader
BeagleBoardPkg/BeagleBoardPkg.dsc: remove the LinuxLoader application
ArmPkg: remove the LinuxLoader application
