Hi all,
More spring cleaning.
Two separate vendors, with quite different platforms, have submitted
ports to OpenPlatformPkg making use of the "ramdisk" driver from
https://svn.code.sf.net/p/efi-toolkit/code/trunk/efi-toolkit/protocols/ramdisk/
As part of moving their platforms to edk2-platforms I would just like
to revisit that, so that they (on cc) can explain their use-cases and
maybe others can chime in on alternative solutions to their problems?
Alternatively, is this something that _should_ be available in edk2?
Regards.
Leif

The EFI Toolkit is long since dead, and based on the original EDK (also dead), so we definitely need to get that code out of EDK II projects.
I'd recommend looking at RamDiskDxe under MdeModulePkg as an alternative ...

Thanks ... br
