Subject: falling back to UiApp?
Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2017 16:23:25 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43c8bb1a-3f04-e133-211f-0601d6ec9078@redhat.com> (raw)

Hi Ray,

the UiApp application is added to the UEFI boot order automatically, but
it is not invoked automatically, even if BDS gives up and hangs with

  [Bds] Unable to boot!

For example, consider the following:
- no UEFI bootable application available anywhere in the system,
- ... not even for the default platform recovery option,
- no shell is built into the firmware image,
- but UiApp is available in the firmware image.

Is it possible to jump to UiApp in this case, rather than hanging with

  [Bds] Unable to boot!

?

Can (or should) platform code do something about this?

Or would this conflict with the UEFI spec either way?

Thank you,
Laszlo
