[edk2-devel] hardware for development

[Marcin Juszkiewicz]

My work on EDK2 is only around SBSA Reference Platform (QemuSbsa) which 
is software emulated machine. And from time to time there are moments 
when I am wondering on getting some physical system which runs EDK2 to 
have system for experiments.

Can someone recommend some hardware?

It does not matter which architecture (from Arm, Risc-v, x86-64). I am 
looking for something what runs quite up-to-date EDK2 (can be fork as 
long as it is maintained and not far behind EDK2).

Needs to be able to run some Linux distribution (Debian, Fedora preferred).

And one thing: firmware stored in on-board flash. Not read from microsd 
or other storage media.

Hmm, I was about to mention raspberry pi 3+4, but those actually read
the firmware from microsd.  Running fedora works fine though.

Everything else in my lab is either closed source vendor builds (intel
nucs) or virtual machines (ArmVirtPkg / OvmfPkg).

take care,
  Gerd

I was pointed to https://github.com/edk2-porting/edk2-rk3588 fork. Went 
through a list of supported boards and will go with NanoPC-T6 LTS one.
