The MinPlatform should be as generic= as possible and suitable for all architectures. In fact it is similar to the UEFIPayload package wich is also standalone. Best Regards, Wim Vervoorn Eltan B.V.

MinPlatform really isn't Intel speci= fic, it's just "middleware" that is intended to make it easier and faster t= o build EDK II based firmware. We have always intended MinPlatform to be ve= ndor neutral, and it would be great to see MinPlatform based implementation= s for non-Intel silicon. Anyone working with EDK II should feel welcome to = work with us on MinPlatform, regardless of the SoC in use. To that end, I propose that we move MinPlatformPkg out of edk2-platforms/P= latform/Intel to edk2-platforms/Platform/MinPlatformPkg. It might also make= sense to move edk2-platforms/Platform/Intel/Tools and edk2-platforms/Platf= orm/Intel/build_bios.py to edk2-platforms/Platform as well since those are = all useful for building MinPlatform based firmware, but I could also see th= at being something for another time. Let me know what you think! Thanks, Nate
