Hi all,

I'm currently looking at edk2-platforms/devel-MinnowBoard3-UDK2017 [1] as a potential bootloader for a Leafhill-based board.

With a few tweaks I've managed to build an image using the FAB_B blobs, but we're experiencing performance issues (very slow boot time from GRUB2 to Yocto Linux, signs of I/O bottleneck when booted).
The build scripts suggest that the FAB_D IFWI blobs are required for Leafhill, and I have noticed these are not available for download [2].

Is anyone able to provide the FAB_D IFWI blobs, or are there instructions available to produce the SpiChunk blobs from the standard IFWI image?
I'm hoping that the reason we're experiencing performance issues is because of the wrong IFWI blobs being used.
