Re: Headless devices - BDS to use?

[Kurt Kennett <Kurt.Kennett@microsoft.com>]

But it is pulling in:

INF  MdeModulePkg/Universal/DisplayEngineDxe/DisplayEngineDxe.inf
INF  MdeModulePkg/Universal/SetupBrowserDxe/SetupBrowserDxe.inf

Which are display based components.  Are these required in the image even though they are not used?

A browser and display engine take up a lot of space on a constrained storage system.

K2,

The QuarkPlatformPkg is an example of a serial only console platform that uses MdeModulePkg BDS.
