Re: [edk2-devel] [edk2] OCP : Olympus project's UEFI BIOS code support

["Kubacki, Michael A" <michael.a.kubacki@intel.com>]

Hi,

The PurleyOpenBoardPkg code is being removed as noted in the following patch series recently sent
to the mailing list - https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/message/49843.

It has not been tested in some time and does not align with our vision for Intel open source platform
firmware. The effort required to update the code and sustain testing alongside a large number of
planned changes elsewhere that will impact PurleyOpenBoardPkg led to the decision to remove the
package before the next stable tag.

Prior to removal the code should compile by following the instructions here:
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/blob/master/Platform/Intel/Readme.md

Thanks,
Michael
