2021-11-07efi: Add video support to the appSimon Glass1-1/+1
The current EFI video driver only works when running in the stub. In that case the stub calls boot services (before jumping to U-Boot proper) and copies the graphics info over to the efi table. This is necessary because the stub exits boot services before jumping to U-Boot. The app maintains access to boot services throughout its life, so does not need to do this. Update the driver to support calling boot services directly. Enable video output for the app. Note that this uses the EFI_GRAPHICS_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL protocol, even though it mentions vesa. A sample qemu command-line for this case is: qemu-system-x86_64 -bios /usr/share/edk2.git/ovmf-ia32/OVMF-pure-efi.fd -drive id=disk,file=try.img,if=none,format=raw -nic none -device ahci,id=ahci -device ide-hd,drive=disk,bus=ahci.0 Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Heinrich Schuchardt <xypron.glpk@gmx.de>
2021-11-07efi: Create a 64-bit appSimon Glass1-3/+3
Most modern platforms use 64-bit EFI so it is useful to have a U-Boot app that runs under that. Add a (non-functional) build for this. Note that --whole-archive causes the gcc 9.2 linker to crash, so disable this for now. Once this is resolved, things should work. For now, avoid mentioning the documentation for the 64-bit app, since it does not work. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Heinrich Schuchardt <xypron.glpk@gmx.de>
2021-11-07efi: Add a script to build an image for testing on UEFISimon Glass1-0/+62
It is quite complicated to run U-Boot on QEMU since we have four different builds and they must use different versions of qemu and the UEFI binaries. Add a script to help. It requires U-Boot itself to be built. Once that is done you can use this script to build an image for use with qemu and optionally run it. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass <sjg@chromium.org>
2021-11-01docs: uefi: Update stale U-Boot on EFI docBin Meng1-5/+7
The existing intructions in the U-Boot on EFI doc do not work with the latest QEMU. Update the doc with the correct instructions, as well as using the new OVMF URL link. Signed-off-by: Bin Meng <bmeng.cn@gmail.com>
