This patch sequence contains all patches needed to load iPXE and use it for downloading and executing images via https or http or to mount iSCSI volumes.
Network speed on an Odroid C2 reached 30 MB/s which should be enough for most use cases.
I have tested the following iPXE commands successfully * dhcp * route * ntp * sanhook iSCSI-target * chain http-target * kernel http-target * boot (after calling kernel) * exit * reboot
The only adjustment in iPXE was adding file src/config/local/nap.h with #undef NAP_EFIX86 #undef NAP_EFIARM #define NAP_NULL and src/config/local/myscript.ipxe with #!ipxe shell before building iPXE with make bin-arm64-efi/snp.efi EMBED=config/local/myscript.ipxe
The next task will be to put iXPE binaries on a server and to create Travis CI test cases.
