If so, can we just remove this for arm64?
Actually I was hoping that Alexander might have a suitable arm64 HelloWorld.efi lying around. When I tried building UEFI for arm64, for some reason it did not create it.
Is it part of edk2? If so, Leif (CC'ed) might have one :). I usually use grub as my hello world application.
There is a hello world application in EDK2, but it does not get built as part of a normal platform build. Currently it also fails to build for ARM* on its own :| See http://patchew.org/EDK2/1471021908-3509-1-git-send-email-leif.lindholm%40lin... for a hack of how to build one before upstream is resolved.
If cross compiling, prepend GCC5_AARCH64_PREFIX=aarch64-linux-gnu- to build command line.
Thanks for the pointer. Unfortunately that patch appears to make no differences for me. Are you able to build and send me a 64-bit HelloWorld.efi please?
So, I probably could, but if that isn't working for you, I'd quite like to know why.
To make that a little less painful though, I've added support for building the helloworld app to my set of scripts: https://git.linaro.org/uefi/uefi-tools.git
This still depends on this (updated) patch. https://lists.01.org/pipermail/edk2-devel/2016-September/002112.html
But with a current edk2, and a uefi-tools placed in the same directory as the edk2 clone, could you try executing:
../uefi-tools/uefi-build.sh -A AARCH64 hello
If the build fails and creates messy output due to being parallel, could you stick a -1 on that command line and send me the output (or pastebin)?
