Please, as Heinrich suggested, add CONFIG_FS_FAT, in your U-Boot configuration.
Hmm, I didn't understand that as a suggestion, but as a question for his understanding. Of course I'll give it a try.
Sometimes live is such easy. This fixed my issue, THX.
For the after-math / my understanding:
- Do I understand correctly that the problem was that 'efi_selftest
block device' requires FAT support? So shouldn't there be a dependency in CONFIG?
Strictly speaking, CONFIG_EFI_LOADER requires FAT per UEFI specification, and actually it has 'imply FAT'. I don't know why Heinrich uses 'imply' instead of 'select'.
- What is the reason/use to iterate through the recognized partitions
even twice (in .setup and .execute) if they aren't needed/used?
What line of code do you exactly mean by 'in .setup' (and in .execute)?
My understanding: efi_selftests register their methods separated by setup/execute/teardown. The central test control is taking tests from list and executes the three methods, unaware of which exact test is executed: lib/efi_selftest/efi_selftest.c lib/efi_selftest/efi_selftest_block_device.c
