[U-Boot] Boot Linux using EFI environment from u-boot
Hello Alex
I am not sure, but it seems it is possible to boot Linux from u-boot using EFI environment. So what I intend to do is that without using UEFI , if I can boot Linux and make EFI variables available for Linux.
Can you please help me on how I can use this configuration.
Many Thanks Poonam
Corrected the email address of Alex.

I went over it.,thanks!. It seems I can run grub.efi on u-boot and that would boot Linux. Let me try this...

Linux will only have access to UEFI variables through the UEFI Runtime Services which again are only provided to the OS when it is booted through the "bootefi" command.
Keep in mind that UEFI variable services are currently work in progress and may or may not fit your needs just yet.
