- Grant - going to dedicate next week to EBBR work
- Daniel - No significant progress yet on defining level1, level2, etc
Do we talk about levels before they are defined in the spec?
- We'll leave it for now - might just confuse people
RFC discussion
- Draft requirements for removable media firmware files (firmware files in ESP)
- Draft recommendations for fixed media firmware files
- Require a firmware partition separate from ESP
- Use block oriented callback IO
- OS is not allowed to modify (don't mount it)
- Talk about behaviour of eMMC boot partitions -- redundancy? Wear leveling?
- Need an ABI for runtime firmware callback to OS for variable storage -- file oriented; common case is store to platform's firmware directory in ESP or fixed media firmware partition.
- Trigger thread on mailing list and cc: Ard
