The SolidRun Discord message that is relevant said: "After this next UEFI release, I will only be focusing on fully SystemReady IR (not certified though) for our Aarch64 platforms" SystemRead IR is DeviceTree based. A related note relative to DeviceTree and being rather Linux tied lead to the following: "This is something I have already pointed out about SystemReady IR and device-tree. I will re-focus my efforts on a global device-tree repository that is separated from Linux" As to why: In summary, getting patch sets through for ACPI (SystemReady ES type of context) to enable functionality has proved too much and too slow over the years of trying. Thus the change of direction after the next UEFI update. (Read the recent Discord material to guard against any misinterpretation on my part in my attempted summary above.) === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
