Extracting from firmware updates is probably easier. > According to Intel you should ask your board manufacturer.

Hosting this in https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-staging is probably one option (not fully sure about the policy there). Creating a separate project for that might also make sense given that the roms will not be generic but host-specific, so end-users will have to install the tools needed to collect host-specific bits and to build the final rom image. take care, Gerd -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
