Do you have an application that leverages these interfaces? Would it be
possible to add that application to our travis tests?

iPXE (snp.efi) uses the functions but there are other things missing to
make it really working.
Ah, I see. How much is missing to make that one work for real?
Before reaching the input prompt ConnectController and
DisconnectController fail for the Simple Network Protocol.
So I am not able to say if the network connection will work.
For testing we will need an iSCSI target.
Putting new tests into the executable created by
CMD_BOOTEFI_HELLO_COMPILE would be possible but that seems messy to me.
Should we replace CMD_BOOTEFI_HELLO_COMPILE by an option that creates
multiple executables for the different EFI API functions we have to test?
Each test then should consist of:
- start QEMU system
- download dtb and test executable from tftp server
- start the test executable
- evaluate console output
- shutdown QEMU system
We have most of the above already in travis today. All we would need is
to extend it to download a built iPXE binaries and add test snippets to
tests/py for iPXE functionality.
Proving that some binary runs is not enough to test the different corner
cases of this complex API.
I would prefer to have a bunch of test binaries compiled from the U-Boot
git tree.
Sure, even better in my book ;). Ideally we would have both. Unit tests
to check individual interfaces and integration tests to make sure we
don't regress real world use cases.
