2013/1/15 Axel Dörfler <axeld@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>:Is your repository already tracked in our commit list? That would certainly help with getting feedback.No, and given that I'll probably experiment quite a lot in the beginning it might not be interesting. Here is the code: https://github.com/tqh/haiku.efi I guess I should try to make a readonly BFS driver first. Is there any recommended code to start from?
Please reuse the boot loader BFS code in src/system/boot/loader/file_systems/bfs/ (or very similar), or, if not at all possible, write something very similar -- it already reuses as much from the original BFS implementation as possible.
I'm not sure if writing a file system driver is the best starting, point, however, as it's a completely optional that doesn't gain you that much (you still need some place to put the driver to, I would guess :-)). Writing the EFI platform bindings however, is something you will need to do anyway.
Also, as François pointed out, it makes sense to start building this from a complete copy of our tree, such that you have all the includes available for use. The EFI boot loader platform would go into src/system/boot/platform/efi/ - not sure what kind of code would go into src/tools/efi_loader - I can't think of any, but maybe François had something particular in mind.
Bye, Axel.
