EmbeddedPkg: Introduce GBL protocols

2026-06-12T09:38:53+00:00

GBL (Generic Bootloader) is Google's UEFI-based bootloader for Android. It runs as an EFI application and delegates board- and platform-specific operations to the underlying firmware through GBL-defined EFI protocols. This patch adds only the header definitions (GUIDs, revisions and interfaces) for those protocols, covering Android Verified Boot, AVF, A/B boot-control, boot-memory, debug, Fastboot (and its transport) and OS configuration. For details, see: https://cs.android.com/android/kernel/superproject/+/common-android-mainline:bootable/libbootloader/gbl/README.md Co-authored-by: David Pursell Co-authored-by: Dov Shlachter Co-authored-by: Jakob Vukalović Co-authored-by: Kelvin Zhang Co-authored-by: Ram Muthiah Co-authored-by: Sergii Parubochyi Co-authored-by: Yecheng Zhao Co-authored-by: Yi-Yo Chiang Signed-off-by: Dmitrii Merkurev

Revert "ArmPlatformPkg,EmbeddedPkg,MdeModulePkg: Move RealTimeClockLib ..."

2026-05-06T03:41:31+00:00

This reverts commit 57230fff6b39a665485be1bd43ec608d412ba6fb. RealTimeClockLib is not a generic library class that is intended to be used widely to get access to the RTC when the associated runtime services are not available in the calling context. The purpose of RealTimeClockLib is to abstract the underlying hardware access from the generic RealTimeClockRuntimeDxe driver, which backs the runtime services. This means it does not belong in a different package; it belongs in the same package as the driver. Continuous-integration-options: PatchCheck.ignore-multi-package Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

EmbeddedPkg: Remove DXE_SAL_DRIVER

2025-10-30T10:00:32+00:00

The DXE_SAL_DRIVER module type was introduced to support Itanium (IPF) platforms. Since support for Itanium processors has been dropped, the instances of DXE_SAL_DRIVER have been removed. Ref: [3cb0a311cb7e747d7be5c5076d0fff76ad256d2b] Cc: Sachin Ganesh Signed-off-by: Sathya Ravichandran

EmbeddedPkg: Drop ARM32 Support

2025-09-25T22:04:10+00:00

edk2 is dropping support for the ARM32 architecture. This commit removes ARM32 code from EmbeddedPkg. This also drops irrelevant VALID_ARCHITECTURES comments from infs that are not arch specific. Signed-off-by: Oliver Smith-Denny

ArmPlatformPkg,EmbeddedPkg,MdeModulePkg: Move RealTimeClockLib header

2025-09-08T08:54:42+00:00

RealTimeClockLib is an architectural implementation that is not restricted to the embedded segment or any platform in particular. So the header has been moved to MdeModulePkg. And the package has been added to the relevant INF files. Continuous-integration-options: PatchCheck.ignore-multi-package Signed-off-by: Sachin Ganesh

MdePkg, EmbeddedPkg: Move Fdt Table Guid to MdePkg

2025-08-12T17:42:44+00:00

Move Fdt Table Guid from EmbeddedPkg to MdePkg to avoid unnecessary dependencies on EmbeddedPkg for packages like ShellPkg. This change may affect modules dependent on EmbeddedPkg but not on MdePkg, which is unlikely. Also, per 8c721d6, MdePkg has a more refined implementation of Fdt as compared to the EmbeddedPkg which was the initial implementation. Not moving gFdtVariableGuid since it'll be moved to platform code. Continuous-integration-options: PatchCheck.ignore-multi-package Signed-off-by: Prachotan Bathi

MdePkg, EmbeddedPkg: Moved definition of Fdt Guid to MdePkg

2025-07-08T18:35:46+00:00

MdePkg has a more refined implementation of Fdt as compared to the EmbeddedPkg which was the initial implementation, hence moving the Fdt Guid from EmbeddedPkg to MdePkg. Continuous-integration-options: PatchCheck.ignore-multi-package Signed-off-by: Akshay Behl Co-authored-by: Dhaval Sharma

EmbeddedPkg: Retire EfiResetSystemLib and ResetRuntimeDxe

2024-07-31T10:53:32+00:00

Retire the ancient reset runtime DXE in EmbeddedPkg, and the associated EfiResetSystemLib library class and template implementation. These are incomplete and have been superseded by a generic implementation in MdeModulePkg. Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel

EmbeddedPkg: Add option to disable EFI Memory Attribute Protocol

2024-07-16T09:54:07+00:00

Introduce a driver that allows users to disable the EFI Memory Attribute protocol through an HII setup option, in order to work around a broken version of rhboot's shim used in some distros (e.g. CentOS Stream 9) which incorrectly invokes the protocol and results in a Synchronous Exception. Default is enabled, which can also be overridden at build time by changing `gEmbeddedTokenSpaceGuid.PcdMemoryAttributeEnabledDefault`. It is only applicable to ARM64 and there isn't any other technical reason for disabling this security feature.
