Dick, All,
On 2020-12-18 20:27 +0000, Dick Olsson via buildroot spake thusly:
> Prior to this, you had to manually download a pre-built EDK2 flash
> device image (QEMU_EFI.fd) in order to boot this configuration with
> QEMU. Now, the configuration is building EDK2 from source.

There is a better and simpler way to achieve that:
truncate -s 64M "${BINARIES_DIR}/QEMU_EFI.fd"
truncate -s 64M "${BINARIES_DIR}/QEMU_VARS.fd"
(as I understand it, these files are just meant for QEMU, not actual
hardware, so we can resize them in-place without copying).
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
