It also has a more optimistic memory\nallocation policy, allowing for booting large images.\n\n*fastboot.efi* supports booting abootimg v2 and PE32+ (EFI) images.\n\nSupported fastboot commands are **boot**, **continue**, and **reboot**.\n\n## Building\n\nUse *rustup* to install the aarch64-unknown-uefi target. Then build using:\n\n```\ncargo build --target aarch64-unknown-uefi\n```\n\n## Deploying\n\nThe resulting *fastboot.efi* can be loaded by normal means of loading EFI\napplications, such as chainloading from systemd-boot/grub or placed as\n*\\EFI\\boot\\bootaa64.efi*.\n\n### Generating disk image\n\nTo further simplify bootstrapping processes of a device for development\npurposes, *fastboot.efi* can be packaged in an EFI System Partition (esp),\nwrapped by a GPT header using the included repart.d configuration and the\nfollowing command:\n\n```\nsystemd-repart fastboot-nvme-disk.img --empty=create --size=64M --definitions=repart.d --root=$PWD\n```\nor:\n```\nsystemd-repart fastboot-ufs-disk.img --empty=create --size=512M --sector-size=4096 --definitions=repart.d --root=$PWD\n```\n\nThis file can be written straight to a NVMe (or UFS) device, which upon booting\nautomatically enters fastboot mode.\n\n*rawprogram-nvme.xml* and *rawprogram-ufs.xml* are included for convenient\napplication with common flash tools.\n\n## *fastboot boot* an UKI (or other EFI application)\n\nThe standard *fastboot* host tool, will upon invoking *fastboot boot* wrap the\nprovided non-abootimg file in an abootimg format before downloading and booting\nit on the device.\n\nBy using a \"non-standard\" *fastboot* host tool, that downloads the file\nprovided as is, *fastboot.efi* allows booting arbitrary EFI applications, such\nas Unified Kernel Images (UKI).\n\n## Contribute\n\nWith the goal of providing a convenient development environment for upstream\nwork, please do contribute to both implementation and documentation by opening\na Pull Request. Issues can be used to track issues with the implementation,\ndocumentation, and device-specific issues.\n\nSee [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md) for more information.\n\n## License\n\nLicensed under [BSD 3-Clause Clear License](LICENSE.txt).\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fqualcomm%2Ffastboot.efi","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fqualcomm%2Ffastboot.efi","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fqualcomm%2Ffastboot.efi/lists"}
