Hmmm, quoting myself..hmm, before goin to have a sleep I wanted to know =
how good(or bad) I am in guessing (what I normally never do) :-) ....
So, hmmm, 1 wrong guess(the port in fact targets RPI4(&3) !) =E2=80=A6( =
and 1 right guess)
=
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-ports/blob/de18ba58f56406625c04bcfc3a67=
7fc969a32210/sysutils/edk2/Makefile
I like the idea to support RPI4 in sysutils/edkII, nothing wrong with =
that idea ..
On the other side Mark Millard is right :
<<... But pftf/RPi4 is no longer strictly based on just edk2 =E2=80=A6..>>=
And there are some other things to pay attention to in =
rpi4-uefi-dev(-files)...
The right =E2=80=9Eguess": (for now no publicly or communicated =
intention to support RPI4-uefi-dev by any developer in FreeBSD=E2=80=A6)=
..
( it=E2=80=99s unsupported and lacks many functionalities=E2=80=A6 =
specially when compared to u-boot/fdt) :

On the other side it would be quite unfair to remove the Wiki-entry of =
rpi4-uefi-dev because=20
Greg did a very good job and the Wiki-article is very popular(because of =
the device itself),
I even receive private support-request-emails sometimes because of the =
article...
So I will leave the Wiki-entry untouched and the sysutils - maintainer =
is of course invited to tell the Wiki=20
something of the intention of the edkII-port and to where FreeBSD wants =
to go with RPI4-Uefi .
