Description Jianxun Zhang 2016-06-14 23:39:23 UTC 
This will be another actual change in OE in the procedure to migrate our EFI bootloader from gummiboot to systemd-boot.

QA team needs to create new systemd-boot test hardware target like what the existing gummiboot does. I suggest we keep the existing gummit and add new systemd-boot to prevent any breakage until we purged gummiboot everywhere in Yocto.

The document change can be a part of https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9707 when we do a fully update in all docs.

./meta/lib/oeqa/controllers/masterimage.py could be a starting point.

The values already defined under GummibootTarget class should remain the same for systemd boot ?

File: masterimage.py

self.efivarvalue = r'\x07\x00\x00\x00\x74\x00\x65\x00\x73\x00\x74\x00\x00\x00'

'printf "%s" > /sys/firmware/efi/efivars/LoaderEntryOneShot-4a67b082-0a4c-41cf-b6c7-440b29bb8c4f' % self.efivarvalue

Yes, Jose.
I also suggest we keep gummiboot stuff alive this time until we notice people stopping using it and update document, then we will clean up gummiboot in OE in background. Sounds a plan?
