Install UEFI on HiKey960 from Binaries [Instructions]

Prepare the required files $ git clone https://github.com/96boards-hikey/tools-images-hikey960 $ cd tools-images-hikey960 $ rm config hikey_idt sec_uce_boot.img sec_usb_xloader.img sec_xloader.img $ wget http://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/components/uefi-staging/13/hikey960/debug/config $ wget http://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/components/uefi-staging/13/hikey960/debug/fip.bin $ wget http://builds.96boards.org/snapshots/reference-platform/components/ue…

So, the answer is, Yes I do need to enable uefi before using rpb linux.
Can you confirm ?

[ric96]

yes, you have to install uefi

Currently, uefi is the only alternative to the obfuscated and overengineered booting through fastboot, because there is no traditional bootloader like u-boot available for hikey960.
