Improvements for upgrade path for UEFI on ARMv7
I just spent a little time researching UEFI. I have a few concerns, and
it probably explains a challenge I have had on my x86_64 notebook.
That is, I have the 'habit' of developing a build on a test system,
moving the drive to the production unit in my rack and booting up.
It seems I can do that with Legacy BIOS as it searches for a boot drive
with an MBR and goes from there. My take on UEFI is that the GUID for a
drive and other information is stored on the system board and that is
used to find the bootup drive. You swap out drives, it won't boot up.
Either you need a tool to change the GUID information in the system, or
change the GUID in the drive you are using.
I suppose one way is to set the GUID in my drive to what the production
system is expecting so that the move goes smoothly.
Do I have this right? Is there something else I should be aware of and
plan for?
thanks
thanks
