We want to add a new firmware solution (coreboot) to support the RISC-V server platform, and the new solution supports getting ACPI/SMBIOS in a new way (devicetree).

@weidongwd : This version of the platform spec is no longer being actively developed. Instead of that, it has been split to a boot runtime services (BRS) spec and a server SoC spec

  1. Why not maintain this platform spec now?
  2. Non-UEFI firmware (coreboot) has no runtime service. How does the patch I mentioned fit into your specs?

That decision to split the specification happened more than a year ago at RVI level. I referred to the new WIP specifications that will replace this specification.

The BRS spec has UEFI chapters as well. I am not sure what's the intention of this patch as coreboot provides an alternative method of booting compared to UEFI. However, if RVI compliance is the objective, you need to work with BRS specification which is correct specification going forward. You can join BRS mailing list and discuss this in upcoming meetings.
