Köry, All,
On 2021-09-14 11:34 +0200, Kory Maincent spake thusly:
> Add support to boot the Grub bootloader from an EFI BIOS in the ISO9660
> image.
> For that we need to create EFI System Partition (ESP). The ESP is a vfat
> partition which contain the Grub2 binary at the /EFI/BOOT/ location.
> xorriso command will generate the iso image including the ESP.
>
> We notice Grub can not read and mount the ESP, therefore we place the Grub
> configuration file in the ISO9660 partition. A Grub2 builtin configuration
> need to be used to tell Grub2 to search automatically its configuration
> file in the ISO9660 partition.
I am not sure I got that last sentence. Did you refer to using 'cd' or
'root=(cd0)' as explain in the config help?
Also see further review below...

This looks really dubious. The CWD is always Buidroot's top directory,
so this would create boot/grub/ in Buildroot's tree. Weird...

... as this directory should normally be created with this "install -D".

We probably want to use --invariant with BR2_REPRODUCIBLE...

We may also need at least -m (Preserve the file modification time), and
maybe also -p (Preserves the attributes of the copied files), again with
BR2_REPRODUCIBLE (or always).

No need to introduce another variable, just use the existing one (notice
I have renamed it when applying previous patches) (I also tend to prefer
cionstant options first, then configurable ones last, unless order is
important), and for multi-line assignments, put one "option" per line:
ROOTFS_ISO9660_OPTS += \
-J \
-R \
-boot-load-size 4 \
-boot-info-table \
-no-emul-boot \
-b $(ROOTFS_ISO9660_BOOT_IMAGE)
ROOTFS_ISO9660_XORRISO_BOOTLOADER_COMMON_OPTS is never set, and indeed
you removed it in patch 5. Just do not introduce it to begin with, I
guess? ;-)

Ditto.
