Description /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg is used to location /boot/grub/grub.cfg. But it seem like that we don't need to generate it manually. Here I use amd64 for example. arm64 should be same. If we use grub-efi-amd64-bin, grub-install will embed prefix in core.img which will be copied to /boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.efi. We can confirm in output/debug/install.log grub-install: info: grub-mkimage --directory '/usr/lib/grub/i386-pc' --prefix '(,gpt1)/boot/grub' --output '/boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img' --dtb '' --format 'i386-pc' --compression 'auto' 'ext2' 'part_gpt' 'biosdisk' ... grub-install: info: copying `/boot/grub/x86_64-efi/core.efi' -> `/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI'. If we use grub-efi-amd64-signed, grub-install will generate load.cfg to location the true configfile, which the same thing we do. We can confirm in output/debug/install.log grub-install: info: grub-mkimage --directory '/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi' --prefix '' --output '/boot/grub/x86_64-efi/grub.efi' --dtb '' --format 'x86_64-efi' --compression 'auto' --config '/boot/grub/x86_64-efi/load.cfg' 'ext2' 'part_gpt' 'search_fs_uuid' ... grub-install: info: copying `/usr/lib/grub/x86_64-efi-signed/gcdx64.efi.signed' -> `/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI'. grub-install: info: copying `/boot/grub/x86_64-efi/load.cfg' -> `/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/grub.cfg'. So this configfile is unnecessary. What's more, if we need boot partition (i.e. cryptroot), the path in it was incorrent. The first partition is /boot, so prefix will become /boot/boot/grub which is incorrent. So just let grub-install to do this job. How Has This Been Tested?

SBC Case Builder 2.0 tool to create enclosures for single board computers has been released with a customizer graphical user interface, additional cases & SBCs, support for variable height standoffs, and more. We wrote about the SBC Case Builder tool to easily generate various types of 3D printable enclosures using OpenSCAD earlier this year. The SBC Model Framework used in the solution was focused on ODROID boards, and you had to type the parameters in a configuration file. SBC Case Builder 2.0 software changes that with a convenient-to-use graphical interface allowing for the dynamic adjustment of any of the case attributes. The new version of the software also supports variable height standoffs, multi-associative parametric accessory positioning, and offers 8 “base cases”, namely shell, panel, stacked, tray, round, hex, snap, and fitted. The solution works with 47 SBCs defined in the latest version of the SBC Model Framework. The following SBCs [...] The post SBC Case Builder 2.0 released with GUI appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News. View the full article
