Oh! Sorry the documentation probably doesn’t mention this. You need to clone GitHub - AmpereComputing/edk2-ampere-tools: Ampere's unofficial tools for EDK2 development .

Thanks!

Wrote a script to simplify it:

#!/bin/bash

if [ ! -f $1 ]; then
	print "No edk2 build file"
	exit
fi

NEW_FW_NAME="Build/Altra1L2T/bios.bin"


cp ampere/ALTRAD8UD-1L2T_3.06.ROM ${NEW_FW_NAME}
cp ampere/MANIFEST Build/Altra1L2T/

dd if=$1 of=${NEW_FW_NAME} bs=1MB seek=6 conv=notrunc

cd Build/Altra1L2T/
tar cf fw-`basename $1`.tar bios.bin MANIFEST

Uses manifest file from 3.06 BIOS archive.

Have to check what I did wrong as boot process ended at memory initialization.

Flashed 3.06 back.

I built EDK2 with Networking and TPM2 disabled. Also would recommend you try flashing with the ampere_flash_bios.sh script on the BMC, with the main CPU powered off, if you haven’t already. Finally, building a DEBUG version instead of RELEASE will also give you much more serial console logging if necessary to track down boot failures.
