That's going to be a hard NOPE for me dawg; UEFI is an atrocity, go look at the tianocore source if you want to think otherwise. Just because it replaces traditional boot loaders does not make it better or easier. Hopefully the chinese risc-v offerings are less subserviant to the wintel agenda than this.

Feel free to use u-boot as payload embedded or loaded after opensbi; Nobody forces you to use EDK2.
