> As we all know, for a successful development kit, open source support is essential. Cix technology will actively embrace the community and contribute to open source. For the newly released Radxa Orion O6 development kit, Cix technology will promote the open source and upstream support of EDK2 firmware and Linux kernel in the first half of 2025.

We should see more upstream work starting after CNY. Anyway this board can already boot the vanilla Debian arm64 iso, thanks to the Day 1 EDK2 UEFI/ACPI support provided by Cix.

Is that EDK2 support being upstreamed into Tianocore projects?
Yes, Cix will do it.
Good to hear, thanks! Since most Linux folks get their boot firmware updates from the Linux Vendor Firmware Service (LVFS) rather than distros or upstreams, does Cix plan to work with the fwupd folks to include support for boot firmware updates?
