+ The bootefi command accepts one to three arguments.
+ If the second argument contains a colon ':', it is assumed to specify the
+ initial RAM disk.
+
image_addr
Address of the UEFI binary.
-fdt_addr
- Address of the device-tree or '-'. If no address is specifiy, the
- environment variable $fdt_addr is used as first fallback, the address of
- U-Boot's internal device-tree $fdtcontroladdr as second fallback.
- When using ACPI no device-tree shall be specified.
-
image_size
Size of the UEFI binary file. This argument is only needed if *image_addr*
does not match the address of the last loaded UEFI binary. In this case
a memory device path will be used as image file path in the loaded image
protocol.
+initrd_addr
+ Address of the Linux initial RAM disk or '-'. If no address is specified,
+ no RAM disk is used when booting.

+initrd_size

UEFI binaries that are contained in FIT images are launched via the
*bootm* command.
