Question about "Architectural Protocol"


Fabrice DECROP LONGET
 

Hi,

To my understanding, Real Time Clock Dxe driver is part of what is called “Architetural Protocol”.

My question is : Are Architectural protocol mandatory in order to complete the boot of EDK2 ?

Does this means, as a consequence, that a RTC hw component is mandatory in ordrer to use EDK2 ?


Thanks in advance for your reply (event if it could appears as a newbie question 😉
