Sure. I uploaded the release image extended with one extra (not
published) feature, which is 'fupdate' command capable of burning
images both on SD and MMC:
https://github.com/MarvellEmbeddedProcessors/edk2-open-platform/wiki/files/flash-image-18.09.4.bin

For building from sources, I updated official wiki site to 18.09
Marvell branches:
http://wiki.macchiatobin.net/tiki-index.php?page=Build+from+source+-+UEFI+EDK+II

I intend to substitute it with the mainline edk2-platforms, the gap is
really small now - I will announce, once that happens.

Best regards,
Marcin
