Liming,
Is this done via the [Hii-Binary-Package.UEFI_HII] rule? It looks like VS tool
chain will use rc.exe, and GCC uses objcopy.
It looks like the objcopy renames the .data section to .hii. Does this mean
GenFW is not correctly processing .hii sections when converting ELF files to
PE/COFF?
Thanks,
Andrew Fish
