Re: [edk2] Build SCT with edk2

[Richardson, Brian]

Have you tried building with the most recent stable tag instead of the tip?

Hello,

It seems building SCT is supported with edk2 UDK2017 and not something recent. 
When I tried building it with tip, it fails. Is someone already working on 
making sure SCT can be built with edk2 tip?

Thanks
Ashish

I made some minor changes to the wiki to better emphasize the stable tag 
releases.

https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki 

https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II

Thank you all for the work on the latest release.

  https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-Release-Notes is

I meant to ask you about permanent links to already released stable tags, in 
the Wiki. For example, we have:

https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-Release-Notes#edk2-stable201903-tag

but we don't seem to have one for the previous stable tag (edk2-stable201811). 
Which is strange because I remember that we collected the changes for that 
release too, in the wiki.

... Ah, I see it now. The problem is with Wiki commit 63a756e8a134
("edk2 wiki: remove edk2-stable201811 tag planning in EDK-II-Release-Planning", 
2018-12-10). The content was removed completely.

For example, if I grep the wiki (currently at commit 664b82ca9684) for 
"id=1213", there are no hits. That means people cannot learn (or make 
references to) the fact, in the Wiki, that the edk2-stable201811 release fixed 
TianoCore#1213.

In my opinion, we should rather move that kind of content to a permanent 
Release Notes article in the Wiki.

Thanks

Re: [edk2] Creating my own flashing app

[Richardson, Brian]

Guy:

I would follow Andrew's advice and investigate the use of Secure Capsule to 
implement SPI Flash Update. This is becoming the standard, and has a number of 
advantages (signed, OS independent, platform independent, compatible with 
fwupd.org & Windows Update workflow).

General information is on the TianoCore wiki:
https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Capsule-Based-Firmware-Update-and-Firmware-Recovery
 

There is a capsule-based update app in EDK II:

On a secure platform you likely need to update using a secure capsule. 
https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Capsule-Based-Firmware-Update-and-Firmware-Recovery
 
The capsule is the standard method, and then all the FLASH update code is part 
of the ROM.

Generally since an EFI platform has NVRAM services in the NOR FLASH there is an 
SPI driver to write to FLASH.

So if your platform does not secure FLASH you can use the services from the ROM.

Or perhaps we should have an EDK2 Test product with an SCT component?

I've started having a look at this, and have a few comments:
- There is no Readme.md at the top level, as set out in 
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-staging/blob/about/README
  Mainly, this means I don't know who I should cc on any comments I have.
- There have been substantial changes to oniguruma, and the module no longer 
builds. Can we have exact commit hashes for the two external projects added to 
the toplevel Readme.md?
- At least Uefi/modets.c and Uefi/modos.c contain Ia32/X64-specific bits. Could 
these bits be put in architecture-specific subdirectories?

Re: [edk2] Enabling network interface for Realtek8168 chip

[Richardson, Brian]

The driver (.efi file) needs to be included in the EDK II project FDF file to 
be properly integrated into the binary firmware image. There is a good example 
of this in the MinnowBoard Max/Turbot project.

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/blob/devel-MinnowBoardMax-UDK2017/Vlv2TbltDevicePkg/PlatformPkg.fdf

Search for "Network Modules" to find the entry where the Realtek & Intel UNDI 
drivers are included in the build.

I contacted Zako's device firmware maintainer to add this driver to the 
firmware blob.

Meanwhile I am thinking what can I do to try this driver myself (in case if 
maintainer is busy and will not make the changes quickly).

Is there a way to load this driver programmatically from my UEFI application? 
So I can request and use SimpleNetworkProtocol. Googling did not give me any 
clear answer on this topic.

And if it does not work, what are other ways for me to enable the network?

Hello

I have a HP Chromebox (codename "zako") that is a small-form factor nice x86

At my cromebox I have an ethernet contoller that is identified by Linux `lspci` 
as "01:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. 
RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10ec:8168] (rev 0c)"

I want to use ethernet network from an UEFI application. I use
LocateHandle() to find a SimpleNetworkProtocol for me. Network works fine with 
QEMU and Intel e1000e controller. But at real hardware at Chromebox 
LocateHandle() handle returns error EFI_NOT_FOUND.

It sounds like the realtek driver is not enabled at UEFI firmware level.

Does anyone have pointers how to enable or implement Realtek8168 driver in edk2?

Re: [edk2] OVMF Logo

[Richardson, Brian]

You shouldn't have to hack BGRT in OVMF since you change the logo in the EDK II 
source.

Can you provide a screenshot to show what the logo corruption looks like?

Hmmm, generally that shouldn't happen; the logo's location is made available to 
windows via the BGRT (boot graphics resource table) ACPI table. When we added 
BGRT support to OVMF [*], the location / appearance of the Windows boot 
animation did change (because it started considering the TianoCore logo 
displayed by OVMF), but I don't recall any actual
*conflict* between the logo & the boot animation.

In brief, this shouldn't happen, and if it does, it's not specific to OVMF -- 
can you perhaps provide more information so that the MdeModulePkg maintainers 
might help with the investigation? What Windows release? What boot animation 
exactly? What screen resolution?

Thanks!

Hey,

As you have found out, Nt32Pkg is for Windows and shouldn't be built on Linux.
You can specify the platform descriptor file to build via the "-p " 
parameter.

Subject: [edk2] Source code debugging of OVMF

Hello everyone,

I'm doing a research project on efi security. I would like to do source code 
debugging of OVMF. I want to step through the OVMF source code, set break 
points, et cetera, preferably with gdb. I want to debug the overall boot 
process. Is that possible?

I understand I can start qemu with the options -s -S. This gives me a virtual 
machine that awaits connection of a gdb debugger and further instructions.

After connecting with gdb, I can instruct the machine to continue execution. 
Unsurprisingly, there is nothing else I can do, because gdb lacks the relevant 
symbols.
I tried to read in the OVMF.fd file, as i would do with a binary that I would 
debug, but gdb can't handle the file.
It seems to be possible to load an efi app with the file command, but not this 
one.

I found one other person trying to achieve the same five years ago. [3] 
suggests that something like this
> (gdb) add-symbol-file ../edk2/Build/OvmfX64/DEBUG_GCC5/X64/Shell.debug
> The address where ../edk2/Build/OvmfX64/DEBUG_GCC5/X64/Shell.debug has 
> been loaded is missing
might be possible. However, it appears to me this is may contain information 
regarding Shell.efi, an efi-app; but I don't want to debug an app. I want to 
debug the overall boot process.

I'm quoting some terminal output to clarify what I'm trying to achieve:
[johannes@johannes-laptop OVMF_efi_hello_world]$ gdb [...]
(gdb) file OVMF.fd
"/home/johannes/18S/bakk/uefi_virtual/OVMF_efi_hello_world/OVMF.fd": not in 
executable format: File format not recognized
(gdb) target remote localhost:1234
Remote debugging using localhost:1234
warning: No executable has been specified and target does not support 
determining executable automatically.  Try using the "file" command.
0xfff0 in ?? ()
(gdb) step
Cannot find bounds of current function
(gdb) list
No symbol table is loaded.  Use the "file" command.
(gdb) continue
Continuing.
[ovmf loads in qemu window]

I can redirect ovmf debug messages into a text file[1].
As far as I understand, there is a way to do source code level debugging
*with* ovmf, to debug efi-apps that are e.g. run via the efi shell[2], with the 
help of SourceLevelDebugPkg[4], but this package cannot be used to source level 
debug the overall boot process, right?

Is it possible to do source level debugging of ovmf?
Is it possible to step through ovmf, one instruction or function call at a time?
How are you ovmf developer debugging it?

If you could point me to the right direction, that would be great.

Kind regards,
Johannes

Ok, so you’re trying to build DUET for IA32 & x64 architecture. The command 
line looks correct per the README:

What version of NASM are you using?

Are you building from the latest code (master edk2 branch) or UDK2017 (stable

Re: [edk2] Intel Reference Board doesn't work after inserting INT 15h/86h into Flat32.asm

[Richardson, Brian]

Toan:

Calling an INT in SEC won't work, since the interrupt tables aren't populated 
yet. In general you can't assume that any INT function works under UEFI.

I'm not sure why you are having problems re-flashing the platform. I assume 
you're using a SPI programmer of some sort, which could point to other issues 
(wrong parameters, damaged flash part, etc.).

Why do you need a one second pause in SEC phase?
Which Intel reference board are you using?

I inserted these assemble code (BIOS wait function) into very first of

  MOV CX, 0FH

Then, the board stopped working. Status code showed "00".
Even when I re-flashed its original BIOS, it's still not worked.

Could anyone please help me to figure out what's happen here? And how to fix it?
I  appreciate your helps.

David:

DUET has a number of legacy dependencies, since it's designed to boot a UEFI 
environment over 16-bit BIOS. We don't recommend DUET for current development, 
since it's not actively under test. 
https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/DuetPkg  

Is there some reason you're using DUET rather than building a native UEFI image

Subject: [edk2] HELP: Qemu not able to load Duet image

Just wanted to followup on my experimentation with Qemu and EDK2's DuetPkg.
So far I have successfully been able to load the Duet image in Qemu after 
refining my image making skills. Though having an issue with UDK2010 NOT being 
able to load the 'Bootx64' or 'BootIa32' efi boot loader. I also compiled 
2010-SR1 and this problem is not present and works with 2010-SR1.
Using DDK3790 and VS2010 to compile both packages in DEBUG mode. Should also 
mention was able to load the EDK-2010 standard Duet Image inside Virtualbox as 
well HOWEVER need to turn on 'EFI' mode inside Virtualbox settings for the 
bootx64 or bootia32 efi loader to load!

You might ask why using such an old version of EDK? Well I have noticed that 
UDK-2010 compiles with the smallest file size and I am planing to insert the 
final image into my firmware with limited space so every KB counts!

So if anyone can offer some advice I would very much appreciate it..




Thank you.

Re: [edk2] Poll: When to use OVMF and Nt32?

[Richardson, Brian]

Thomas:

I generally recommend NT32 when developing UEFI applications that don't have 
dependencies for any specific hardware design/architecture, and only rely on 
UEFI Boot Services.

OVMF is running on virtualized hardware, so it's better for the following 
scenarios...
* Testing boot to an operating system and/or UEFI Runtime services (supports 
call to Exit Boot Services)
* Testing applications that have a dependency on a specific hardware 
design/architecture

OVMF is also better for EDK II development under Linux, since NT32 only 
executes under Microsoft Windows environments.

EDK2 community,

When developing/testing UEFI and you can easily choose between 
using OVMF and Nt32, which do you choose and why?  When is OVMF better/easier 
to use than Nt32 and vice versa?

I ask because I am giving an internal presentation to our newer

Subject: [edk2] Missing FAB_D blobs when building devel-MinnowBoard3-UDK2017 
for Leafhill CRB

Hi all,

I'm currently looking at edk2-platforms/devel-MinnowBoard3-UDK2017 [1] as a 
potential bootloader for a Leafhill-based board.

With a few tweaks I've managed to build an image using the FAB_B blobs, but 
we're experiencing performance issues (very slow boot time from GRUB2 to Yocto 
Linux, signs of I/O bottleneck when booted).
The build scripts suggest that the FAB_D IFWI blobs are required for Leafhill, 
and I have noticed these are not available for download [2].

Is anyone able to provide the FAB_D IFWI blobs, or are there instructions 
available to produce the SpiChunk blobs from the standard IFWI image?
I'm hoping that the reason we're experiencing performance issues is because of 
the wrong IFWI blobs being used.

Re: [edk2] DHCP Process Starts Even there is NO Media Connected

[Richardson, Brian]

We saw some problems running Linux UEFI Validation (LUV) at the last UEFI 
Plugfest that are probably related to this issue. At the time we asked the LUV 
team to investigate it as a test issue, but it may actually be a stack problem 
based on this information.

Have you filed a tracker in TianoCore Bugzilla for this issue?

Thanks ... br

Hi Jiaxin,

Please find my below comments/suggestions.


1.   Yes, Current DHCP4/6 Start() implementation doesn't check for Media 
Status. It will be better to implement it in order to sync with UEFI spec.

2.   DHCP process may be initiated by HTTP/PXE/ISCSI or Assigning IP 
(SetData) from Shell or using BIOS setup page.

HTTP,PXE and ISCSI is already Checking Media Presence before DHCP Start, So it 
will have NO effect if we do implementation in DHCP4/6 Start().

3.   Current implementation of EFI_IP4_CONFIG2_SET_DATA, also NOT handling 
checking Media Status.

a.   UEFI Spec NOT defines EFI_NO_MEDIA status code for 
EFI_IP4_CONFIG2_SET_DATA, I'm NOT sure what's reason behind it or might be 
missing.

b.  UEFI Spec defines EFI_DEVICE_ERROR status code for 
EFI_IP4_CONFIG2_SET_DATA, If we can use the same status for Media presence then 
no issues.

c.   When there is No Media connected and if we try to assign IP over 
DHCP(SetData), I guess there is no need to proceed further in 
EfiIp4Config2SetData and we can return with EFI_DEVICE_ERROR.

Based on above points(1 & 3.c ), I've updated the suggested changes and 
attached the same (CheckMediaStatus_V2.rar)

Could you please review and provide your comments.
Please correct  if anything wrong.

Thank You,

Hi Karunakar,

After talk with Siyuan, we agree it's reasonable to check the Media status 
before starting DHCP process, but we'd better check it in DHCP layer since the 
UEFI spec defines EFI_NO_MEDIA status code for DHCP4/6.Start(), but our current 
implementation doesn't check it.

What do you think?

Subject: [edk2] Official port of Python on EDK2

Hi,

UEFI has become the standard for firmware (BIOS) interface. Intel has provided 
an open source implementation under the name EDK2 (part of the TianoCore 
initiative) [1] for some time. This implementation has evolved significantly 
and now provides the functionalities of a small OS with a standard library 
similar to POSIX.

In 2011, a port of Python 2.7.1 was added to the EDK2 repository [2].
This port then evolved to 2.7.2 which is still defined as the reference port 
[3]. In 2015, another port was added of Python 2.7.10 in parallel of 2.7.2 [4]. 
Since then, both implementations have diverged from upstream and know 
vulnerabilities have not been fixed.

I would like to bring support for edk2 in the official Python repository to 
remediate this situation, that is officially support
edk2 as a platform. Technically, there would be three main aspects for the 
on-boarding work:

1) Fix headers and source to resolve definition conflicts, similarly to ABS 
definition in [5];
2) Add the edk2module.c [6] to handle platform-specific functionalities, 
similarly to the posixmodule.c;
3) Add the build configuration file [7] and necessary modifications within 
Python to handle the edk2 toolchain;

This work would target the master branch (that is Python 3). I would be 
interested in hearing your thoughts on this idea.

Thanks,
Thiebaud

Hello,

I'm using the UDK2015 release and I want to enable the Graphic Output on a PCI 
VGA adapter (PCI class code: 3, 0, 0). My VGA device doesn't provide any ROM.

In my FDF I've included the VgaMiniPortDxe and the VgaClassDxe. I haven't 
enabled the CSM layer.

When my board boots the screen doesn't display anything. The PCI device is 
enumerated (device found with pci command on the EFI shell).

Must I include another EFI driver to activate and/or initialize the VGA adapter 
or are these 2 drivers sufficient to enable the VGA display?
Can I use the VGA without the CSM layer?

Note: the display had already worked with a GOP driver on an AMD GPU. Is it 
possible to enable the GOP layer with the VGA layer?

Regards.

Did you build with "-DDEBUG_ON_SERIAL_PORT=TRUE" to enable the debug to go to 
the serial port?

Personally, I'd recommend *not* using DEBUG_ON_SERIAL_PORT, and instead of 
looking at tty0, add this to the qemu command line:

-debugcon file:debug.log -global isa-debugcon.iobase=0x402

Then debug.log will contain the debug messages.

(BTW, thanks Laszlo for implementing this! :)

Hi all,

More spring cleaning.

Two separate vendors, with quite different platforms, have submitted ports to 
OpenPlatformPkg making use of the "ramdisk" driver from 
https://svn.code.sf.net/p/efi-toolkit/code/trunk/efi-toolkit/protocols/ramdisk/

As part of moving their platforms to edk2-platforms I would just like to 
revisit that, so that they (on cc) can explain their use-cases and maybe others 
can chime in on alternative solutions to their problems?

Alternatively, is this something that _should_ be available in edk2?

UDL2015 is a stable snapshot of EDK II modules validated on Intel architecture

Re: [edk2] Improvements to build system etc. for edk2-platforms devel-MinnowBoard3?

[Richardson, Brian]

One thing we can try is automating the right setting for 
MAX_CONCURRENT_THREAD_NUMBER. In Windows, there's a command line utility to 
return the number of logical processors.

C:\Users\sample>wmic cpu get numberoflogicalprocessors
NumberOfLogicalProcessors
4 

This could be used to set MAX_CONCURRENT_THREAD_NUMBER 
(NumberOfLogicalProcessors+1, so 5 in this case) automagically in target.txt 
(via edksetup.bat) or as a command line parameter (in BuildBios.bat). I'm sure 
there's an equivalent shell command in Linux that can be co-opted for our 
purposes.

Thoughts?

Thanks ... br

Good point. I think the best approach will be to have a --setup parameter which 
configures defaults in Conf/target.txt, after which users can change 
MAX_CONCURRENT_THREAD_NUMBER - instead of the current method which involves 
figuring out which of files ends up running build.exe with '-n '.

Re: [edk2] Improvements to build system etc. for edk2-platforms devel-MinnowBoard3?

[Richardson, Brian]

We're ok with help fixing issues (yay open source), so thanks for the help. 
Patches are welcome at this time. But we do track them in Bugzilla, so opening 
an issue there is the first step to a solution. 

For the processor thread setting, note that we have historically disabled 
processor threading by default because we don't know the build system 
configuration. While we at Intel prefer everyone own an Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 or 
Intel(R) Xeon processor, we know that's not the case ... so keeping it disabled 
has been seen as a safe option. We should definitely do a better job of 
documenting that setting change, but I think we need to consider generically 
changing that setting by default in target.txt (which requires a Bugzilla 
entry).

The .bat/.sh files are required to trigger post-build tools, which are OS 
dependent. Even if the build was triggered by a Python script, we still need to 
do some verification to make sure there are no functional differences when we 
build in a Windows environment versus Linux (work in progress).

Thanks ... br

I'm more about _fixing_ issues I find rather than reporting them! Are you 
saying that patches wouldn't be welcome just now?  Is there a reason why you 
don't want to make full use of the CPU while building? And I understand that 
MinnowBoard 3 only builds under Windows at the moment, but if more of it built 
using python (and python is already listed as a prerequisite in the ReadMe 
file) the porting might be simpler.

[Richardson, Brian]

Thanks for the input. For future reference, you can use the TianoCore Bugzilla 
to report issues on any EDK II feature/platform. 
https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Reporting-Issues   

I agree the readme.md should be present, and use markup instead of plain text 
to work better in github. You can open an issue on this in Bugzilla.

Normally, we ask folks to change the number of processor threads based on their 
system configuration. We don't add a larger thread number by default, but it 
might be good to set it '5' by default (assuming a dual core processor with 
hyperthreading) instead of '1' (assuming a single core system w/o threading). I 
don't know if this will cause any compatibility issues on older systems, but 
it's worth a check.

At this time, MinnowBoard 3 build is only validated in Windows. That's why 
there is no equivalent .sh file for BuildBIOS yet, but it will be added once 
Linux build is verified and checked in.

Thanks ... br

The first change I'd make is to set 'buildthreads' in BuildBIOS to 
%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% - that by itself reduces the build time from around 7 
minutes to 2.5 on my system. I also have some changes to the ReadMe.MD file to 
convert it to be a MD file instead of plain text, which massively increases 
readability on GitHub.  I've also been wondering about allowing more parameters 
to be passed through to 'build' 
such as reducing the verbosity to make compiler warnings more apparent. 
Finally, and this is likely more controversial - I've been wondering if the 
build scripts like BuildBIOS should be in python instead of Windows .cmd/.bat 
since python is already used elsewhere and is more flexible.

Re: [edk2] Is the UDK2017 branch stable?

[Richardson, Brian]

UDK2017 is the current development branch. There is a stable release of UDK2017 
planned for Q2'17 based on items scheduled for the next UEFI specification 
update and other improvements (HTTP/HTTPS Boot, SignedCapsulePkg, bug fixes, 
...). 

We're working on getting a feature list to publish on the wiki. Unfortunately, 
some of this depends on UEFI spec info that we can't publish until the spec is 
finalized. I'll keep you posted.

Hi all,

On a fresh clone of the EDK2 repo, I noticed there is a "UDK2017"
branch.  Is this currently a stable branch, like UDK2015 before it?  I did not 
find any notes about a UDK2017 release on the tianocore website, only UDK2015 
(probably too new), so I wanted to check here before I use it as a starting

[edk2] Google Summer of Code 2017 - Requesting Input

[Richardson, Brian]

Mentor applications for the Google Summer of Code project start Thursday, Jan 
19. I will submit projects on behalf of TianoCore, so I would like developer 
input on proposals. We would need to propose specific projects, and be prepared 
to mentor students working on those projects.

Student Applications open on Mar 20, and our applications are due by Feb 9. 
This means I need suggestions by Feb 1 for consideration. I would also 
appreciate information on recommended platforms (QEMU, MinnowBoard Max/Turbot, 
Quark, ...) for project proposals.

I'm having a new problem with the 2.1 shell.  I've noticed that shell

This wasn't a problem on the 2.0 shell.  For example:

if %undefinedvar% == "xyz" then

Anyhow, I wanted to search the mailing lists first to see if this is a

Hello,
I am trying to build the Tianocore source from 
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2, as per the instructions here: 
https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Common-instructions-for-Unix

I am runnin on a Virtualbox VM running Ubuntu Desktop LTS.

I get as far as the "Build gcc x64 UEFI cross compiler" section.
The script mingw-gcc-build.py contains hardcoded references to download 
binutils and gcc.
In the case of binutils, it references a version that no longer exists in the 
archive (version 2.20.51.0.5).
In the case of gcc, it references version 4.3.0, on ftpmirror.gnu.org/gcc/, 
which redirects to other mirror sites, many of which are blocked by my firewall.
I tried getting around this by downloaded the files myself, and commented out 
the part of the script that downloads the sources (the call to sources.GetAll() 
- lines 553-558).
I downloaded binutils version 2.24.51.0.2, and gcc vesion 2.24.51.0.2.
It appears that binutils built, but gcc is not building.
Any advice?
Is there an updated version of mingw-gcc-build.py?

The commands do exist. But they're not in Tianocore, and have non-BSD license, 
owned by Intel not UEFI Forum.

http://www.intel.com/technology/efi/agree_diskutil.htm
https://firmwaresecurity.com/2015/09/26/intel-efi-disk-utilities/

But the license is not BSD. It even has a password-protected ZIP, making you 
read the outer zip's readme for the password.

I presume whoever wrote this code at Intel may've read the sources to the 
Microsoft FAT Windows file system code, thus the harsh license.

But now that Microsoft has relicensed the UEFI FAT FS driver, has anyone 
considered relicense the code to these tools too?

[Bhupesh] This link seems broken. I get a 404 error while trying to acess this 
branch. Does it require some special privileges.

Regards,

Re: [edk2] Boot 64-bit OS from EDK2 compiled for 32-bit?

[Richardson, Brian]

This is supported by recent builds of Debian. Use the 'multi-arch' version of 
the distribution.

Subject: [edk2] Boot 64-bit OS from EDK2 compiled for 32-bit?


I'm wondering if it is possible to boot a 64-bit Linux kernel from EDK2 that 
has been compiled for 32-bit?

If this is possible are there any caveats (e.g. is it possible to have more 
than 4GB memory, how does the 64-bit memory map get configured, etc.) ?

Brian
