Hi Everyone,
I hope you are all working on your proposals. If you would like some feedback
on your proposals before having to submit the final version of them on Tuesday
next week, please do one of the following:

Hey Ethin,
Welcome back! Finishing what one started is certainly a noble endeavor! It is

and therefore have a good idea of the adjustments you would need to make to be
successful this year.
So, the one thing that

A friendly reminder to those on the CC line to help review your
respective packages in this patch series.
Some of the patches are just minor changes to DSC files and others do
not have a significant number of changes.
Thanks,

Yeah the GMBUS I2C controller gets very temperamental if there is a protocol

Yup you are totally correct. There are a lot of features and services that
exist in a real hardware UEFI firmware that do not exist in OVMF. If you are

Great to meet you and welcome to the TianoCore project! Great to hear you are

I have one small concern on the naming - TdProbeLib.
Would it be better if we create a generic CcProbeLib, and just return the

The benefit is that just in case SEV has some usage in the future, we don’t

TdProbeLib is imported in BaseIoLibIntrinsicSev.
OvmfPkg/IntelTdx/TdProbeLib is the OvmfPkg version which checks
OvmfWorkArea to determine the Td guest type. It is included
in OvmfPkgX64.dsc and IntelTdx/IntelTdxX64.dsc.
