This directory contains the next generation of EDK II build tools and template files.
 | 
						|
Templates are located in the Conf directory, while the tools executables for
 | 
						|
Microsoft Windows 32-bit Operating Systems are located in the Bin\Win32 directory.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The binary tools will be updated only after passing developer testing.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The BaseTools package will be updated with new tools only after all testing on a set
 | 
						|
of binary tools has successfully completed.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Current state of the tools is Proto-Type - not all tool functions have been implemented
 | 
						|
and there may be bugs in these tools.  These tools are under constant development at
 | 
						|
this time.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
BaseTools Simple Usage:
 | 
						|
1) Change the directory to the EDK2 root directory, where the edksetup.bat is
 | 
						|
2) Run "edksetup.bat NewBuild"
 | 
						|
3) Set the ACTIVE_PLATFORM to your desired platform description file 
 | 
						|
   (%WORKSPACE%\Conf\target.txt)
 | 
						|
4) To build platform, run "build" command in non-module directory
 | 
						|
5) To build module individually, run "build" command in module directory, i.e. where the 
 | 
						|
   *.inf file is
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Notes:
 | 
						|
1) The tree structure generated by build tools is similar to Ant build system.
 | 
						|
2) Makefile can be called directly by nmake for both top level platform and module. But
 | 
						|
   after you call "nmake cleanall", you have to call "build" command to rebuild platform
 | 
						|
	 or modules because the AutoGen.* files have been be removed. The "makefile" itself
 | 
						|
	 cannot generate AutoGen.* files. Only "build" command can.
 | 
						|
3) build.exe in %WORKSPACE%\BaseTools\Bin\Win32 is generated from following revision of
 | 
						|
   Python source code:
 | 
						|
        r844 <buildtools_project>\BaseTools\Source\Python\Autogen
 | 
						|
        r844 <buildtools_project>\BaseTools\Source\Python\build
 | 
						|
        r844 <buildtools_project>\BaseTools\Source\Python\Common
 | 
						|
        r844 <buildtools_project>\BaseTools\Source\Python\CommonDataClass
 | 
						|
        r844 <buildtools_project>\BaseTools\Source\Python\GenFds
 | 
						|
        
 | 
						|
4) GenFds.exe has is a combo of the follow python source.(This is a temporary branch)
 | 
						|
        r843 <buildtools_project>\BaseTools\Source\Python\Common
 | 
						|
        r843 <buildtools_project>\BaseTools\Source\Python\CommonDataClass
 | 
						|
        r843 <buildtools_project>\BaseTools\Source\Python\GenFds

Brief usage for Migration Tool MigrationMsa2Inf.exe:
 | 
						|
1. Command line format:
 | 
						|
  MigrationMsa2Inf [options]
 | 
						|
2. Input Files:
 | 
						|
  A syntactically valid MSA file
 | 
						|
3. Output Files:
 | 
						|
  An extended INF file with possible auto-generated EntryPoint.c, CommonHeader.h/CommonHeader.txt, depending on options and module contents.
 | 
						|
4. Prerequisite:
 | 
						|
   a. The workspace directory must be specified either by environment variable or -w option.  
 | 
						|
   b. The Framework Database file must exist to specify the available packages in current workspace. 
 | 
						|
      Two possible locations are: (The first location overrides the second)
 | 
						|
            $(WORKSPACE)\Tools\Conf\FrameworkDatabase.db
 | 
						|
            $(WORKSPACE)\Conf\FrameworkDatabase.db.  
 | 
						|
      The <PackageList> field in FrameworkDatabase.db lists all available packages in current workspace. 
 | 
						|
      One example:
 | 
						|
      <PackageList>
 | 
						|
        <Filename>MdePkg/MdePkg.nspd</Filename>
 | 
						|
        <Filename>MdeModulePkg/MdeModulePkg.spd</Filename>
 | 
						|
        <Filename>IntelFrameworkPkg/IntelFrameworkPkg.spd</Filename>
 | 
						|
      </PackageList>
 | 
						|
      The package list in FrameworkDatabase.db is important to the final quality of migration:
 | 
						|
      (1) It suggests the new package location: Translate package dependency Guid in MSA to Workspace relative path. 
 | 
						|
         If the package dependency Guid cannot be found in current workspace a warning message is raised. 
 | 
						|
      (2) It collects the Protocol/Guid/Ppi GuidCName a package contains. 
 | 
						|
         The GuidCName acts as "clue" to add e.g. #include <Protocol/DiskIo.h> in CommonHeader.h
 | 
						|
     
 | 
						|
5. Example:
 | 
						|
   WORKSAPCE has already been set: $(WORKSPACE) = c:\work\EdkII. 
 | 
						|
 
 | 
						|
   a. MigrationMsa2Inf -f c:\work\EdkII\Nt32Pkg\WinNtThunkDxe\WinNtThunk.msa -o c:\work\EdkII\Nt32Pkg\WinNtThunkDxe\WinNtThunk.inf
 | 
						|
   b. MigrationMsa2Inf -f c:\work\EdkII\Nt32Pkg\WinNtThunkDxe\WinNtThunk.msa -a
 | 
						|
   Example a & b are equivalent to migrate WinNtThunk driver from EDKII to EDKII' code base.
 | 
						|
  
 | 
						|
   c. MigrationMsa2Inf -f c:\work\EdkII\Nt32Pkg\WinNtThunkDxe\WinNtThunk.msa -a -c
 | 
						|
   The extra "-c" option performs several hardcode mapping due to the naming change in EDKII': 
 | 
						|
      OldMdePkg Guid -> MdePkgGuid, 
 | 
						|
      EdkModulePkg Guid -> MdeModulePkgGuid, 
 | 
						|
      EdkGraphicsLib -> GraphicsLib
 | 
						|
      HiiLib -> HiiLibFramework
 | 
						|
      ...
 | 
						|
   
 | 
						|
   d. MigrationMsa2Inf -f c:\work\EdkII\Nt32Pkg\WinNtThunkDxe\WinNtThunk.msa -m
 | 
						|
   The extra "-m" option suppresses the generation of "CommonHeader.h" and leave all C files intact. 
 | 
						|
   Instead, it generates "CommonHeader.txt". Developers can manually copy its content to a local common header file in a module. 
 | 
						|
 
 | 
						|
6. Known Limitations:
 | 
						|
   a. Tool does not handle Exit Boot Services Callback & Virtual Address Changed Event. Developers need  to handle it manually.
 | 
						|
   b. The #include <Library/AbcLib.h> is based on library class naming convention: The header filename for "AbcLib" class are "AbcLib.h" by convention.
 | 
						|
   c. The #include <Guid/Xyz.h>, <Protocol/Xyz.h> and <Ppi/Xyz.h> are added based on gGuidCName listed in MSA. 
 | 
						|
      If a GuidCName cannot map to a package Guid/Protocol/Ppi header file, a warning message is raised.
 | 
						|
      If a module uses the definition in a pakcage Guid/Protocol/Ppi header file without list its associative GuidCName, the build will beak. Developer needs to       manually add the include statement.
 | 
						|
   d. The [Depex] sections are generated from DXS files with Guid Macro translated to Guid CName by naming convention, etc.
 | 
						|
    If tool fails to "guess" the Guid CName from Guid Macro, it will leave the GuidMacro in [Depex] section for manual resolution.
 | 
						|
   e. When tool generates [Sources] section, the modifiers for source files are lost. (Need to add proper tool chain, etc)
 | 
						|
   f. When tool generates [LibraryClasses] section, the recommended library instances are lost. (No impact to build)
 | 
						|

Brief Usage for PcdSyntax Update:
 | 
						|
Usage:
 | 
						|
  PcdSyntaxUpdate.exe <directory_name>
 | 
						|
It searches all INF, DEC and DSC file under <directory_name> and update them with the following rules:
 | 
						|
1. Update INF files to conform to INF spec 0.44: 
 | 
						|
   a. Rename PCD section name: e.g. [PcdsFeatureFlag] -> [FeaturePcd]
 | 
						|
   b. Adjust PCD section item format: e.g. PcdDebugClearMemoryValue|gEfiMdePkgTokenSpaceGuid -> gEfiMdePkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdDebugClearMemoryValue
 | 
						|
   c. Update the syntax of binary INF file (not PCD related) 
 | 
						|
2. Update DEC files to confirm to DEC spec 0.36
 | 
						|
   Adjust PCD section item format: e.g. PcdWinNtPhysicalDisk|0x00001000|gEfiNt32PkgTokenSpaceGuid|VOID*|L"E:RW;245760;512"-> gEfiNt32PkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdWinNtFlashFvRecoverySize|0x0|UINT32|0x00001011
 | 
						|
3. Update DSC files to confirm to DSC spec 
 | 
						|
   a. Adjust string/array typed PCD item format: e.g. PcdWinNtMemorySizeForSecMain|gEfiNt32PkgTokenSpaceGuid|L"64!64"|12 -> gEfiNt32PkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdWinNtMemorySizeForSecMain|L"64!64"|VOID*|12
 | 
						|
   b. Adjust non-string/array typed PCD item format: e.g. PcdWinNtBootMode|gEfiNt32PkgTokenSpaceGuid|1 -> gEfiNt32PkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdWinNtBootMode|1
 | 
						|
   c. Update the override library class in [Components] section: e.g.
 | 
						|
   <LibraryClass> {
 | 
						|
      PcdLib|MdePkg/Library/BasePcdLibNull/BasePcdLibNull.inf
 | 
						|
   }
 | 
						|
   To 
 | 
						|
   <LibraryClasses> {
 | 
						|
      PcdLib|MdePkg/Library/BasePcdLibNull/BasePcdLibNull.inf
 | 
						|
   }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
2. Input File:
 | 
						|
  A syntactically valid SPD file
 | 
						|
3. Output Files:
 | 
						|
  A DEC file whose syntax confirms to DEC spec.
 | 
						|
     
 | 
						|
4. Example:
 | 
						|
   a. Spd2Dec -o c:\work\EdkII\Nt32Pkg\Nt32.spd c:\work\EdkII\Nt32Pkg\Nt32.dec
 | 
						|
   b. Spd2Dec -a c:\work\EdkII\Nt32Pkg\Nt32.spd
 | 
						|
   Example a & b are equivalent to migrate Nt32 package SPD file from EDKII to EDKII' snytax.

3. Output Files:
 | 
						|
  A DSC file which syntax confirms to DSC spec.
 | 
						|
4. Prerequisite:
 | 
						|
   a. The workspace directory must be specified either by environment variable or -w option.
 | 
						|
     
 | 
						|
5. Example:
 | 
						|
   WORKSAPCE has already been set: $(WORKSPACE) = c:\work\EdkII. 
 | 
						|
 
 | 
						|
   a. Fpd2Dsc -o c:\work\EdkII\Nt32Pkg\Nt32.dsc c:\work\EdkII\Nt32Pkg\Nt32.fpd
 | 
						|
   b. Fpd2Dsc -a c:\work\EdkII\Nt32Pkg\Nt32.fpd
 | 
						|
   Example a & b are equivalent to migrate Nt32 platform description file from EDKII to EDKII' snytax.
 | 
						|
  
 | 
						|
6. Known Limitations:
 | 
						|
   a. Tool does not handle Libraries Section since no related info in original FPD file. Developers need  to handle it manually in the output DSC file.
 | 
						|
   b. If MSA file which is corresponds to module guid could not be found in currect workspace, tool will dump the module guid.
