59 2) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/GenFds.exe
62 1) To generate capsule, insert [Capsule] section after [FV] sections and specifying
63 what FV will be put into capsule, For example:
65 CAPSULE_GUID = 3B6686BD-0D76-4030-B70E-B5519E2FC5A0

80 2) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/GenFds.exe
83 1) To generate Apriori file in FV, insert APRIORI statement just before the INF or
84 FILE statement list of the FV, For example:
86 INF MdeModulePkg/Universal/PCD/Pei/Pcd.inf
87 FILE PEIM = B7A5041A-78BA-49e3-B73B-54C757811FB6 {
88 SECTION PE32 = MyBinPkg\bin\ia32\PeimAfterPcd.efi
90 INF IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Universal/StatusCode/Pei/PeiStatusCode.inf
92 2) To add binary file described by INF file into FV, only insert the INF statement
93 into the INF statements list of that FV, like this:
95 INF RuleOverride=Test MdeModulePkg/Logo/Logo.inf
97 Specifying how to process the binary file by defining corresponding Rule like this:
98 [Rule.Common.Base.Test]
99 FILE FREEFORM = $(NAMED_GUID) {
