141 Reads the specified number of bytes into a buffer from the specified block.
143 The Read() function reads the requested number of bytes from the
144 requested block and stores them in the provided buffer.
145 Implementations should be mindful that the firmware volume
146 might be in the ReadDisabled state. If it is in this state,
147 the Read() function must return the status code
148 EFI_ACCESS_DENIED without modifying the contents of the
149 buffer. The Read() function must also prevent spanning block
150 boundaries. If a read is requested that would span a block
151 boundary, the read must read up to the boundary but not
152 beyond. The output parameter NumBytes must be set to correctly
153 indicate the number of bytes actually read. The caller must be
154 aware that a read may be partially completed.
156 @param This Indicates the FRAMEWORK_EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_BLOCK_PROTOCOL instance.
158 @param Lba The starting logical block index
161 @param Offset Offset into the block at which to begin reading.
163 @param NumBytes The pointer to a UINTN. At entry, *NumBytes
164 contains the total size of the buffer. At
165 exit, *NumBytes contains the total number of
168 @param Buffer The pointer to a caller-allocated buffer that will
169 be used to hold the data that is read.
171 @retval EFI_SUCCESS The firmware volume was read successfully
172 and contents are in Buffer.
174 @retval EFI_BAD_BUFFER_SIZE A read was attempted across an LBA
175 boundary. On output, NumBytes
176 contains the total number of bytes

198 Writes the specified number of bytes from the input buffer to the block.
200 The Write() function writes the specified number of bytes from
201 the provided buffer to the specified block and offset. If the
202 firmware volume is sticky write, the caller must ensure that
203 all the bits of the specified range to write are in the
204 EFI_FVB_ERASE_POLARITY state before calling the Write()
205 function, or else the result will be unpredictable. This
206 unpredictability arises because, for a sticky-write firmware
207 volume, a write may negate a bit in the EFI_FVB_ERASE_POLARITY
208 state but cannot flip it back again. In general, before
209 calling the Write() function, the caller should call the
210 EraseBlocks() function first to erase the specified block to
211 write. A block erase cycle will transition bits from the
212 (NOT)EFI_FVB_ERASE_POLARITY state back to the
213 EFI_FVB_ERASE_POLARITY state. Implementors should note
214 that the firmware volume might be in the WriteDisabled
215 state. If it is in this state, the Write() function must
216 return the status code EFI_ACCESS_DENIED without modifying the
217 contents of the firmware volume. The Write() function must
218 also prevent spanning block boundaries. If a write is
219 requested that spans a block boundary, the write must store up
220 to the boundary but not beyond. The output parameter NumBytes
221 must be set to correctly indicate the number of bytes actually
222 written. The caller must be aware that a write may be
223 partially completed. All writes, partial or otherwise, must be
224 fully flushed to the hardware before the Write() service
227 @param This Indicates the FRAMEWORK_EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_BLOCK_PROTOCOL instance.
229 @param Lba The starting logical block index to write to.
231 @param Offset Offset into the block at which to begin writing.
233 @param NumBytes The pointer to a UINTN. Input: the total size of the buffer.
234 Output: the total number of bytes actually written.
236 @param Buffer The pointer to a caller-allocated buffer that
237 contains the source for the write.
239 @retval EFI_SUCCESS The firmware volume was written successfully.
241 @retval EFI_BAD_BUFFER_SIZE The write was attempted across an
242 LBA boundary. On output, NumBytes
243 contains the total number of bytes

250 and could not be written.

274 Erases and initializes a firmware volume block.
276 The EraseBlocks() function erases one or more blocks as denoted
277 by the variable argument list. The entire parameter list of
278 blocks must be verified before erasing any blocks. If a block is
279 requested that does not exist within the associated firmware
280 volume (it has a larger index than the last block of the
281 firmware volume), the EraseBlocks() function must return the
282 status code EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER without modifying the contents
283 of the firmware volume. Implementors should note that
284 the firmware volume might be in the WriteDisabled state. If it
285 is in this state, the EraseBlocks() function must return the
286 status code EFI_ACCESS_DENIED without modifying the contents of
287 the firmware volume. All calls to EraseBlocks() must be fully
288 flushed to the hardware before the EraseBlocks() service
291 @param This Indicates the FRAMEWORK_EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME_BLOCK_PROTOCOL
294 @param ... A list of tuples.
295 Each tuple describes a range of LBAs to erase
296 and consists of the following:
297 - An EFI_LBA that indicates the starting LBA
298 - A UINTN that indicates the number of blocks to
301 The list is terminated with an
302 EFI_LBA_LIST_TERMINATOR. For example, the
303 following indicates that two ranges of blocks
304 (5-7 and 10-11) are to be erased: EraseBlocks
305 (This, 5, 3, 10, 2, EFI_LBA_LIST_TERMINATOR);
307 @retval EFI_SUCCESS The erase request successfully

313 correctly and could not be written.

316 @retval EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER One or more of the LBAs listed
317 in the variable argument list do
318 not exist in the firmware volume.
