87 -----------------------
88 The EDK 2.0 is being managed by the Subversion Source Control on Tianocore.org.
89 This software package provides speed, security, and additional features. The
90 recommended client is TortoiseSVN version 1.3.3.
91 (Available at http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/)
93 There are instructions for the use of Subversion Source Control on the
94 Tianocore.org website, as part of the checkout procedures.
96 The URL of the EDK 2.0 repository is:
97 https://edk2.tianocore.org/svn/edk2/trunk/edk2
99 -----------------------
100 Notes On Documentation
101 -----------------------
102 The documents are being managed by the Subversion Source Control on
103 Tianocore.org. The document repository is "docs" and must be checked out
104 separately from the EDK 2.0 source tree. Refer to the checkout procedures on
105 the Tianocore.org website for EDK 2.0.

112 Notes On Required Tools (MS Windows environment example)
113 -----------------------
114 Software Installation Order:
115 After installing the compiler tools and your Subversion client, the following
116 required tools should be installed in order:
117 Java JDK, Apache-Ant, ant-contrib, xmlbeans, saxon8
119 Java Development Kit:
121 The Java Environment Variable must be set before attempting to build.
122 i.e. For Sun JDK (see note below*):
123 set JAVA_HOME=c:\ Java\jdk1.5.0_06
124 i.e. For Bea Systems:
125 set JAVA_HOME=c:\Program Files\Java\jrockit-R26.0.0-jdk1.5.0_04
127 *When using the Sun JDK5.0
128 During installation, you should specify the install directory as C:\Java
129 instead of C:\Program Files\(or some other drive letter.) While installing
130 to this non-standard location is not required. In use, it seems to work
132 For the JDK, the install path would be C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_06
133 For the JRE, the install path would be C:\Java\jre1.5.0_06
134 Alternatively, you can specify C:\sunjavajdk and C:\sunjavajre.
136 NOTE: You cannot combine the location for the JDK and the JRE, as the JRE
137 install removes most of the binaries and libraries installed by the JDK
141 The Apache-ANT requires the ANT_HOME environment variable to be set before
143 i.e. set ANT_HOME=c:\<full path to where ant was installed>
145 The ant-contrib.jar file should be installed in the %ANT_HOME%\lib
148 The XMLBeans, requires the XMLBEANS_HOME environment variable to be set
149 before attempting to build:
150 i.e. set XMLBEANS_HOME=C:\<full path to where xmlbeans was installed>
152 The saxon8.jar file should be copied to the %XMLBEANS_HOME%\lib directory.
154 The Ant and XMLBean tools are required to be in the path.
156 set PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin;%XMLBEANS_HOME%\bin
157 Linux/OS X bash shell example:
158 export PATH=$PATH:${ANT_HOME}/bin:${XMLBEANS_HOME}/bin
160 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
163 Edit the text file, msft_tools_def.txt, located in the Tools/Conf directory.
164 This file contains the names of the compiler tool chains and the location of
165 the compiler binaries. It has been pre-populated with the standard location
166 for the Microsoft tool chains and includes the standard location of the Intel C
167 Compiler for EFI Byte Code (EBC)
169 Follow the instructions at https://edk2.tianocore.org/servlets/ProjectSource to
170 checkout the entire EDK 2.0 source tree.
172 In a command window, change to the top level directory of the Edk 2.0 sources.
173 Set the WORKSPACE environment variable, e.g.:
175 c:\> set WORKSPACE=C:\MyWork\Edk2.0
177 To test your tool chain setup and to build the Supplied Tools, execute:
178 c:\MyWork\Edk2.0\> edksetup
180 (This command will be referred to as the setup command throughout the rest of
182 NOTE: You should run the setup command at the start of every session.
183 This configures the environment to include the TianoTools and the
184 Java applications and libraries.
186 Once this is completed, you are ready to test the Build, by executing:
187 c:\MyWork\Edk2.0\> ant
189 This command builds all of the packages, including the NT32 reference platform.
191 -------------------------
192 Individual Package Builds
193 -------------------------
194 After running the setup command, you can build individual packages.
195 In the command window, cd to the package that you want to build, and just
197 c:\MyWork\Edk2.0\EdkNt32Pkg\> ant
199 The EdkNt32Pkg has a special target; "run" that will execute the Nt32 emulation
200 platform under Microsoft Windows.
202 ------------------------
203 Individual Module Builds
204 ------------------------
205 After running the setup command, you can build individual modules.
206 In the command window, cd to the module that you want to build, and just
208 c:\MyWork\Edk2.0\MdePkg\Library\BaseLib\> ant
210 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
213 The Apache-ANT program is a build tool that uses XML-based project files.
214 Similar to Makefiles, these project files may contain multiple targets. Most
215 build.xml files in Edk2.0 are auto-generated; any edits performed on the
216 build.xml files will be overwritten the next time ant is executed.
218 Pre-defined targets in the build.xml files include:
219 all - This target builds binaries for defined architectures
220 clean - This target removes object files generated by commands
221 cleanall - This target removes all generated files and directories.
223 A Word on GCC tool chain
224 ------------------------
225 You will find a script in the tree that will download, configure, compile, and
226 install a gcc 4.0.2 tool chain for development. It has support for the ia32
227 architecture. It can be built and run on Cygwin, Linux, and many other POSIX
228 compliant host environments. There are a few tools that you will need on your
229 host computer in order to compile the tool chain. Among them are bash, gcc,
230 gmake, curl (or wget).
232 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
235 ===============================================================
240 A) Surface Area Package Description (SPD) file contains information about the
241 modules that the package contains, including the location of all MSA files, and
242 public library names and headers that might be provided by a module in the
243 package. Packages are defined by SPD files. (Found in the root of the Package
244 subdirectory (i.e. EdkNt32Pkg)) The SPD is further explained in the "Build
245 Packaging Specification" document.
247 B) Module Surface Area Definition (MSA) files. A description of a module's
248 surface area, with all module specific default flags and features specified.
249 Refer to the "Module Surface Area Architecture Specification" for additional
250 details. The MSA is further explained in the "Build Packaging Specification"
253 C) Module Build Description (MDB). The "as-built" definition file that contains
254 only the changes to the default flags defined in the MSA. The MSA and MDB are
255 further explained in the "Build Packaging Specification" document.
257 D) Platform Configuration Database (PCD). A platform database which contains a
258 variety of current platform settings or directives by which a driver or
259 application can interact with. The PCD is defined by the PCD_Protocol (This is
260 further explained in the "Platform Configuration Database Infrastructure
261 Description" document.
263 E) Library Class. A library class is a logical grouping of similar functions.
264 When developing components, the module surface area declares the class of
265 libraries that can be used by the component. The MBD file specifies the
266 instance(s) of the library that will be used during compilation/linking. All
267 library type modules must include header files in their distribution package,
268 as well as their surface area and module build description files. Components,
269 on the other hand, need only provide the binary and build description files
270 when distributing BINARY packages. The Library Classes are further explained
271 in the "Build Packaging Specification" document.
273 =========================================================================
274 The common operations by developers of new modules are:
275 -------------------------------------------------------
277 1) How to manually create a new module in a package:
278 - The module source code must first be created in an appropriate directory
279 (under the package the module is to be a part of.)
280 - An MSA file must be created, spelling out all aspects of the module.
281 - The MSA must be added to the SPD for the package to include the module.
283 -----------------------------------------
284 2) Add/Remove module(s) to/from a package:
286 - Setup environment as Build
287 - Add a module to a package
288 * Generate the module SurfaceArea description file and build description
290 * Run GenBuildFile.bat under <PackageDir> to generate an entrance
291 build.xml for the module
292 * Add a new <MsaFile> element under <MsaFiles> into
293 <PackageDir>\<PackageName>.spd, using relative path to package
294 * Add a new <ModuleSA> entry under each <TianoImage> into
295 <PackageDir>\<PackageName>.fpd file
297 - Remove a module from a package
298 * Comment out or remove corresponding <MsaFile> element under <MsaFiles>
299 from <PackageDir>\<PackageName>.spd
300 * Comment out or remove corresponding <ModuleSA> entry under each
301 <TianoImage> from <PackageDir>\<PackageName>.fpd
303 -----------------------------------
304 3) How to manually create a package:
305 - Identify the modules that are to be members of the project.
306 - Identify the Variables and Guids required in and of the Package (including
307 consumption/production information).
308 - Create an SPD file defining these modules and calling out their MSA files.
310 --------------------------------------
311 4) Declare a new Protocol in a package:
312 - This release requires manual editing of the SPD file, adding the protocol
313 to the ProtocolDeclarations section of the file.
314 - Add the Protocol .h file to the Include\Protocol directory.
315 - Add an <Entry> to the <ProtocolDeclarations> element in the
316 <PackageName>.spd file
317 * Each line contains Protocol base name then the global variable name and
318 then the hex value of the Protocol GUID.
320 Example Protocol Entries (NOTE: The Guid entry is a single line in the SPD file):
321 <ProtocolDeclarations>
322 <Entry Name="UnicodeCollation">
323 <C_Name>gEfiUnicodeCollationProtocolGuid</C_Name>
324 <Guid>{ 0x1d85cd7f, 0xf43d, 0x11d2, 0x9a, 0xc, 0x0, 0x90, 0x27,
325 0x3f, 0xc1, 0x4d }</Guid>
327 <C_Name>gEfiUsbHcProtocolGuid</C_Name>
328 <Guid>{ 0xf5089266, 0x1aa0, 0x4953, 0x97, 0xd8, 0x56, 0x2f, 0x8a,
329 0x73, 0xb5, 0x19 }</Guid>
331 ---------------------------------
332 5) Declare a new PPI in a package:
333 - This release requires manual editing of the SPD file
334 - Add the PPI .h file to the Include\Ppi directory.
335 - Add an <Entry> to the package <PpiDeclarations> element in the
336 <PackageName>.spd file
337 * Each line contains PPI base name then the global variable name and then
338 the hex value of the PPI GUID.
340 Example Ppi Entries (NOTE: The Guid entry is a single line in the SPD file):
342 <Entry Name="NtPeiLoadFile">
343 <C_Name>gNtPeiLoadFilePpiGuid</C_Name>
344 <Guid>{ 0xfd0c65eb, 0x405, 0x4cd2, 0x8a, 0xee, 0xf4, 0x0, 0xef, 0x13,
347 <Entry Name="NtThunk">
348 <C_Name>gPeiNtThunkPpiGuid</C_Name>
349 <Guid>{ 0x98c281e5, 0xf906, 0x43dd, 0xa9, 0x2b, 0xb0, 0x3, 0xbf,
350 0x27, 0x65, 0xda }</Guid>
355 ----------------------------------
356 6) Declare a new GUID in a package:
357 - This release requires manual editing of the SPD file to include the new
358 Guid. This is identical to adding a ProtocolDeclaration or PpiDeclaration
359 element as described above.
361 ---------------------------------------
362 7) Define a new PCD entry in a package:
363 - This release requires manual editing of the SPD file to include the new
364 PCD. New Pcd entries are added to the PcdDefinitions section of the
365 <PackageName>.spd file using the following example for the format:
366 NOTE: The hex <Token> value must be unique.
369 <PcdEntry ItemType="FIXED_AT_BUILD">
370 <C_Name>PcdMaximumUnicodeStringLength</C_Name>
371 <Token>0x00000001</Token>
372 <DatumType>UINT32</DatumType>
373 <DefaultValue>1000000</DefaultValue>
377 ------------------------------
378 8) Declare a new Library Class:
379 - This release requires manual editing of the SPD file to include the new
380 Library Class. New Library Class entries are added to the
381 LibraryClassDeclarations seection of the <PackageName>.spd file using
382 the following example for the format:
384 <LibraryClassDeclarations>
385 <LibraryClassDeclaration>
386 <LibraryClass>BaseLib</LibraryClass>
387 <IncludeHeader>Include/Library/BaseLib.h</IncludeHeader>
388 </LibraryClassDeclaration>
389 </LibraryClassDeclarations>
391 --------------------------------------
392 9) Add a library instance to a package:
393 - This requires manual MSA and MBD file.
395 -----------------------------
396 10) Add a module to a package:
397 - This requires manual MSA and MBD editing
400 =======================================================
403 The EDK 2.0 represents significant changes in the structure of the EDK.
404 Therefore it is very difficult to isolate all of the changes of this version of
405 the EDK with the previous (EDK 1.0) version.
409 1) EDK 2.0 contains new hardware feature support for the ICH SMBUS Libraries.
410 These libraries are provided to make Memory Reference Code (MRC) development
412 2) The MDE Libraries - The MDE libraries represent significant changes in source
413 (with only limited changes in functionality.) These new libraries conform
414 to the "MDE Library Specification".
415 3) The Fat Binary and the EDK Shell Binary Packages are functionally identical
416 to the EDK 1.0 version.
417 4) The EDK tools directory has been expanded to include more tools and more
419 5) The EDK NT32 section has been ported to the new build process, but
420 functionally remains the same as the EDK 1.0 version.
421 6) The Application "HelloWorld" has been ported to EDK 2.0 as well.
