+--------------------------------------------------------------------\r
+Notes On Required Tools (With examples for Windows, OS X, and Linux*) \r
+--------------------------------------------------------------------\r
+Software Installation Order:\r
+ After installing the compiler tools and your Subversion client, install the \r
+ following required tools in this order: \r
+ 1. Java JDK\r
+ 2. Apache-Ant\r
+ 3. ant-contrib\r
+ 4. xmlbeans\r
+ 5. saxon8\r
+\r
+Java Development Kit:\r
+ \r
+ The Java Environment Variable must be set before attempting to build.\r
+ For Sun JDK (see note below?:\r
+ set JAVA_HOME=c:\Java\jdk1.5.0_06 (Windows example)\r
+ export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home/ (OS X example)\r
+ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/ (Linux example)\r
+ For Bea Systems:\r
+ set JAVA_HOME=c:\Java\jrockit-R26.0.0-jdk1.5.0_04\r
+ \r
+ ?When using the Sun JDK5.0:\r
+ During installation, you should specify the install directory as C:\Java\r
+ instead of C:\Program Files\(or some other drive letter.) While installing\r
+ to this non-standard location is not required, in practice, it seems to work \r
+ more reliably. \r
+ For the JDK, the install path is C:\Java\jdk1.5.0_06\r
+ For the JRE, the install path is C:\Java\jre1.5.0_06\r
+ Alternatively, you can specify C:\sunjavajdk and C:\sunjavajre.\r
+\r
+ NOTE: You cannot combine the location for the JDK and the JRE, because the \r
+ JRE install removes most of the binaries and libraries installed by the JDK\r
+ install.\r
+\r
+Java Tools:\r
+ The Apache-ANT requires the ANT_HOME environment variable to be set before\r
+ attempting to build:\r
+ set ANT_HOME=c:\<full path to where ant was installed>\r
+ export ANT_HOME=~/ExternalTools/apache-ant (OS X and Linux example)\r
+\r
+ The ant-contrib.jar file should be installed in the %ANT_HOME%\lib \r
+ directory.\r
+\r
+ XMLBeans, requires the XMLBEANS_HOME environment variable to be set\r
+ before attempting to build:\r
+ set XMLBEANS_HOME=C:\<full path to where xmlbeans was installed>\r
+ export XMLBEANS_HOME=~/ExternalTools/xmlbeans (OS X and Linux example)\r
+\r
+ Copy the saxon8.jar file to the %XMLBEANS_HOME%\lib directory.\r
+\r
+ The Ant and XMLBean tools must be in the path.\r
+ MS system example:\r
+ set PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin;%XMLBEANS_HOME%\bin\r
+ Linux/OS X bash shell example:\r
+ export PATH=$PATH:${ANT_HOME}/bin:${XMLBEANS_HOME}/bin\r
+\r
+--------------------\r
+A Word on Apache-ANT\r
+--------------------\r
+The Apache-ANT program is a build tool that uses XML-based project files.\r
+Similar to Makefiles, these project files may contain multiple targets. Most\r
+build.xml files in EDK II are auto-generated; any edits performed on the\r
+build.xml files will be overwritten by the next build.\r
+\r
+Pre-defined targets in the build.xml file include:\r
+ all - This target builds binaries for defined architectures.\r
+ clean - This target removes object files generated by commands.\r
+ cleanall - This target removes all generated files and directories.\r
+\r
+----------------------------\r
+A Word on the GCC Tool Chain\r
+----------------------------\r
+\r
+EDK II will not compile with a standard Linux gcc tool chain. While Linux\r
+distributions are usually based on ELF, EDK II requires a version of gcc that\r
+is configured to produce PE-COFF images. You will find a script in <Root of\r
+EDK2 tree>/Tools/gcc/tianoCross-gcc-4.1 that will download, configure, compile,\r
+and install a gcc 4.1 cross-compile tool chain for EDK II development. This\r
+custom tool chain supports the IA-32 architecture. It can be built and run on\r
+Cygwin, Linux, and many other POSIX-compliant host operating environments. To\r
+compile the custom gcc tool chain, you need the following tools on your host\r
+computer: bash, gcc, gmake, curl (or wget).\r
+\r
+Only the MdePkg and EdkModulePkg are currently supported by gcc builds. Other\r
+builds, such as the EdkNt32Pkg, will not compile with gcc. By default, the edk2\r
+will try to build the NT32.fpd, which is not supported by gcc. So, you need to\r
+change the Tools/Conf/target.txt.\r
+\r
+The cross-compile build script has been tested on Cygwin, OS X and Linux. You\r
+should expect to hack on these scripts to make them work on your system. You\r
+may need to install additional tools on your system to make the scripts work.\r
+\r
+You will need\r
+\r
+ A recent version (3.0 or later should be fine) of gcc that is able to produce\r
+ executables for the machine that you want to run this compiler on (the host\r
+ machine).\r
+ wget or curl (which enables the download of the gcc compiler source code)\r
+ tar\r
+ bzip\r
+ gzip\r
+ bash\r
+ and possibly others\r
+\r
+CYGWIN Notes\r
+\r
+You should setup cygwin to use binmode on all mounts. When you initially\r
+install cygwin it gives you the choice of Unix file mode (recommended) or DOS\r
+file mode. Unix mode will cause all the cygwin directories to be mounted in\r
+binmode, while DOS will mount the dirs in textmode. Here is an example of a\r
+cygwin install where the dirs are (properly) mounted in binmode.\r
+To view mount information, type: \r
+ mount\r
+\r
+C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type user (binmode)\r
+C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type user (binmode)\r
+c:\workspace on /workspace type system (binmode)\r
+C:\cygwin on / type user (binmode)\r
+\r
+If you use textmode, it is likely that the build will fail in a way that is\r
+hard to debug. Textmode is required to retain or add the DOS ^M characters\r
+in DOS batch files during file editing sessions.\r
+\r
+You can switch from textmode to binmode for compilation by executing the \r
+following:\r
+ mount -b --change-cygdrive-prefix cygdrive\r
+\r
+Cygwin is pretty slow, so it is not recommended for large builds.\r
+\r
+\r
+\r
+\r
+\r
+The platform to be built is identified by the Tools/Conf/target.txt file:\r
+\r
+#\r
+# PROPERTY Type Use Description\r
+# ---------------- -------- -------- -----------------------------------------------------------\r
+# ACTIVE_PLATFORM Filename Recommended Specify the WORKSPACE relative Path and Filename \r
+# of the platform FPD file that will be used for the build\r
+# This line is required if and only if the current working\r
+# directory does not contain one or more FPD files.\r
+\r
+ACTIVE_PLATFORM =\r
+ \r
+You can leave it black, as above, or set it to any .fpd file in the workspace.\r
+If you leave it blank, then you just cd to the dir that contains the .fpd that\r
+you would like to build (MdePkg/ or EdkModulePkg/) and then type build.\r
+\r
+----------------------------\r
+A Word on compiling on Linux\r
+----------------------------\r
+\r
+In order to compile on Linux, you will need to have the e2fsprogs-devel package\r
+installed. Check your distribution for the rpm, deb or other package format.\r
+This package contains the uuid library and header that are used by some of the\r
+host tools.\r
+\r
+If you are running on x86_64 Linux, then you should install a 64 bit version of\r
+the Java JDK. The version that was used was jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-amd64-rpm.bin.\r
+It may be downloaded from sun.com.\r
+\r
+-----------------------------------------\r
+A Word on compiling under Cygwin with gcc\r
+-----------------------------------------\r
+\r
+Cygwin is a POSIX style operating environment for Windows. It is possible to\r
+compile the EDK 2 using gcc and cygwin. Compiling under cygwin is slow, because \r
+the underlying file accesses are slow in cygwin. For this reason, we do not \r
+encourage the use of cygwin. A true unix system will be a superior choice for \r
+those wishing to compile with gcc.\r
+\r
+Make sure that you select the e2fsprogs development package when you install\r
+cygwin. It is necessary for the GenFvImage tool.\r
+\r
+----------------------------------------\r
+A Word on gcc for Processor Architectures\r
+----------------------------------------\r
+\r
+Currently gcc support is limited to IA-32 builds, generating IA-32 PE32 images. \r
+\r
+The X64 bit (Intel 64, etc.) support under the gcc compiler does not support the EFIAPI \r
+calling convention (as defined in the UEFI 2.0 specification Chapter 2), so it is not \r
+possible to build a working EFI image for an X64 environment. Since the x64 gcc does \r
+not support the EFIAPI calling convention the x64 tools do not support generating a \r
+PE32+ image. The EFIAPI calling convention is very similar to the Microsoft x64 \r
+calling convention.\r
+\r
+On Itanium?Processors the gcc compiler does not support generating a PE32+ image.\r
+\r

+Notes on Documentation\r
+-----------------------\r
+The documents are being managed by the Subversion Source Control on\r
+Tianocore.org. The document repository is "docs" and must be checked out\r
+separately from the EDK II source tree. Refer to the checkout procedures on\r
+the Tianocore.org Web site for EDK II.\r
+\r
+The URL of the document repository is:\r
+ https://edk2.tianocore.org/svn/edk2/trunk/docs\r
+\r
+ \r
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r
+Quick Start\r
+-----------\r
+(assumes Microsoft Tools and OS environment, for GCC Tools or Linux, see \r
+"Detailed Starting Instructions" below)\r
+\r
+Follow the instructions at https://edk2.tianocore.org/servlets/ProjectSource to\r
+check out the entire EDK II source tree.\r
+\r
+In a command window, change to the top-level directory of the EDK II source.\r
+\r
+To test your tool chain setup and to build the supplied tools, execute:\r
+ c:\MyWork\edk2\> edksetup ForceRebuild\r
+\r
+(The edksetup script is referred to as the setup command throughout the \r
+rest of this document.)\r
+ NOTE: You should run the setup command at the start of every session.\r
+ This configures the environment to include the TianoTools and the\r
+ Java applications and libraries.\r
+\r
+You will need to set the WORKSPACE environment variable, or run the edksetup\r
+script (without any arguments), any time you want to build.\r
+\r
+ Set the WORKSPACE environment variable, e.g.:\r
+\r
+ c:\> set WORKSPACE=C:\MyWork\edk2\r
+\r
+You may need to edit the text files Tools/Conf/target.txt and\r
+Tools/Conf/tools_def.txt (created by edksetup) using your favorite \r
+text editor to ensure that the paths to the tools you want to use \r
+to build EDK II binaries are correct. These files contain the default \r
+paths (as per the default installation of the tools), so a customized \r
+install may require this manual process.\r
+\r
+Once this is completed, you are ready to test the build, by executing:\r
+ c:\MyWork\edk2\> build\r
+\r
+This command builds the active platform specified in text file target.txt. If \r
+the active platform is not specified target.txt, you must execute the build \r
+command from the sub-directory that contains FPD files. For more information \r
+about the active platform policy, see the \93EDK II Build and Packaging \r
+Architecture Specification.?
+\r
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r
+Detailed Starting Instructions\r
+------------------------------\r
+\r
+Follow the instructions at https://edk2.tianocore.org/servlets/ProjectSource to\r
+check out the entire EDK II source tree.\r
+\r
+In a command window, change to the top-level directory of the EDK II source.\r
+\r
+If the active compiler tool chain is GCC, you must set the\r
+environment variable, TOOL_CHAIN to "gcc" before running the\r
+edksetup script. Example: export TOOL_CHAIN=gcc\r
+\r
+To test your tool chain setup and to build the supplied tools, execute:\r
+ c:\MyWork\edk2\> edksetup ForceRebuild\r
+\r
+On Linux systems, you must source the edksetup.sh file to load the correct\r
+settings into your shell.\r
+\r
+ . edksetup.sh # Note the dot.\r
+\r
+If you have recently updated your code from subversion, the tools will need to\r
+be rebuilt if there were any code changes made to them. You can request that\r
+the tools get rebuilt by typing:\r
+\r
+ . edksetup.sh Rebuild # Unix-like systems\r
+ edksetup.bat Rebuild # Windows\r
+\r
+The edksetup script is referred to as the setup command throughout the \r
+rest of this document.\r
+ NOTE: You should run the setup command (edksetup)at the start of every \r
+ session. This configures the environment to include the \r
+ TianoTools and the Java applications and libraries.\r
+\r
+Any changes to the tool source code or XML Schema documents require that\r
+you execute the following:\r
+ c:\MyWork\edk2\> edksetup ForceRebuild\r
+\r
+You must set the WORKSPACE environment variable, or run the edksetup\r
+script (without any arguments), any time you want to build.\r
+\r
+ Set the WORKSPACE environment variable, e.g.:\r
+\r
+ c:\> set WORKSPACE=C:\MyWork\edk2\r
+\r
+You may need to edit the text files Tools/Conf/target.txt and\r
+Tools/Conf/tools_def.txt (created by edksetup) using your favorite \r
+text editor to ensure that the paths to the tools you want to use \r
+to build EDK II binaries are correct. These files contain the default \r
+paths (as per the default installation of the tools), so a customized \r
+tool installation may require this manual process.\r
+\r
+Once this is completed, you are ready to test the build, by executing:\r
+ c:\MyWork\edk2\> build\r
+\r
+This command builds the active platform specified in text file target.txt. If \r
+the active platform is not specified, go to the sub-directory that contains FPD \r
+files and execute the build command. For more information about the active \r
+platform policy, see the \93EDK II Build and Packaging Architecture \r
+Specification.?
+\r
+--------------------------\r
+Individual Platform Builds\r
+--------------------------\r
+After running the setup command, you can build individual platforms.\r
+In the command window:\r
+ Set the active platform in target.txt, and execute this command:\r
+ c:\<directory>\> build\r
+or\r
+ cd to the platform (FPD file) that you want to build and execute this command:\r
+ c:\MyWork\edk2\EdkNt32Pkg\> build\r
+\r
+ Note that the active platform specified in target.txt overrides the platform \r
+ specified by any FPD file in the current directory. For more information \r
+ about active platform policy, see the \93EDK II Build and Packaging Architecture\r
+ Specification.?\r
+\r
+To run the Nt32 emulation platform under Microsoft Windows, go to \r
+<full build path>\DEBUG\MSFT\IA32 and execute SecMain.exe\r
+\r
+To exit the Nt32 emulation platform, type \93reset?at the EFI Shell>\r
+command prompt. Alternatively, from the graphical interface, select the Boot\r
+Maintenance Manager's \93Reset System?command.\r
+\r
+ NOTE: When creating a new platform, the Platform Name is restricted\r
+ to a single word containing alphanumeric characters, underscore, dash, \r
+ and period. The space character and other special characters are \r
+ not allowed.\r
+\r
+-----------------------\r
+Notes on Symbolic Debug\r
+-----------------------\r
+To enable EFI Symbolic Debugging, make sure the target output is set to DEBUG\r
+in the text file Tools/Conf/target.txt and then modify the FPD <BuildOptions>\r
+<Options><Option BuildTargets="DEBUG" ToolCode="CC"> and append the following\r
+compiler options to the string:\r
+"/D EFI_GENERATE_SYM_FILE", "/D EFI_SYMBOLIC_DEBUG"\r
+\r
+(If the Option line does not contain "/D EFI_DEBUG", you must add that\r
+option as well.)\r
+\r
+------------------------\r
+Individual Module Builds\r
+------------------------\r
+After running the setup command, you can build individual modules.\r
+ In the command window, cd to the module that you want to build, and\r
+ execute the build command:\r
+ c:\MyWork\edk2\MdePkg\Library\BaseLib\> build\r
+\r
+ You must set the active platform in target.txt for individual module builds. \r
+\r
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------\r
+\r
+General Information:\r
+=============================================================== \r
+Mechanisms\r
+----------\r
+A brief overview:\r
+\r
+A) The Surface Area Package Description (SPD) file contains information about \r
+the modules that the package contains, including the location of all MSA files, \r
+and public library names and headers that might be provided by a module in the\r
+package. Packages are defined by SPD files. (Found in the root of the Package\r
+subdirectory (i.e. EdkNt32Pkg).) The SPD file is further explained in \93EDK II \r
+Build and Packaging Architecture Specification.?
+ \r
+B) Module Surface Area Definition (MSA) files. A description of a module's \r
+surface area, with all module specific default flags and features specified.\r
+For additional details, see the "EDK II Module Surface Area Specification" and \r
+the "EDK II Build and Packaging Architecture Specification."\r
+\r
+C) Framework Platform Description (FPD) files. A description of a platform's\r
+surface are, including a list of modules that are needed by the platform. To\r
+support individual module builds, developers are not required to provide\r
+information about specific flash devices, nor flash device layout. \r
+Specific sections in the FPD file control aspects of the build, such \r
+as the Supported Architectures and Build Targets, as well as the tool flags \r
+that are used to create the binary files. A valid platform file can specify \r
+zero or more modules, so individual modules can be compiled within the context\r
+of a platform (FPD) definition.\r
+\r
+D) Platform Configuration Database (PCD). A platform database that contains a\r
+variety of current platform settings or directives that can be accessed by a \r
+driver or application. The PCD is defined by the PCD_Protocol (This is\r
+further explained in the "EDK II Platform Configuration Database Infrastructure \r
+Description."\r
+\r
+E) Library Class. A library class is a logical grouping of similar functions.\r
+When developing components, the module surface area declares the class of\r
+libraries that can be used by the component. The MSA and SPD files can specify\r
+a recommended instance of the library that a platform integrator (PI) may \r
+select, however this is only a recommendation. The PI may choose to select a \r
+different library instance to be used during compilation and linking. All \r
+library type modules must include header files in their distribution package, \r
+as well as their MSA files. Components, on the other hand, need provide only an \r
+MSA file and either source or binary files when distributing packages. The \r
+Library Classes are further explained in the "EDK II Build and Packaging \r
+Architecture Specification."\r
+\r
+=========================================================================\r
+The common operations by developers of new modules are:\r
+-----------------------------------------------\r
+1) Manually creating a new module in a package:\r
+ - The module source code must first be created in an appropriate directory\r
+ (under the package the module is to be a part of.) \r
+ - An MSA file must be created, spelling out all aspects of the module.\r
+ - The MSA must be added to the SPD for the package to include the module.\r
+\r
+-----------------------------------------------------\r
+2) Adding and Removing modules to and from a package:\r
+\r
+ - Set up environment as Build\r
+ - Adding a module to a package:\r
+ - Generate the MSA file\r
+ - Add a new <Filename> element under <MsaFiles> into\r
+ <PackageDir>\<PackageName>.spd, using arelative path to the package\r
+ - Add a new <ModuleSA> entry under each <FrameworkModules> into the\r
+ <PackageDir>\<PackageName>.fpd file if necessary. \r
+\r
+ - Removing a module from a package:\r
+ - Comment out or remove the corresponding <Filename> element under \r
+ <MsaFiles> from <PackageDir>\<PackageName>.spd\r
+ - Comment out or remove the corresponding <ModuleSA> entry under each\r
+ <FrameworkModules> from <PackageDir>\<PackageName>.fpd if necessary. \r
+\r
+-------------------------------\r
+3) Manually creating a package:\r
+ - Identify the modules that are to be members of the project.\r
+ - Identify the Variables and Guids required in and of the Package (including\r
+ consumption and production information).\r
+ - Create an SPD file defining these modules and calling out their MSA files.\r
+ - Add a new <Filename> element under <PackageList> into \r
+ Tools\Conf\FrameworkDatabase.db, using the relative path to the workspace. \r
+\r
+-----------------------------------------\r
+4) Declaring a new Protocol in a package: \r
+ - This release requires manual editing of the SPD file, adding the protocol\r
+ to the ProtocolDeclarations section of the file. \r
+ - Add the Protocol .h file to the Include\Protocol directory.\r
+ - Add an <Entry> to the <ProtocolDeclarations> element in the \r
+ <PackageName>.spd file\r
+ - Each line contains Protocol base name, followed by the global variable \r
+ name, and the hex value of the Protocol GUID.\r
+\r
+Example Protocol Entries (NOTE: The Guid entry is a single line in the SPD \r
+file):\r
+<ProtocolDeclarations>\r
+ <Entry Name="Bds">\r
+ <C_Name>gEfiBdsArchProtocolGuid</C_Name>\r
+ <GuidValue>665E3FF6-46CC-11D4-9A38-0090273FC14D</GuidValue>\r
+ <HelpText/>\r
+ </Entry>\r
+ <Entry Name="Cpu">\r

+5) Declaring a new PPI in a package:\r
+ - This release requires manual editing of the SPD file\r
+ - Add the PPI .h file to the Include\Ppi directory.\r
+ - Add an <Entry> to the package <PpiDeclarations> element in the \r
+ <PackageName>.spd file\r
+ - Each line contains the PPI base name, followed by the global variable \r
+ name and the hex value of the PPI GUID.\r
+\r
+Example Ppi Entries (NOTE: The Guid entry is a single line in the SPD file):\r
+<PpiDeclarations>\r
+ <Entry Name="BootInRecoveryMode">\r
+ <C_Name>gEfiPeiBootInRecoveryModePpiGuid</C_Name>\r
+ <GuidValue>17EE496A-D8E4-4B9A-94D1-CE8272300850</GuidValue>\r

+7) Declaring a new PCD entry in a package:\r
+ - This release requires manual editing of the SPD file to include the new\r
+ PCD. New Pcd entries are added to the PcdDefinitions section of the\r
+ <PackageName>.spd file using the following example for the format\r
+ (NOTE: The hex <Token> value must be unique):\r
+\r
+<PcdDeclarations>\r
+ <PcdEntry ItemType="FIXED_AT_BUILD">\r
+ <C_Name>PcdMaximumUnicodeStringLength</C_Name>\r
+ <Token>0x00000001</Token>\r
+ <TokenSpaceGuidCName>gEfiMdePkgTokenSpaceGuid</TokenSpaceGuidCName>\r
+ <DatumType>UINT32</DatumType>\r
+ <ValidUsage>FIXED_AT_BUILD</ValidUsage>\r
+ <DefaultValue>1000000</DefaultValue>\r
+ <HelpText>The maximum lengh for unicode string.</HelpText>\r
+ </PcdEntry>\r
+</PcdDeclarations>\r
+ \r
+------------------------------\r
+8) Declaring a new Library Class:\r
+ - This release requires manual editing of the SPD file to include the new\r
+ Library Class. New Library Class entries are added to the \r
+ LibraryClassDeclarations section of the <PackageName>.spd file using\r
+ the following example for the format:\r
+\r
+<LibraryClassDeclarations>\r
+ <LibraryClass Name="BaseLib">\r
+ <IncludeHeader>Include/Library/BaseLib.h</IncludeHeader>\r
+ <HelpText/>\r
+ </LibraryClass>\r
+ <LibraryClass Name="BaseMemoryLib">\r

+EDK II Changes Relative to the original EDK:\r
+--------------------------------------------\r
+The EDK II represents significant changes in the structure of the EDK.\r
+Therefore, it is very difficult to isolate all of the changes of this version of\r
+the EDK with the original EDK.\r
+\r
+Of particular note:\r
+\r
+1) EDK II contains new hardware feature support for the ICH SMBUS Libraries.\r
+ These libraries are provided to make Memory Reference Code (MRC) development\r
+ easier.\r
+2) The MDE libraries represent significant changes in source\r
+ (with only limited changes in functionality.) These new libraries conform\r
+ to the "EDK II Module Development Environment Library Specification.?\r
+3) The Fat Binary and the EDK Shell Binary Packages are functionally identical\r
+ to the original EDK.\r
+4) The EDK tools directory has been expanded to include more tools and more\r
+ tool functionality.\r
+5) The EDK NT32 section has been ported to the new build process, but\r
+ functionally remains the same as the original EDK.\r
+6) The Application "HelloWorld" has been ported to EDK II as well.\r
