-compiler binaries. It has been pre-populated with the standard location for\r
-the Microsoft tool chains and includes the standard location of the Intel C \r

Follow the instructions at https://edk2.tianocore.org/servlets/ProjectSource to\r
\r
This command builds all of the packages, including the NT32 reference platform.\r
\r
+------------------------------------\r
+Build Architectures other than IA32.\r
+------------------------------------\r
+\r
+By default, we are set up to build the ia32 architecture. If you would like to\r
+build for IPF, x64 and EBC, please copy MdePkg/MdePkg-All-Arch.fpd to\r
+MdePkg/MdePkg.fpd. For EdkModulePkg, copy EdkModulePkg-All-Archs.fpd to\r
+EdkModulePkg.fpd. Note, you may also add only the architecture you want from\r
+the -All-Archs files to the main fpd file. This is preferred if you do not have\r
+all the compilers installed.\r
+\r
+Optionally, you may modify the path to the compiler in\r
+Tools/Conf/msft_tools_def.txt. The flags for the ARCH tool chain are set in the\r
+file names by Tools/Conf/VENDOR_tools.txt, where VENDOR is set in\r
+Tools/Conf/msft_tools.txt.\r
+\r
+For example, if IPF_VENDOR = WINDDK, then the flags for the IPF DDK compiler\r
+will be specified in Tools/Conf/winddk_tools.txt.\r
+\r
-------------------------\r
Individual Package Builds\r
-------------------------\r
The EdkNt32Pkg has a special target; "run" that will execute the Nt32 emulation\r
platform under Microsoft Windows.\r
\r
+To exit the Nt32 emulation platform, you may type reset at the EFI Shell>\r
+command prompt. Alternately, you may use the Graphical interface, Boot\r
+Maintenance Manager screen's Reset System command.\r

A Word on GCC tool chain\r
------------------------\r
-You will find a script in the tree that will download, configure, compile, and\r
-install a gcc 4.0.2 tool chain for development. It has support for the ia32\r
-architecture. It can be built and run on Cygwin, Linux, and many other POSIX\r
-compliant host environments. There are a few tools that you will need on your\r
-host computer in order to compile the tool chain. Among them are bash, gcc,\r
-gmake, curl (or wget).\r
+EDK2 will not compile with a standard Linux gcc tool chain. While Linux\r
+distributions are usually based on ELF, EDK2 requires a version of gcc that is\r
+configured to produce PE-COFF images. You will find a script in edk2/Tools/gcc\r
+that will download, configure, compile, and install a gcc 4.X cross-compile\r
+tool chain for EDK2 development. It has support for the ia32 architecture. It\r
+can be built and run on Cygwin, Linux, and many other POSIX compliant host\r
+operating environments. There are a few tools that you will need on your host\r
+computer in order to compile the tool chain. Among them are bash, gcc, gmake,\r
+curl (or wget).\r

Mechanisms:\r
----------\r
-A quick understanding:\r
+A brief overview:\r
\r
A) Surface Area Package Description (SPD) file contains information about the\r
modules that the package contains, including the location of all MSA files, and\r
1) EDK 2.0 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 - The MDE libraries resent significant changes in source\r
+2) The MDE Libraries - The MDE libraries represent significant changes in source\r
(with only limited changes in functionality.) These new libraries conform\r
to the "MDE Library Specification". \r
3) The Fat Binary and the EDK Shell Binary Packages are functionally identical\r
