A Word on GCC tool chain\r
------------------------\r

-The EDK 2.0 represents significant changes in the structure of the EDK.\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 previous (EDK 1.0) version.\r
\r
Of particular note:\r
\r
-1) EDK 2.0 contains new hardware feature support for the ICH SMBUS Libraries.\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 - The MDE libraries represent significant changes in source\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 EDK 1.0 version.\r
-6) The Application "HelloWorld" has been ported to EDK 2.0 as well.\r
