Hi folks!

I apologize for the stupid questions, but I really can not understand
how it works.
Please help me.

I need to make new boot item, and boot from it. Loading do
using specific getting image, and startimage with specific
preparation. Load using LOAD_FILE PROTOCOL from MyLoad function.

For this goals I read UEFI_2_4 spec and MdeModulePkg PxeBcDriver.

I do to achieve the goal:
* I make DXE driver.
* I load it from ROM.
* DXE Driver:
** Creates (On entry point) new Boot### variable in NvRam. It make
description "BootForMe" and EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL instance  with
MESSAGING_DEVICE_PATH (HW_VENDOR_DP).
** Driver call  EfiLibInstallDriverBindingComponentName2() for registering.

>From EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Start() I add to DeviceHandle new
protocol: EFI_LOAD_FILE_PROTOCOL. For it I use
gBS->InstallMultipleProtocolInterfaces().

EFI_LOAD_FILE_PROTOCOL contains pointer to MyLoad function.

How I understand in EFI firmware must be created EFI_HANDLER * Device,
which will support bootoption DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL. I need detect it
device in EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Supported(), and add to it
EFI_LOAD_FILE_PROTOCOL support for boot manager. Boot Manager get
Device from DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL, and call LoadImage, StartImage
after.

Am I right to do and understand? If yes, how to create EFI_HANDLER * Device?

I just need to do is start image from new boot option. Image get from
MyLoad function. Start image from MyStart. Maybe this can be get
easier?


Thank you.
