Hello

In the EDK II build spec, Chapter 10 on Post-Build ImageGen Stage - Flash
Images, it mentions PCD's (Some of the PCD's defined...) and FD (..
combined into FD image files..).

What are these files?

The glossary has PCD defined as a Platform Configuration Database, but I
thought there would only be one Platform Configuration Database.  Why the
plural s?


The work flow diagram in Figure 22 shows a .FD file as a Full Firmware
Image. I notice there are NT32.fd and FVRECOVERY.Fv files of similar size
in the NT32IA32/DEBUG_VSxx/FV directory. What is the difference in these
two files?  Only thing I can tell based upon a hex editor is that the
strings which are in common are at different addresses and that the .fd
file is used by the emulator as a firmware volume. From the description
file:   gEfiNt32PkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdWinNtFirmwareVolume|L"..\\Fv\\Nt32.fd"


Lastly, is there anyway to load firmware in the emulator at runtime and
dump it?  From the shell book, I can see you can load drivers but I haven't
found anything on .fv files yet.
