Hi All,

I am trying to decode the UEFI image file and to extract compressed modules. I 
use the following function to extract compressed modules:

EFI_STATUS
Extract (
  IN      VOID    *Source,
  IN      UINT32  SrcSize,
     OUT  UCHAR    **Destination,
     OUT  UINT32  *DstSize,
  IN      UINTN   Algorithm
  )

Where Algorithm 1  EFI Decompress
           Algorithm 2  Tiano Decompress

On analysing, the difference between the two algorithm is that mPBit is set to 
4 for EFI decompress algorithm and 5 for Tiano  decompress algorithm. Few ROM 
files uses Algorithm 1 and few uses Algorithm 2.

Is there any way by which I can arrive the Algorithm from the compressed data?

>From UEFI Spec 2.4, Section 18.2 gives details of compressed data format. Can 
>you please guide me on how to proceed from this.

Thanks,
Murali.S
