Depending on what you are doing with the resultant string ConvertDevicePathToText from DevicePathLib (header file located in MdePkg) is a much more common method to convert a device path to a text. This also supports some options on some conversion results.

I'm not certain this is the right way to do it, but what I did was to edit my .inf file and add the following line under the [Packages] section: IntelFrameworkModulePkg/IntelFrameworkModulePkg.dec Then I was able to include <Library/GenericBdsLib.h> in my code and use DevicePathToStr() without any issue. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (510) 749-2329 | Senior Member of Technical Staff, wp...@windriver.com | Master of Unix-Fu - Wind River Systems ============================================================================= "I put a dollar in a change machine.
