Folks,

I'm trying to convert/port one of our DXE drivers to PEI (for Recovery support) 
but I'm having trouble finding useful information on generating a PEIM module 
that can be integrated into a BIOS.

Does anyone have any good pointers/info that might help point the way? Thanks.


Background:

-          DXE module being built under Edk_1.xx

-          Final output is .DXE or .DXE.ORG file (as well as the .efi)


-          BIOS is MMTOOL compatible


-          Building PEI module w/Edk2

-          Output from 'build' process is <name>.debug, <name>.dll or 
<name>.efi; none are in proper format for use by MMTOOL

Current (test) PEI module is a simple DEBUG() statement and return 
EFI_UNSUPPORTED for PeimEntry(). [Using MdeModulePkg/Bus/Pci/IdeBusPei/* as 
template files.] MMTOOL seems to like output by GenFfs... GenFfs want's 
something with a PE or TE section such as GenSec outputs. Putting the resulting 
output into the BIOS bricks the system... Don't have a debugger that will tell 
me what's happening (hence trying to start with something that will output a 
debug message and exit...)

Thanks again...
