Re: [edk2] FFS Alignment and the FDF Specification
How about get the doc from
https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-Draft-Specification
? This is current latest.
Or
https://edk2-docs.gitbooks.io/edk-ii-fdf-specification/content/v/release/1.28.01/
, this is the one match with UDK2018.
And current latest BaseTools it should also support the 16M FFS alignment.
I think the version you use in fact it is 1.27, but we made a typo error in the
FDF spec that marked it as 1.28. you can check the revision history or the
value in the FDF_SPECIFICATION in the spec.

Is my understanding correct: the FDF specification only supports a maximum of
64KB alignment for files (section 2.5.6), but the PI specification supports
(table 7), up to 16MB alignment. Or am I misreading it?

Udit,
As Marvin points out the [LibraryClasses] section of the INF file are going to
imply the order of the library constructor calls in the AutoGen
Worst case you can demote FpgaInterfaceInit () from being a constructor to just
being a public library function that the other lib can call explicitly from its
constructor. Maybe that is too drastic and you could must move a function out
of FpgaInterfaceInit () and make that function part of the Public library
interface?
