Hi Yao, Sorry for the late response - my team and I are at UEFI Plugfest in Redmond this week. Thanks for reviewing our patches, we will start addressing your comments right after the event. Yes, the original big patch was split into several smaller ones per feature and per affected package, an

Re: [edk2] [PATCH] NX/ASLR/GS/RTCs Security Features

Thanks Eugene. Yes, I thought I have reviewed your separated patch. Maybe I miss GS/RTCs one for GCC. I am not worried too much on stack check, because we can have a standalone compiler lib to handle that. No much core impact. While NX and ASLR do impact MdeModulePkg/Core part and need code cha

[edk2] How to close a popup created using CreatePopup()

Hi, I am using the function CreatePopup() defined in MdePkg\Library\UefiLib\Console.c to create popup. Two or more Popup overlaps if CreatePopup() is called in a sequence. I want the screen back to normal i.e the screen should not have any popups after returning from CreatePopup(). Is there any

[edk2] Edk2 FAQ - INF SMM dependency

Hi, If same protocol guid is installed in both DXE(using pbs->InstallProtocol()) and SMM(using Smst->InstallProtocol()), when we try to add the same guid dependency in other SMM driver, the dependency is evaluated with DXE instance not SMM instance. Because of this, the dependent SMM driver is

Re: [edk2] Edk2 FAQ - INF SMM dependency

Hi Cameron, Thanks for the reply. My requirement is to publish a protocol with same guid in both DXE and SMM. Does EDKII support this kind of mechanism ? If not, it's a limitation to EDKII. Thanks, Naresh -Original Message- From: edk2-devel-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net [mailto:edk2-d

Re: [edk2] How to close a popup created using CreatePopup()

Hi, Thanks Liming. I do not want to loose the background. Is there any functions form ConOut-> or any other where I can preserve the screen before popup and display it later to mask the popup? Thanks Jabir > -- > > Message: 4 > Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2012 09:34:07 + >

Re: [edk2] How to close a popup created using CreatePopup()

Hi Jabir, There are two possible ways 1. VideoDxe dependent. You can get access to FrameBuffer to save it into your memory array. Keyword "sprite" in programmer practice. 2. Rewrite the whole program to construct screen when needed. It is usual practice to construct a menu - when you want to rest

Re: [edk2] Edk2 FAQ - INF SMM dependency

I think what you are asking is how to create an EFI_SECTION_SMM_DEPEX in the FV image for your module? The DXE dispatcher uses the EFI_SECTION_DXE_DEPEX for dispatch, while SMM used EFI_SECTION_SMM_DEPEX. The Smst name space is totally independent in regards to the DXE/EFI protocol database.
