[edk2] EDKII ARM OrigenBoard question.

hi, Rony: I followed these steps described in this web page to compile an EDKII Origen Pkg: https://wiki.linaro.org/Boards/Origen/Setup/UEFI But it booted failed in DXE Phase, the log message is: Boot firmware (version built at 19:37:38 on Apr 11 2013) Trust Zone Configuration is disabled .Time

Thanks Andrew, I'll give CpuBreakpoint() a try. Is there a good place you know of where to place a startup breakpoint so that all the system data structures are in place (and Andrei's script will run properly)? Andrei - ouch that syntax :) Is there anyway we can get to DxeCore.gST ? Perhaps G

My next suggestion is to use the -y and -Y flags to the build.exe command to generate a report and review the PCD value used to see if the they are being set to the expected value of 0xB000 and not 0x400. The next step after that is to review the AutoGen.h files in the build output directory fo

Tim: For VFR file with FixedPcd, it is not supported, because VfrCompiler only recognizes the limited C syntax used in VFR file. It doesn't support many C syntax used in C source code, such as VOID* and function definitions. But, to know FixedPcd value in VFR file, VFR file needs to include Au

Hello Ritvik, Take a look at the StdLib package in EDK II. There is a ReadMe.txt file in StdLib which should help you get started using it. Functions like fsync(), which are more OS and filesystem dependent, currently have a very low priority for implementation. This could change based upon

Tim: ASL just needs to get PCD or MACRO value. But, VFR file also needs to include structure definition. For ASL, Trim can remove all preprocessed code from .h files. For VFR file, Trim needs to keep structure definitions, and can't easily remove all. It needs Trim to parse VFR file and get th

Re: [edk2] Status of PCD usage in VFR and ASL?

Tim: VFR source file includes its required header file that defines its used structure. For example, MdeModulePkg\Universal\DriverSampleDxe\Vfr.vfr #include "NVDataStruc.h". Now, no build tool supports VFR to keep its used structure. If VFR file includes more header files, like AutoGen.h,
