. (Are you sure the notebook is SAS and not SATA?) If your server has a SAS controller, then try EFI_EXT_SCSI_PASS_THRU_PROTOCOL. Same general idea as for ATA except that you're looking for Targets, not ports. -Joe Thomas // Joseph Thomas // Principal Software Engineer // Dot Hill Systems

Re: [edk2] Both legacy OpROM and UEFI BSD loaded

2012-10-30 Thread Joe Thomas
Our experience is that every platform BIOS will do it differently... Expect that both legacy and UEFI will run, that you have no control over which runs first, and that calls may alternate between one and the other... In other words, plan for the worst and you'll avoid a lot of debugging

[edk2] SouceLevelDebug w/WinDbg and DuetPkgX64

2014-05-02 Thread Joe Thomas
Seems like this is an ongoing question without any definitive answer... I have a hardware driver I'm trying to debug using DuetPkgX64 (need to access real HW and platforms we have access to don't support SourceLevelDebug...) After some missteps, I can at least connect to the debug agent running

Re: [edk2] making UEFI driver part of optrom

2014-08-06 Thread Joe Thomas
Sushma, When you say “We placed this UEFI driver ROM image, below the legacy optrom and flashed the same on the PCIe card.”, how exactly did you do this? Did you change the headers in the legacy image to indicated that it no longer is the last image? It’s been several years since I’ve done

[edk2] PEI driver help

2014-12-01 Thread Joe Thomas
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:

[edk2] PEI memory map and PCI mapping

2015-04-03 Thread Joe Thomas
-physical regions. (DXE has the MemMapIO type but I don't find any equivalent in PEI.) I hate to wildly start picking unused address and just start using them. Seems REALLY likely to break. Any pointers to information would be appreciated. Thanks. -Joe Thomas // Joseph Thomas // Principal
