Hi List, I am new to UEFI and exploring about SCT. I have very basic question regarding SCT. 1) In order to use SCT in an organization, do we require any special license? 2) Looks like SCT compliance testing is only internal to an organization. We don't require to publish its details outside of the organization? 3) If anyone want to contribute to SCT test cases. Which forum/list he/she can be used? Please guide me. Regards, Prabhakar

Hi Oliver, at very early stage UEFI firmware is present in DRAM. with DDR mapped from 0x90000000 size 512MB. while running source Z:\....\cmd_load_symbols.py -f (0x90001000,0x20000000) -a -v, I am getting following error Add symbols of /home/<...>/edk2/MyBuild/Board/DEBUG_ARMGCC/ARM/ArmPlatformPkg/PrePi/PeiUniCore/DEBUG/ArmPlatformPrePiUniCore.dll at 0x90001180 Warning: not possible to load symbols from /home/..../edk2/Build/MyBoard/DEBUG_ARMGCC/ARM/ArmPlatformPkg/PrePi/PeiUniCore/DEBUG/ArmPlatformPrePiUniCore.dll at 0x90001180 Note: no symbols have been found in System Memory (possible cause: the UEFI permanent memory has been installed yet) Also FDF file has following entries [FD.MyBoard_EFI] BaseAddress = 0x90001000|gArmTokenSpaceGuid.PcdFdBaseAddress #The base address of the DDR Device.

RE: [edk2] Debugging Sec and PI phases {Source symbols}

by Olivier Martin

To parse your FV file (embedded in your FD file), you can use './BaseTools/BinWrappers/PosixLike/VolInfo <location of your FV file>' If you want to debug the early stage of your UEFI boot process, you can only use (you do not need -m (...,...)): source edk2/ArmPlatformPkg/Scripts/Ds5/cmd_load_symbols.py -f (..,...) -a -v At the early stage of the boot, the UEFI firmware has not loaded its binaries into DRAM yet. The UEFI System Table will not be found in System Memory. Where your UEFI firmware lives when started? In DRAM or in Flash/ROM memory? > -----Original Message----- > From: Sharma Bhupesh-B45370 [mailto:B45370@freescale.com] > Sent: 23 October 2013 06:33 > To: Olivier Martin; edk2-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net; 'Andrew Fish' > Cc: 'Kim Phillips'; boot-architecture(a)lists.linaro.org; Kushwaha > Prabhakar-B32579 > Subject: RE: [edk2] Debugging Sec and PI phases {Source symbols} > > Hi Olivier, > > I tried to use the DS-5 scripts, but landed in some issues, like: > "System table not found in System Memory". > > It seems there is some issue with the .FD gets generated for my > BoardPkg. > > I am also now trying to understand if there is some documentation/tool > available that > can parse my .FD and .FV files and can tell me about the sections in > this particular output > file.

You could have multiple ROMs, but the most common thing is to just have a single FD. FV is a Firmware Volume. Basically a simple Flash Filesystem that allows files, named by GUIDs to be discovered. EFI is a collection of relocatable PE/COFF images, and in general an INF file (no for a library) in your project maps to a PE/COFF file getting generated. It can vary by compiler, but it is common for the *.dll file to be the native image with the debug info. So that is the file you want to load symbols for. There are various schemes on how to do this. Some platforms print out debug messages that map into the commands you need to load symbols. Some platforms have scripts that can load symbols. Sorry I don't remember the latest recommendation on which scheme to use for your platform? Try looking at the *.Fv.map file as I think it has info about how to load symbols. You would need a script to convert this into some format the DS-5 understands. Maybe the scripts in https://svn.code.sf.net/p/edk2/code/trunk/edk2/ArmPlatformPkg/Scripts/Ds5/ are what you are looking for?

Aarch64 patches for uefi-next.git

by Ryan Harkin

Hi Steven, Please find attached two patches used for aarch64 work. Each patch goes into a different topic branch in the end, not in the linaro-topic-fvp branch as we discussed earlier. Still, they are quite simple, so shouldn't cause much of a problem. 0001-tools_def-AARCH64-use-CROSS_COMPILE-variable.patch The above patch goes into linaro-topic-misc. 0002-FVP-Add-support-for-EDK2_USE_ANDROID_CONFIG-build-pa.patch The above patch goes into linaro-topic-fvp. Please let me know if these cause you any problems, but it would be good to get them into uefi.git for the -rc4 and the -03 release respin. You can also pull both patches/branches from my tree: https://git.linaro.org/gitweb?p=people/ryanharkin/uefi-next.git;a=summary Thanks, Ryan.
