UEFI memory type and get_dram_base()

by Roy Franz

Leif and Mark, >From my reading of Table 25 in the UEFI 2.4 spec, I think that the following types should be considered when looking for the base of dram: * EfiLoaderCode: The code portions of a loaded application. (Note that UEFI OS loadersare UEFI applications.) * EfiLoaderData: The data portions of a loaded application and the default data allocation type used by an application to allocate pool memory. * EfiBootServicesCode: The code portions of a loaded Boot Services Driver. * EfiBootServicesData: The data portions of a loaded Boot Serves Driver, and the default data allocation type used by a Boot Services Driver to allocate pool memory. * EfiRuntimeServicesCode: The code portions of a loaded Runtime Services Driver. * EfiRuntimeServicesData: The data portions of a loaded Runtime Services Driver and the default data allocation type used by a Runtime Services Driver to allocate pool memory. * EfiConventionalMemory: Free (unallocated) memory. * EfiACPIReclaimMemory: Memory that holds the ACPI tables. * EfiACPIMemoryNVS: Address space reserved for use by the firmware. and the following should be ignored: * EfiReservedMemoryType: Not used. * EfiUnusableMemory: Memory in which errors have been detected. * EfiMemoryMappedIO: Used by system firmware to request that a memory-mapped IO region be mapped by the OS to a virtual address so it can be accessed by EFI runtime services. * EfiMemoryMappedIOPortSpace: System memory-mapped IO region that is used to translate memory cycles to IO cycles by the processor. * EfiPalCode: Address space reserved by the firmware for code that is part of the processor. Does this seem reasonable? Roy

Fwd: [edk2] edk2/edksetup.sh patch to solve command line parameter

by Leif Lindholm

FYI: this patch, which was committed yesterday, breaks some build instructions (and possibly the uefi-build.sh command). Effectively, they are deprecating the passing of a specific BaseTools directory to edksetup.sh. So it could/should henceforth simply be called as ". edksetup.sh", whereas we've tended to use ". edksetup.sh `pwd`/BaseTools". ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gao, Liming <liming.gao(a)intel.com> Date: 27 January 2014 07:46 Subject: Re: [edk2] edk2/edksetup.sh patch to solve command line parameter To: "Parmeshwr_Prasad(a)Dell.com" <Parmeshwr_Prasad(a)dell.com> Cc: "edk2-commits(a)lists.sourceforge.net" <edk2-commits(a)lists.sourceforge.net>, "edk2-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net" <edk2-devel(a)lists.sourceforge.net> Parmeshwr: Your patch is good.

If user follows it, it should work. So, I expect the behavior is: 1. No parameter, edksetup.sh will set up environment. 2. BaseTools parameter, edksetup.sh will set up environment. 3. Other parameter, edksetup.sh will print help message.

BaseTools parameter is required to be supported for compatibility, because this usage is mentioned in EDKII_UserManual.pdf document. Some users have used it. In fact, ". edksetup.sh BaseTools" is same to ". edksetup.sh". 2. In below script, BaseTools/BuildEnv $* can be cleanup to remove $*, because no parameter is required. if [ -z "$WORKSPACE" ] then .

Fix vexpress A5 and TC1 BSPs for 14.01 rc1

by Ryan Harkin

Since 14.01 rc1, the Versatile Express A5 and TC1 BSPs no longer build. This is due to PcdSystemMemoryBase changing from a 32 to 64 bit PCD. [PATCH 1/2] TC1: change PcdGet32 to PcdGet64 [PATCH 2/2] VEA5: change PcdGet32 to PcdGet64

[PATCH V2] Add QEMU support to ARM VExpress builds

by Roy Franz

This patchset is a combination of my two previous patchsets adding QEMU support. Both the networking driver change and the flash address for variable storage are now controlled by the EDK2_ARMVE_SUPPORT_QEMU build macro. If the macro is not set the normal RTSM configuration is built. With this patchset persistent storage and networking work on the A15 VExpress QEMU platform. Changes since v1: * Combined both changes into one patch * changed flash address selection to be controlled by build macro * changed build macro name to be more generic Roy Franz (1): Add build option to support VExpress A15 QEMU emulation .../ArmVExpressPkg/ArmVExpress-RTSM-A15.dsc | 22 +++++++++++++++++--- .../ArmVExpressPkg/ArmVExpress-RTSM-A15.fdf | 8 ++++++- .../ArmVExpressPkg/ArmVExpress-RTSM-A15_MPCore.dsc | 10 +++++++++ 3 files changed, 36 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) -- 1.7.10.4

[PATCH 0/3]

by Ryan Harkin

Hi Steven, In the following emails are the three patches that I'd like applied to the Linaro EDK2 tree for the 14.01 release: [PATCH 1/3] ArmPlatformPkg/ArmVExpressPkg: add virtio to RTSM A15 [PATCH 2/3] ArmPlatformPkg/ArmVExpressPkg: add virtio to RTSM A15 [PATCH 3/3] ArmPlatformPkg/ArmVExpressPkg: add virtio to RTSM A9 BSP They all add virtio mmio support to the A9/A15 BSPs. Olivier, Please also consider these for inclusion in the Tianocore tree. Regards, Ryan.

PE/COFF machine type for ARM V7 binaries

by Roy Franz

I'm trying to nail down what the proper Machine Type value in the PE/COFF header should be for ARM linux images with the stub. The PE/COFF specification lists two values that seem appropriate: IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_ARM 0x1c0 "ARM little endian" IMAGE_FILE_MACHINE_THUMB 0x1c2 "ARM or Thumb ("interworking")" Tianocore currently only supports the 0x1c2 value, but it seems that the 0x1c0 should also be supported. Is there a specific reason only 0x1c2 is supported? Thanks, Roy

FastModels 0.8.3.5311 for ARMv8 now available

by Ryan Harkin

Hello all, I've uploaded the latest FastModels for ARMv8 to fastmodel.linaro.org. You can get it by following the instructions on the wiki: https://collaborate.linaro.org/display/ITS/FlexLM+and+Fast+Models Depending on whether you want an AEMv8 or Cortex model, the files you want are: FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A_0.8_5311.tgz FVP_Base_Cortex-A57-A53x14_0.8_5311.tgz eg, scp fastmodel.linaro.org:/home/resources/FVP_Base_AEMv8A-AEMv8A_0.8_5311.tgz . The downloads directory should be simpler now; I've moved older versions into the new "archive" directory. Cheers, Ryan.
