!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Notes for this ChangeLog.txt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This log file is used to record two kinds of important information:
a) "Non-Compatible Changes": all non-compatible changes should be recorded. These info
will help the package user to merge this package; and some non-compatible changes
can also be added into release notes as news features when we release this package.
Normally Non-Compatible Changes contains the following types:
1) Package's external services were changed/updated
2) Package's common .h file is renamed, deleted, or the file path is changed.
3) The definition of package's common data structure is changed
...
b) "Important Compatible Changes": some important compatible changes can aslo be recorded
in this file, and we can add these updating into release notes when we release this
package.
Non-Compatible and Compatible example format:
==========================================================================================
EDK_0010: Non-Compatible: owner
Class_HFile: PPI A of MdePkg has been removed.
Code Change :
1) Removed the .h file: MdePkg\Include\Ppi\A.h
Possible Impacts:
1) All modules that used this PPI A should be updated.
==========================================================================================
EDK_0000: Compatible: owner
Class_BuildTool: with the EDK_0000 build.exe, the build performance is enhanced great.
Code Change :
1) BaseTools\Bin\Win32\build.exe
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! End of Notes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
##########################################################################################
==========================================================================================
EDK_3911: Compatible: jlin16
Class_BuildTool:
1) Added support of Apriori file generation from FDF file.
2) Added support of INF that describes binary files to put binary into FV.
3) Fixed single FV/FD generation error when specifying -i/-r option in GenFds.
Code Change :
1) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/build.exe
2) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/GenFds.exe
Possible Impacts:
1) To generate Apriori file in FV, insert APRIORI statement just before the INF or
FILE statement list of the FV, For example:
APRIORI PEI {
INF MdeModulePkg/Universal/PCD/Pei/Pcd.inf
FILE PEIM = B7A5041A-78BA-49e3-B73B-54C757811FB6 {
SECTION PE32 = MyBinPkg\bin\ia32\PeimAfterPcd.efi
}
INF IntelFrameworkModulePkg/Universal/StatusCode/Pei/PeiStatusCode.inf
}
2) To add binary file described by INF file into FV, only insert the INF statement
into the INF statements list of that FV, like this:
INF RuleOverride=Test MdeModulePkg/Logo/Logo.inf
Specifying how to process the binary file by defining corresponding Rule like this:
[Rule.Common.Base.Test]
FILE FREEFORM = $(NAMED_GUID) {
COMPRESS PI_STD {
GUIDED {
RAW BIN |.bmp
}
}
}
==========================================================================================
EDK_3832: Non-Compatible: jwang36
Class_BuildTool:
1) Added support of MACRO in tools_def.txt
2) Merged PATH and NAME attributes in tools_def.txt
3) Changed DPATH attribute to DLL in tools_def.txt
4) Removed SPATH attribute in tools_def.txt
5) Added support for library instance without library class
6) Fixed the issue in Trim tool which zero file will be generated if the trimmed
file has not line directive
Code Change :
1) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/build.exe
2) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/GenFds.exe
3) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/Trim.exe
4) BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.template
Possible Impacts:
1) All platforms and modules build
==========================================================================================
EDK_3801: Compatible: jwang36
Class_BuildConfiguration: Added makefile as dependency for "Dynamic-Library-File" to
solve the incremental build issue occurred when there's library changes
Code Change :
1) BaseTools/Conf/build_rule.template
==========================================================================================
EDK_3800: Compatible: lgao4
Class_BuildTool: Update EfiRom tool to fix checksum and PCI3.0 data structure
Code Change :
1) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/EfiRom.exe
==========================================================================================
EDK_3795: Compatible: htao
Class_BuildTool: GenVtf tool open/write file with "r+b"/"w+b" attribute, but this cause
the RO attribute of the file changed. Fix this issue by changing
"r+b"/"w+b" to "rb"/"wb".
Code Change :
1) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/GenVtf.exe
==========================================================================================
EDK_3791: Compatible: jlin16
Class_BuildTool:
1) use '#' to indicate flash generation progress.
2) use -v to switch on detail output messages.
Code Change :
1) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/GenFds.exe
==========================================================================================
EDK_3789: Non-Compatible: lgao4
Class_BuildTool: support new Rules format and PCD format defined in FDF file
Code Change :
1) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/build.exe
2) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/GenFds.exe
Possible Impacts:
1) All platform's FDF file, if any, must be changed to new format.
a) PCD format is changed from old PcdName to new PcdTokenSpaceGuid.PcdName, for example PcdWinNtFdBaseAddress in old FDF file will be replaced by gEfiNt32PkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdWinNtFdBaseAddres.
b) Rule format adds binary file type and file postfix name support, and doesn't require the full file path. For example:
Old Peim Rule:
[Rule.Common.PEIM]
FILE PEIM = $(NAMED_GUID) {
PEI_DEPEX Optional $(INF_OUTPUT)/$(MODULE_NAME).Depex
PE32 $(INF_OUTPUT)/$(MODULE_NAME).efi
UI Optional $(MODULE_NAME)
VERSION Optional BUILD_NUM=$(BUILD_NUMBER) $(INF_VERSION)
}
New Peim Rule:
[Rule.Common.PEIM]
FILE PEIM = $(NAMED_GUID) {
PEI_DEPEX PEI_DEPEX Optional |.Depex
PE32 PE32 |.efi
UI STRING="$(MODULE_NAME)" Optional
VERSION STRING="$(INF_VERSION)" Optional BUILD_NUM=$(BUILD_NUMBER)
}
==========================================================================================
EDK_3786: Compatible: vjeff
Class_BuildConfiguration:
1) Redirect ICC_IA32_*_PATH from C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\Vc7\bin
to C:\Program Files\Intel\Compiler\C++\9.1\IA32\Bin.
2) Add ICC X64 definition to enable ICC X64 build.
Code Change :
1) BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.template
==========================================================================================
EDK_3785: Non-Compatible: klu2
Class_BuildTool: Upgrade the format of EFI_PEIM_ENTRY_POINT to
EFI_PEIM_ENTRY_POINT2 according to PI specification.
Code Change :
1) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/build.exe
Possible Impacts:
1) All modules build
==========================================================================================
EDK_3780: Non-Compatible: qhuang8
Class_MigrationTool: Update the syntax of PCD section.
Update the syntax of binary INF file
The generated Extended INF file should follow Extended INF spec 0.44
Code Change :
1) BaseTools/Bin/Win32/MigrationMsa2Inf.exe
Possible Impacts:
1) New module migrated from old R9
==========================================================================================
EDK_3766: Non-Compatible: lgao4
Class_BuildConfiguration: Update Acpi Asl file Build rule to remove trim step.
Code Change :
1) Conf/build_rule.template
Possible Impacts:
1) Platform with ACPI module. Acpi module needs to set /EP preprocessor compiler option for APP_FLAGS in module inf to override the default /E option from tools_def.txt file.
