18.7.3 Using FDF File to Generate PCI Option ROM Image
When managing large numbers of UEFI Drivers and PCI Option ROMs, greater flexibility than the
EfiRom utility or the INF methods allow may be required. The EDK II build system supports an FDF file format that provides methods to package UEFI Drivers into FLASH devices. The FDF file format also supports the description of PCI Option ROMs. The EDK II build system requires a DSC file to build UEFI Drivers. The DSC file format is covered in more detail in Chapter 30. A DSC file can optionally specify an associated FDF file in the [Defines] section of the DSC file with a FLASH_DEFINITION statement. The example below shows the [Defines] section of a DSC file specifying the FDF file AbcDriver.fdf. The FDF file is typically in the same directory as the DSC file.[Defines]
PLATFORM_NAME = AbcDriver
PLATFORM_GUID = 14893C02-5693-47ab-AEF5-61DFA089508A
PLATFORM_VERSION = 0.10
DSC_SPECIFICATION = 0x00010005
OUTPUT_DIRECTORY = Build/AbcDriver
SUPPORTED_ARCHITECTURES = IA32|IPF|X64|EBC|ARM
BUILD_TARGETS = DEBUG|RELEASE
SKUID_IDENTIFIER = DEFAULT
FLASH_DEFINITION = AbcDriver/AbcDriver.fdf
The FDF file may describe one or more PCI Option ROM images These PCI Unlike the INF method, Option ROM images are not limited to a single UEFI Driver. The following example shows an FDF file that produces three PCI Option ROM images called
AbcDriverAll.rom, AbcDriverIA32.rom, and AbcDriverX64.rom. The first PCI Option ROM image contains a UEFI Driver image compiled for IA32 and a UEFI Driver image compiled for X64 The syntax for specifying the PCI related definitions is the same as the INF example in the previous section. The second PCI Option ROM image contains only one UEFI Driver compiled for IA32 The third image contains one UEFI Driver compiled for X64 The UEFI Drivers are compressed in all three of these option ROM images.[Rule.Common.UEFI_DRIVER]
