https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=890 There are use cases where a VOID * PCD needs to be generated from multiple binary input files. This can be in the form of an array of fixed size elements or a set of variable sized elements. Update BinToPcd to support multiple one or more -i INPUTFILE arguments. By default, the contents of each binary input file are concatenated in the order provided. This supports generating a PCD that is an array of fixed size elements Add -x, --xdr flags to BinToPcd to encodes the PCD using the Variable-Length Opaque Data of RFC 4506 External Data Representation Standard (XDR). https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4506 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4506#section-4.10 The data format from RFC 4506 meets the requirements for a PCD that is a set of variable sized elements in the Variable-Length Opaque Data format. The overhead of this format is a 32-bit length and 0 to 3 bytes of padding to align the next element at a 32-bit boundary.

This directory contains the next generation of EDK II build tools and template files. Templates are located in the Conf directory, while the tools executables for Microsoft Windows 32-bit Operating Systems are located in the Bin\Win32 directory, other directory contatins tools source. 1. Build step to generate the binary tools. === Windows/Visual Studio Notes === To build the BaseTools, you should run the standard vsvars32.bat script from your preferred Visual Studio installation or you can run get_vsvars.bat to use latest automatically detected version. In addition to this, you should set the following environment variables: * EDK_TOOLS_PATH - Path to the BaseTools sub directory under the edk2 tree * BASE_TOOLS_PATH - The directory where the BaseTools source is located. (It is the same directory where this README.txt is located.) * PYTHON_FREEZER_PATH - Path to where the python freezer tool is installed After this, you can run the toolsetup.bat file, which is in the same directory as this file. It should setup the remainder of the environment, and build the tools if necessary. Please also refer to the 'BuildNotes.txt' file for more information on building under Windows. === Unix-like operating systems === To build on Unix-like operating systems, you only need to type 'make' in the base directory of the project. === Ubuntu Notes === On Ubuntu, the following command should install all the necessary build packages to build all the C BaseTools: sudo apt-get install build-essential uuid-dev === Python sqlite3 module === On Windows, the cx_freeze will not copy the sqlite3.dll to the frozen binary directory (the same directory as build.exe and GenFds.exe). Please copy it manually from <PythonHome>\DLLs. The Python distributed with most recent Linux will have sqlite3 module built in. If not, please install sqlit3 package separately. 26-OCT-2011
