Michael Kinney fd0597aa9c BaseTools/Scripts: Add BinToPcd utility
https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=228

Add a utility that converts a binary file into a VOID* PCD value
or a full DSC file VOID* PCD statement with support for all the
DSC supported PCD sections.

usage: BinToPcd [-h] [--version] -i INPUTFILE [-o OUTPUTFILE] [-p PCDNAME]
                [-t {VPD,HII}] [-m MAXSIZE] [-f OFFSET] [-n VARIABLENAME]
                [-g VARIABLEGUID] [-v] [-q] [--debug [0-9]]

Convert a binary file to a VOID* PCD value or DSC file VOID* PCD statement.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help        show this help message and exit
  --version         show program's version number and exit
  -i INPUTFILE, --input INPUTFILE
                    Input binary filename
  -o OUTPUTFILE, --output OUTPUTFILE
                    Output filename for PCD value or PCD statement
  -p PCDNAME, --pcd PCDNAME
                    Name of the PCD in the form
                    <PcdTokenSpaceGuidCName>.<PcdCName>
  -t {VPD,HII}, --type {VPD,HII}
                    PCD statement type (HII or VPD). Default is standard.
  -m MAXSIZE, --max-size MAXSIZE
                    Maximum size of the PCD. Ignored with --type HII.
  -f OFFSET, --offset OFFSET
                    VPD offset if --type is VPD. UEFI Variable offset if
                    --type is HII.
  -n VARIABLENAME, --variable-name VARIABLENAME
                    UEFI variable name. Only used with --type HII.
  -g VARIABLEGUID, --variable-guid VARIABLEGUID
                    UEFI variable GUID C name. Only used with --type HII.
  -v, --verbose     Increase output messages
  -q, --quiet       Reduce output messages
  --debug [0-9]     Set debug level

This utility can be used in PCD value mode to convert a binary
file into a string that can then be copied into the PCD value field
of a VOID* PCD.  The following is an example of PCD value mode on
an 8 byte test.bin file.

  BinToPcd.py -i test.bin

  {0x48, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x6c, 0x6f, 0x20, 0x0d, 0x0a}

The DSC file VOID* PCD statement mode can be used to generate a
complete PCD statement for the PCD section types that a DSC file
supports:

  [PcdsFixedAtBuild]
  [PcdsPatchableInModule]
  [PcdsDynamicDefault]
  [PcdsDynamicExDefault]
  [PcdsDynamicVpd]
  [PcdsDynamicExVpd]
  [PcdsDynamicHii]
  [PcdsDynamicExHii]

The PCD statement mode is useful when combined with a !include
statement in a DSC file.  BinToPcd.py can be used to convert a
binary file to a PCD statement in an output file, and that output
file can be included into a DSC file in the matching PCD section
to set the value of the PCD to the value from the binary file
without having to copy the value into the DSC file.  Updates can be
made to the included file without editing the DSC file.  Some
example use cases are the setting the public key PCDs such as:

  gEfiSecurityPkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdRsa2048Sha256PublicKeyBuffer
  gEfiSecurityPkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdPkcs7CertBuffer

The following example converts a public key binary file to a
[PcdsFixedAtBuild] compatible PCD statement:

  BinToPcd.py -i PublicKey.bin -o PublicKey.pcd
    --pcd gEfiSecurityPkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdPkcs7CertBufferkenSpaceGuid

The PublicKey.pcd output file contains a single line:

  gEfiSecurityPkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdPkcs7CertBuffer|{0x48, ...}

A DSC file can be updated to include the PublicKey.pcd file:

  [PcdsFixedAtBuild]
  !include PublicKey.pcd

    Guid.Name|20|8|{0x48, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x6c, 0x6f, 0x20, 0x0d, 0x0a}

  BinToPcd.py -i test.bin -p Guid.Token -t VPD -m 10
    Guid.Name|*|10|{0x48, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x6c, 0x6f, 0x20, 0x0d, 0x0a}

  BinToPcd.py -i test.bin -p Guid.Token -t VPD -f 20 -m 10
    Guid.Name|20|10|{0x48, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x6c, 0x6f, 0x20, 0x0d, 0x0a}

HII examples:
=============
  BinToPcd.py -i test.bin -p Guid.Token -t HII -g VarGuid -n VarName
    Guid.Name|L"VarName"|VarGuid|0|{0x48, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x6c}

  BinToPcd.py -i test.bin -p Guid.Token -t HII -g VarGuid -n VarName -f 8
    Guid.Name|L"VarName"|VarGuid|8|{0x48, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x6c}

This file contains invisible Unicode characters that are indistinguishable to humans but may be processed differently by a computer. If you think that this is intentional, you can safely ignore this warning. Use the Escape button to reveal them.

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.
