REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3165 There are 2 reasons to convert Split tool from C to Python. 1. We are in the process of moving the Basetools Python code to a separate repository. But there still are many C tools under edk2/BaseTools. To make all Basetools be in the separate repo, we can convert the C tools to Python tools. 2. The original Split tool is very slow. This python tool can reduce 90% time.

This directory contains the EDK II build tools and template files. Templates are located in the Conf directory, while the tools executables for Microsoft Windows Operating Systems are located in the Bin\\Win32 directory, other directory contains tools source. 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.rst is located.) 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 install build-essential uuid-dev
