I'm using the OpenPlatformPkg tree from
https://git.linaro.org/uefi/OpenPlatformPkg.git . 

The binary I was interested in is PreUefiFirmware.bin in
https://git.linaro.org/uefi/OpenPlatformPkg.git/tree/Platforms/AMD/Styx/Overdrive1000Board/Binary .

I should probably explain what problem I'm trying to solve. I'm working
on NVDIMM support, and have been starting to plan work around
making changes to the EDK2 to support the modules, starting with
reading the DDR4 SPD data.

However, the i2c access protocols etc. that I'd need appear to be
implemented in the PreUefiFirmware.bin binary and are currently not
exposed to UEFI drivers via the protocols from the PI spec.
