You need to check Platform DSC/FDF to see whether UiApp is used. If MdeModulePkg BdsDxe and UiApp are used, you can remove UiApp from DSC/FDF. If IntelFrameworkModulePkg BdsDxe is used, it includes Bds and UiApp both. It is not easy to disable BIOS menu.

Liming,

I believe I found UiApp, but how can I remov it? Can I just remove Vlv2TbltDevicePkg//UiApp/UiApp.inf?

Thanks,

Zach

  UDK2015 is a little old. Edk2 trunk has separated UiApp from BDS. UiApp is for BIOS menu. To remove UiApp can disable BIOS menu.

  On password, edk2 trunk SecurityPkg\Tcg\Opal\OpalPasswordDxe provides the real implementation for Opal supported devices.. You can refer to it for your implementation.

Thanks
