Subject: Re: difference between asm16 and asm files

Message-ID: <4A89E2EF3DFEDB4C8BFDE51014F606A14E1B8F6F@SHSMSX104.ccr.corp.intel.com> (raw)

Asm16 is compiled to the binary file. Asm is compiled to the obj file, and linked into lib and EFI image. 

Now, asm16 is replaced by nasmb. Asm is replaced by nasm. If you check SecCore.inf, you will find ResetVec.asm16 is not used, and ResetVec.nasmb is used. I will send the patch to remove the unused ResetVec.asm16 to avoid the confuse.
