Re: Crc32 Calculation Miss

["Gao, Liming" <liming.gao@intel.com>]

In pre memory, PEI code run in flash. After memory is ready, PEI code will be loaded into memory. There is no interface to access the whole flash data. But, you can access the firmware image that contains PEI and DXE driver. In PEI phase, you can locate FvInfoPpi (gEfiPeiFirmwareVolumeInfoPpiGuid) to get FV image base address and size; in DXE phase, you can locate FVB protocol (gEfiFirmwareVolumeBlockProtocolGuid) to get FV image base address and size.

EFI_CALCULATE_CRC32()  just calculate the crc for the given address and size.

my question is whether PEI code is loaded into the RAM or not.
if it doesn't which seems reasonable, how can i reach it? some interface for accessing the whole flash data.

Thanks,

  Does EFI_CALCULATE_CRC32() cover the flash data that includes PEI module?

Update -  it seems that only in the Pei modules a code change doesn't change the crc.
Does it make sense?
if so, is there any interface to calculate the flash data itself in the Dxe phase?

Thanks!

Hi Gao,

I used the EFI_CALCULATE_CRC32 function from edkCompatibilityPkg\Foundation.

Thanks,

Do you use CalculateCrc32() in BaseLib to calculate CRC32 value for the different buffer?
