Subject: FDF Spec question?
Date: Tue, 20 Dec 2016 16:26:36 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B9E734E-C111-4CDB-AA8E-B3FA8B06D22B@apple.com> (raw)

Is it possible in the FDF syntax to make the payload of a EFI_SECTION_GUID_DEFINED (Encapsulating section) a raw binary file?

I can make the contents of the GUID'ed encapsulation section a section. But when I'm processing the GUID'ed section I just end up skipping over the extra 4 byte section header so it is unused space. 

  SECTION GUIDED 4C2B8C75-C6F6-11E6-B483-B8E8562CBAFA  PROCESSING_REQUIRED = TRUE {
    SECTION RAW = $(WORKSPACE)/MyPackage/MyNewType/Binary/newform.bin
  }

There is a syntax to make a leaf section a binary file. 

  SECTION SUBTYPE_GUID AFC13561-9A65-4754-9C93-E133B3B8767C = $(WORKSPACE)/MyPackage/MyNewType/Binary/newform.bin


Thanks,

Andrew Fish
