Possible, but the syntax is not that simple, you need 'L' prefix (so
CHAR16 not CHAR8 is used) and '\0' postfix (so the string is properly
terminated), i.e. --pcd=PcdFirmwareVersionString="L${version}\\0".
Providing a shorter and less error prone way to specify the version
looks sensible to me.
take care,
Gerd
