Re: FFS Alignment and the FDF Specification

["Zhu, Yonghong" <yonghong.zhu@intel.com>]

How about get the doc from https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/EDK-II-Draft-Specification ? This is current latest.

Or  https://edk2-docs.gitbooks.io/edk-ii-fdf-specification/content/v/release/1.28.01/ , this is the one match with UDK2018.

And current latest BaseTools it should also support the 16M FFS alignment.
I think the version you use in fact it is 1.27, but we made a typo error in the FDF spec that marked it as 1.28.  you can check the revision history or the value in the FDF_SPECIFICATION  in the spec.

1.28. 

2.5.6 says: Alignment - Data (value is one of: 1, 2 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 128, 512, 1K, 2K, 4K, 8K, 16K,32K, 64K) byte aligned

The grammar 3.2.1 says:

<FfsAlignmentValues> ::= {"Auto"} {"8"} {"16"} {"32"} {"64"} {"128"}{"512"} {"1K"} {"4K"} {"32K"} {"64K"}

This is the version from the EDK2 specs page.

Which version of FDF spec you use now ? I remember current we already support 16M ffs alignment.  FDF spec Version 1.28 have such info "Per PI 1.6 to extend FFS alignment to 16M".

Is my understanding correct: the FDF specification only supports a maximum of 64KB alignment for files (section 2.5.6), but the PI specification supports (table 7), up to 16MB alignment. Or am I misreading it?

Thanks,

Tim

Udit,

As Marvin points out the [LibraryClasses] section of the INF file are going to imply the order of the library constructor calls in the AutoGen

Worst case you can demote FpgaInterfaceInit () from being a constructor to just being a public library function that the other lib can call explicitly from its constructor. Maybe that is too drastic and you could must move a function out of FpgaInterfaceInit () and make that function part of the Public library interface?

Thanks,

Andrew Fish

need to execute FpgaInterfaceInit() earlier in platform code or fork SerialPortLib for now.
