[edk2-devel] Generating FSP Bin File from .bsf File

[edk2-devel] Generating FSP Bin File from .bsf File

[Kuldeep Rana via groups.io]

Hello!

We are currently working on a project where we need to create an FSP
(Firmware Support Package) using EDK2. We have the corresponding .bsf
file, and we would like to know how to generate the FSP bin file from
it. Once the FSP bin is created, we intend to integrate it into our
project.

Could you kindly provide guidance or references on how to generate the
FSP bin file from the .bsf file? If you need any additional
information from our side, please don't hesitate to ask.

Thank you in advance for your help!



Best Regards,
Kuldeep Singh Rana

Hello Kuldeep,
FSP binaries are proprietary resources provided by Intel you can access them by signing a CNDA with Intel or by using the publicized FSP binaries in the Intel FSP's GitHub repo at gitHub.com/Intel/fsp. Have in mind not all Intel platforms have their FSPs publicized. Also the bsf files do not generate FSP binaries they are just a means for patching the FSP configuration regions inside those binaries.
The IntelFsp2Pkg in the edk2 repo is just a sample package for the APIs used in the FSP binaries which has to be ported for each platform differently which also needs proprietary resources, about the silicon, provided by Intel. For further information please refer to the "Intel® Firmware Support Package External Architecture Specification" and "A Tour Beyond BIOS Using the Intel® Firmware Support Package"

[Ashraf Ali S via groups.io]

Hi

I think you need to generate the FSP binary with your BSF.
BSF file contains the configuration data of the FSP.

FSP : https://github.com/intel/FSP/tree/master
Tool : https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/tree/master/IntelFsp2Pkg/Tools

Thanks.,
S, Ashraf Ali

Re: [edk2-devel] Generating FSP Bin File from .bsf File

[Kuldeep Rana via groups.io]

Hello S, Ashraf Ali,
Thank you so much for providing the documents. I have checked and
studied the IntelFsp2Pkg. We are working on the BirchStream. We have
only the BirchStream.bsf file. How we can generate the birchstream.fd
binary file using  EDK2(open source). Should we require another file
to generate the binary file? I checked some FspBinPkg. They contain
some folders, For example WhitelyFspBinPkg contain Docs, Include,
Library, UefiDrivers, fsp.bsf, Fsp.fd, and some .dsc.

Could you please suggest and provide the reference to generate the fsp
bin package?

Thank you so much.

Best Regards,
Kuldeep Singh Rana

HI

You can’t generate the FSP binary unless you have the FSP source code.

Thanks.,

Re: [edk2-devel] Generating FSP Bin File from .bsf File

[Kuldeep Rana via groups.io]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 4687 bytes --]

hi,
Thank you for your response. We are working on a birch stream
processor. We have source code. I am attaching a folder comparison
picture for your reference. I am studying the whitelyFspBinPkg . I
have some questions:
1. How can we generate the fsp.fd by edk2 if I have the source code?
In the attached file, we have created the fsp.fd by AMI.
2. If there are any standard rules or tutorial for generating fsp.fd
in EDk2 then please provide. I have studied the above paper and link
for creating an fsp bin.


If you require more information please let me know.

Thank you so much,
Wish you a very very happy new year!

Kuldeep Singh Rana

Re: [edk2-devel] Generating FSP Bin File from .bsf File

[Ashraf Ali S via groups.io]

HI

The Snapshot provided doesn’t contain the source code.

FMMT -v Fsp.fd

You will see many drivers. Those driver you cant build without having the source.

I'm trying to understand, do you need to modify the UPDs from BSF file?

Thanks.,
S, Ashraf Ali
