Liming,

Correct. PyFMMT does not depend on GenSec, GenFfs and GenFv.  Yes. the future PyGenSec, PyGenFfs and PyGenFv can reuse code from PyFMMT.

Thanks,

Bob

Christine:

 This is a good news. Thanks for your great work. With this change, FMMT doesn’t depend on GenSec, GenFfs and GenFv C tool. Right? If yes, can those logic be reused to replace GenSec, GenFfs and GenFv C tools?

Thanks

Liming

主题: [edk2-devel] RFC: Replace FMMT Tool from C to Python Version

Hi everyone,

I would like to propose the new FMMT Python tool, which is used to replace the origin C version tool.

Currently the FMMT C tool is saved in edk2-staging repo, but its quality and coding style can’t meet the Edk2 quality, which is hard to maintain (Hard/Duplicate Code; Regression bugs; Restrict usage).

The new Python version keeps same functions with origin C version. It has higher quality and better coding style, and it is much easier to extend new functions and to maintain.

You can get the FMMT Python tool through below link.

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-staging/tree/PyFMMT

If you are interested in that, pls have a try.

Looking forward to your feedback~

Thanks,

Christine (Yuwei)
