Hi @Yao, Jiewen<mailto:jiewen.yao@intel.com>,

Thanks for your review and feedback.
When there is a pending Tcg request, the control will be in Tcg2 library and it will not reach to BDS until user press the input key.
As there is no information the screen because of screen is blocked by some other messages/Logo.
So user won't able to press the key without any user information and control will not reach to BDS phase.

As TCG user confirmation is the highest priority and it blocks the POST until the user presses the input key. Before TCG messages Print on the console, there should be logic added to clear the graphics screen

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks & Regards

Hello
I agree with you on the problem statement.

But I don't think this is a desired solution.
We expect Platform BDS to call the PhysicalPresenceLib. As such, why not clear the  screen in the platform BDS?

Thank you
Yao, Jiewen

Subject: [PATCH] Patch - Enhance Tcg2 to clear graphics before printing the
messages on screen

[Background]
Tcg2UserConfirm() Function is used to display any user conformation messages on the console
Function Definition Full path - SecurityPkg\Library\DxeTcg2PhysicalPresenceLib\DxeTcg2PhysicalPresenceLib.c

[Issue]
In the current Tcg2UserConfirm() implementation, This function forms a destination string to be displayed on the console and directly Print the message on Console.

But there is no logic added to clear the graphics before printing the messages on the screen.

There are some scenarios where Tcg messages might have been blocked by some other GUI or messages on Console.
  1. When there are some messages or logos already displayed in the content on the console,
     TCG message will NOT be displayed or corrupted to the End user.
  2. There could be a Custom logo displaying on the screen which actually blocks the screen.

[Solution]
  1. As TCG user confirmation is the highest priority and it blocks the POST until the user
     presses the input key. Before TCG messages Print on the console, there should be logic
     added to clear the graphics screen
