[edk2-devel] [OvmfPkg] Build fails due to insufficient FV size in edk2-stable202502

[Richard Lyu via groups.io]

I built OVMF with the following options

build -D TPM2_ENABLE -D TPM2_CONFIG_ENABLE -D NETWORK_IP6_ENABLE -D NETWORK_HTTP_BOOT_ENABLE -D BUILD_SHELL=FALSE -a X64 -b DEBUG -t GCC5 -p OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc -D FD_SIZE_2MB -D SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE


However, I encountered an insufficient FV size issue. This issue did not occur in edk2-stable202411, but it appears in edk2-stable202502.

GenFv: ERROR 3000: Invalid
  the required fv image size 0x1affc8 exceeds the set fv image size 0x1ac000


Is there any way to resolve this?

Best Regards
Richard Lyu

Change the FD_SIZE_*MB directive to a bigger size. for further information please check the *.fdf files in OvmfPkg to get a grasp of how the file is created and how much size each FV is using.

Using FD_SIZE_4MB instead of FD_SIZE_2MB should help.

[Richard Lyu via groups.io]

Hi memristor2, ardb,

Thank you for your suggestions, but since there is a requirement to use a 2MB size, I need to maintain the size at FD_SIZE_2MB. So, is there any other way to reduce the size, such as by modifying the fdf file? 
Would this method be worth trying?

Best Regards,
Richard Lyu

Yes you could do this manually. one way is to extend the size of the FD that is small and reduce the size of other FDs if they have unused space so the overall size wouldn't change. Look into the FDF specification for a better understanding and it's not that complicated you'd resolve this quickly.

Thanks! It's good for me, and I will try it.

There are a bunch of options you can set via -D to exclude some
features, for example NETWORK_ISCSI_ENABLE=FALSE turns off iscsi
support, or NETWORK_TLS_ENABLE=FALSE turns of TLS (https) support.

HTH,

Hi Gerd,
