Re: how to create environmental variable for Shell

[<Jim.Dailey@dell.com>]

Please excuse the stupid email plug-in I have to use that puts the
"Internal Use" line in my text emails. The plug-in does not allow
me to see that text, so I have to remember to remove it every time
even though I never see it.  Sadly, I sometimes forget.

Dell - Internal Use - Confidential   <=== No, this is *NOT* true!

You need to use the shell's GUID, gShellVariableGuid, if you want to
create a shell variable.

Hi, experts:
I have a question about creating shell’s environmental variable.
Such as : StartupDelay

I tried to create this variable at uefi boot phase.
……
              TmpVal = 2;
              Status =  gRT->SetVariable (
                                   L"StartupDelay",
                                   &gEfiGlobalVariableGuid,
                                   EFI_VARIABLE_BOOTSERVICE_ACCESS | EFI_VARIABLE_RUNTIME_ACCESS |EFI_VARIABLE_NON_VOLATILE,
                                   sizeof (TmpVal),
                                   &TmpVal
              );
……

When boot to shell, it still delays 5 seconds.

I tried to use shell cmd ‘set’, then it’s ok, shell’s default delay switched to 2 seconds.

I used dmpstore cmd to list current system’s variables, and found 2 StartupDelay variables:
Efi:StartupDelay
SEnv:StartupDelay

So, my question is:
How to create “SEnv:StartupDelay” variable in UEFI BIOS code.

Thanks

Best wishes,
