DEC

宣告檔格式-[ HTML , PDF , Mobi , ePub , Gitbook, GitHub ] - 該文件描述 EDK II 宣告檔 (DEC) 格式。 這格式被設計來支援建置套件和 EDK II 模組的布局,以及使用 EDK II 建置基礎架構下給建置平台和模組。 EDK II 宣告檔可能在遵循 UEFI 平台初始化發行套件規範下的發行版的安裝中被創建出來。他們也可以被手動創建。 EDK II 基礎架構支援產生 UEFI 2.5 和 PI 1.4 (Unified EFI, Inc.) 相容的二元映像檔。

DSC

平台組態描述檔格式 -[ HTML , PDF , Mobi , ePub , Gitbook, GitHub ] - 該文件描述 EDK II 平台組態描述檔 (DSC) 格式。 EDK 建置工具 (Build Tools)被涵蓋成 EDK II 相容性套件的一部分。為了要使用 EDK II 模組或 EDK II 建置工具,一個 EDK II DSC 和 FDF 檔必須使用。 EDK II 使用 INI 風格文本基底的檔案去描述元件,平台和韌體冊 (Firmware Volumes)。 雖然相似 EDK DSC 檔,這 EDK II 建置格式是不同的,且新的套裝軟體已經被提供去處理 (process) 這些檔案。 EDK II 建置基礎結構支援實現 Unified EFI (UEFI) 2.5 和 平台基礎結構 (PI) 1.4 規範下的二元映像檔創建。

FDF

刷錄描述檔格式 - [ HTML , PDF , Mobi , ePub , Gitbook, GitHub ] - 這文件描述 EDK II 刷錄描述檔格式。這格式被設計用來支援在 EDK 和 EDK II 建置基礎架構裡建置 EDK 和 EDK II 模組的新的建置需求。 EDK II 建置基礎架構支援產生目前 Unified EFI, Inc. (UEFI 2.5 和 PI 1.4) 相容的二元映像檔。這 FDF 檔被使用來描述二進制映像檔布局的內容。在檔案裡的二進制映像檔描述可能是任何組合- 開機映像檔,膠囊映像檔或 PCI 選擇 ROMs。

IDF

VFR

虛擬表單呈現規範 -[ HTML , PDF , Mobi , ePub , Gitbook, GitHub ] - 為了簡化內部表單展現的設計,一個高階虛擬表單展現語言在這文件描述。使用這個語言語法,編譯器能被設計去抓取傳統文本檔案包含 VFR 當輸入,和輸出 IFR 給使用者的程式來使用。 有各式各樣的方法去定義 VFR 語言。

C 編碼標準

EDK II C 編碼標準規範 - [ HTML , PDF , Mobi , ePub , Gitbook, GitHub ] - EDK II C 編碼標準規範建立一個規矩叢,不是打算用來限制而是當成實行原理用來:

  • 建立單一性風格。
  • 設立最小資訊內容的需求。
  • 允許所有程式設計師更容易理解原始碼。
  • 藉著建立單一慣例加強支援任務。
  • 利用源碼裡嵌入設計文件來簡化文件工作。
  • 提供精準的源碼文件和單一風格減輕客戶和新進員工學習曲線。

這些規則適用所有的開發源碼。


  • EDK II 樣板規範 [ HTML , PDF , Mobi , ePub , Gitbook, GitHub ] 這文件是一個樣板能被複製去開始(創造)一個新的 Tianocore Gitbook 文件。它也提供了可在 Tianocore 規範裡找到的一般性風格和格式的範例。

Build

Build Specification -[ HTML , PDF , Mobi , ePub , Gitbook, GitHub ] - This document describes the EDK II Build Architecture. This specification was designed to support new build requirements for building EDK II modules and EDK components within the EDK II build infrastructure as well as to generate binary firmware images and Unified Extensible Firmware Image (UEFI) applications.

DEC

Declaration file format-[ HTML , PDF , Mobi , ePub , Gitbook, GitHub ] - This document describes the EDK II Declaration (DEC) file format. This format was designed to support building packaging and distribution of EDK II modules, as well as for building platforms and modules using the EDK II build infrastructure. EDK II declaration files may be created during installation of a distribution that follows the UEFI Platform Initialization Distribution Package Specification. They may also be created manually. The EDK II Build Infrastructure supports generation of UEFI 2.5 and PI 1.4 (Unified EFI, Inc.) compliant binary images.

DSC

Platform Description file format -[ HTML , PDF , Mobi , ePub , Gitbook, GitHub ] -This document describes the EDK II Platform Description file (DSC) format. The EDK Build Tools are included as part of the EDK II compatibility package. In order to use EDK II Modules or the EDK II Build Tools, an EDK II DSC and FDF file must be used. EDK II tools use INI style text based files to describe components, platforms and firmware volumes. While similar to EDK DSC files, the EDK II DSC file format is different, and new utilities have been provided to process these files. The EDK II Build Infrastructure supports creation of binary images that comply with Unified EFI (UEFI) 2.5 and UEFI Platform Infrastructure (PI) 1.4 specifications.

FDF

Flash Description file format - [ HTML , PDF , Mobi , ePub , Gitbook, GitHub ] - This document describes the EDK II Flash Description (FDF) file format. This format was designed to support new build requirements of building EDK and EDK II modules within the EDK II build infrastructure. The EDK II Build Infrastructure supports generation of current Unified EFI, Inc. (UEFI 2.5 and PI 1.4) compliant binary images. The FDF file is used to describe the content and layout of binary images. Binary images described in this file may be any combination of boot images, capsule images or PCI Options ROMs.

IDF

Image Definition IDF File Format Specification - [ HTML , PDF , Mobi , ePub , Gitbook, GitHub ] - This document describes file format for Image Description files that are used to create HII Image Packages introduced in the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface Specification, Version 2.1.

INF

information file format - [ HTML , PDF , Mobi , ePub , Gitbook, GitHub ] - This document describes the EDK II build information (INF) file format. This format supports the new build requirements of build EDK components and EDK II modules within the EDK II build infrastructure. The EDK II Build Infrastructure supports creation of binary images that comply with Unified EFI (UEFI) 2.5 and UEFI Platform Infrastructure (PI) 1.4 specifications.

Meta-Data

Meta-Data Expression Syntax Specification -[ HTML , PDF , Mobi , ePub , Gitbook, GitHub ] - This document describes the syntax of expression statements for EDK II Meta-data files used in data fields, feature flag expressions and conditional directive statements.

PCD

EDK II PCD Specification -[ HTML , PDF , Mobi , ePub , Gitbook, GitHub ] - This document discusses the mechanisms and configuration entries required to make it easy to write portable silicon modules and to port the Framework from platform to platform.

UNI

Unicode Format File Specification - [ HTML , PDF , Mobi , ePub , Gitbook, GitHub ] - This document describes the Multi-String build information (UNI) file format . See details in the Revision History in the document for more details.

VFR

Visual Form Representation Specification -[ HTML , PDF , Mobi , ePub , Gitbook, GitHub ] - To simplify the creation of Internal Forms Representation (IFR), a high-level Visual Forms Representation (VFR) language is described in this document. Using this language syntax, a compiler can be designed to take an ordinary text file containing VFR as an input, and output IFR for use in a user’s program. There are various methods to define the VFR language.

C Coding Standards

EDK II C Coding Standards Specification - [ HTML , PDF , Mobi , ePub , Gitbook, GitHub ] - The EDK II C Coding Standards Specification establishes a set of rules intended not as a constraint, but as an enabling philosophy which will:

  • Establish uniformity of style.
  • Set minimum information content requirements.
  • Allow all programmers to easily understand the code.
  • Facilitate support tasks by establishing uniform conventions.
  • Ease documentation efforts by embedding the design documentation in the code.
  • Reduce customer and new employee learning curves by providing accurate code documentation and uniform style.

These rules apply to all code developed.
