gcc shell - lersek/edk2 GitHub Wiki
Note: this package has been deprecated. Please refer to Shell and ShellPkg for the latest info.
The purpose of this project is to provide the ability to build the efi-shell project in the EDK II for the ARM processor type, and for all processor types with GCC. Currently you can build the efi-shell in the EDK II with the Edk Compatibility Package, but it does not support ARM or GCC. Since adding ARM and GCC support required modifying the efi-shell code in a way that is not compatible with the efi-shell project this new project was added.
The current gcc-shell project is based on the efi-shell project Subversion revision 34.
It is intended that this project will have a short life. The long term goal is to have a pure EDK II shell. When an EDK II shell is available this project will be retired.
This section assumes you have the edk2 checked out into the edk directory. Use Subversion to check out the GccShellPkg in the edk2 directory with the following commands:
$ cd edk2 $ svn co https://gcc-shell.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gcc-shell/trunk/GccShellPkg GccShellPkg
On Windows binary copies of the tools are checked into source control. On Unix like systems the tools must be built. So do the following to build the tools on a Unix like system. You should only need to do this one time after you checked the code out from source control:
~/work/edk2$ make -C BaseTools/Source/C
Follow the OS specific instructions to setup your build environment, and build a gcc compiler if needed. For Windows edksetup.bat, for Unix like systems you need to source edksetup.sh. Then you can build the shell from the edk2 directory. You only need to execute the edksetup script one time in you terminal window:
Windows with RVCT: Shell binary: edk2/Build/GccShellPkg/DEBUG_RVCT31/IA32/ShellFull.efi
C:\edk2> edksetup.bat C:\edk2> build -p GccShellPkg/GccShellPkg.dsc -a ARM -t RVCT31
Windows Cygwin Bash shell with RVCT: Shell binary: edk2/Build/GccShellPkg/DEBUG_RVCT31CYGWIN/IA32/ShellFull.efi
~/work/edk2$ . edksetup.sh BaseTools ~/work/edk2$ build -p GccShellPkg/GccShellPkg.dsc -a ARM -t RVCT31CYGWIN
OS X with Xcode tools example: Shell binary: edk2/Build/GccShellPkg/DEBUG_XCODE32/IA32/ShellFull.efi
~/work/edk2$ . edksetup.sh BaseTools ~/work/edk2$ build -p GccShellPkg/GccShellPkg.dsc -a IA32 -t XCODE32
Linux with GCC tools example: Shell binary: edk2/Build/GccShellPkg/DEBUG_ELFGCC/X64/ShellFull.efi
~/work/edk2$ . edksetup.sh BaseTools ~/work/edk2$ build -p GccShellPkg/GccShellPkg.dsc -a X64 -t ELFGCC
$ cd edk2/UnixPkg $ vi UnixPkg.fdfUpdate the Flash Description File (.fdf) to point to the GccShellPkg binary we just built. Note path will change based on the compiler you used:
SECTION PE32 = EdkShellBinPkg/FullShell/Ia32/Shell_Full.efi # SECTION PE32 =Build/GccShellPkg/DEBUG_XCODE32/IA32/ShellFull.efiTo:
# SECTION PE32 = EdkShellBinPkg/FullShell/Ia32/Shell_Full.efi
SECTION PE32 =Build/GccShellPkg/DEBUG_XCODE32/IA32/ShellFull.efi
Now build the UnixPkg to include the shell we can source level debug:
$ ./build.sh
Run the UnixPkg emulator:
$ ./build.sh run Building from: /Users/fish/work/Migration/edk2 using prebuilt tools Reading symbols for shared libraries ...... done Breakpoint 1 at 0xce84: file /Users/fish/work/Migration/edk2/UnixPkg/Sec/SecMain.c, line 1070. (gdb)Type r and hit return at the gdb prompt to start the emulator. Let the UnixPkg emulator run until it boots the EFI Shell (gcc-shell) and break into gdb with a ctrl-c. Your gdb back trace might vary, depending on where you broke in, but you should see symbols for the EFI-Shell. The current UnixPkg uses an EFI shell binary that was produced with Visual Studio so no symbols will be shown if you use that one.

You can see by calls to InitializeShell() and NShellPrompt() that the shell supports source level debugging.
The UnixPkg should produce an X11 window that is the emulated EFI graphics console containing a shell prompt. Do the ctrl-c after you see the shell prompt

edk2/Conf/tools_def.txt file does not existThis file is not checked into source control. When you setup your build environment the first time edk2/BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.template gets copied to edk2/Conf/tools_def.txt. This allows you to make local modification to match the locations of the compilers installed on your system without having to check that back into source control. If edk/Conf/tools_def.txt exists it will not get overwritten. So you should only have to change it one time.
