EDK II UEFI DUET – HITOHA.もえ

In this article, I will show you how to compile EDK II DUET (BIOS GPT Bootable)

First, we need a Operating System, so I choose Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as TianoCore recommended, during testing, it works like a charm.

Using other version of Linux distro might works, TianoCore EDK II using very old GCC version, 4.9 to be precise, GCC 5 supported. Other version might throw an error, compiling bios will mark warning as error, so I suggest use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Get Ubuntu 16.04 installed, either real PC or VM, and follow this command to get started:

Development

Get common apt-get in order to compile EDK II

sudo apt-get install build-essential git uuid-dev iasl nasm

Make src folder at home folder

mkdir ~/src
cd ~/src

Clone TianoCore EDK 2 (UDK2018)

git clone --single-branch --branch UDK2010.SR1 https://github.com/tianocore/edk2

Build BaseTools

cd edk2
make -C BaseTools
. edksetup.sh

Configure compile target

Before run build command edit target file first nano Conf/target.txt

Find ACTIVE_PLATFORM
Replace Nt32Pkg/Nt32Pkg.dsc with DuetPkg/DuetPkgX64.dsc

Find TARGET_ARCH
Replace IA32 with X64

Find TOOL_CHAIN_TAG
Replace MYTOOLS withGCC47

Build EDK II

After done configuring, now you can start typing build to compile

DUET UEFI

Now we going to make BIOS PC capable to boot an UEFI Operating System and able to use Large 2TB disk

. edksetup.sh BaseTools

build -p DuetPkg/DuetPkgX64.dsc -a X64 -t GCC47

Make sure Efildr file must less than 470k, you can remove unnecessary drivers at DuetPkg /DuetPkg.fdf by adding # at beginning of line
