Terminal console


Hello,

Entend -> Extend



REF: https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2186

A common terminal console software Putty support various types of
keyboard type, such as normal mode, Linux mode, Xterm R6, Vt400,
VT100+ and SCO. Refer to the link:

I would suggest to add corresponding GUID declarations just as what has been
done in:

MdePkg/Include/Guid/PcAnsi.h
MdeModulePkg/Include/Guid/TtyTerm.h

After this patch, there will be 3 header files that describe different terminal
modes supported in TerminalDxe driver:

MdePkg/Include/Guid/PcAnsi.h (PcAnsi, VT100, VT100+, VTUTF8)
MdeModulePkg/Include/Guid/TtyTerm.h (TtyTerm)
MdeModulePkg/Include/Guid/TerminalConExtendedType.h (Linux, Xterm R6, Vt400, 
SCO)

Do we have a plan to add those 5 non-UEFI modes in the UEFI spec?


Yes, it's frustrating that the UEFI spec doesn't specify a serial 
terminal type which is in common use.  TtyTerm helped quite a lot with 
practical usability... these new terminal types should help even more.

Thanks,
Brian Johnson

If not, I am wondering is it possible to at least merge TtyTerm.h and
TerminalConExtendedType.h into one file so that we can avoid introducing new
header files every time new terminal modes are being added.

Best Regards,
Hao Wu
