Hi Pankaj,
Apologies for slow response - having a bit of a heatwave and no AC...

Works for me.

1) OK, so the expectation is that this script should be sourced?
This is not mentioned in the commit message, in comments in the
script itself, and it does not warn you about that if you simply
run it.
2) It's not like WORKSPACE or PACKAGES_PATH. Nothing in the EDK2
BuildTools environment looks at FIRMWARE_VER.
3) It relies on PACKAGES_PATH being set in the environment.
So if I try to deduce the undocumented intended build steps, this
patch intends for the user to execute
$ . <edk2-platforms>/Silicon/NXP/set_firmware_ver.sh
which then prints for me that I should
"build edk2 firmware with -D FIRMWARE_VER=$FIRMWARE_VER"
This is not something that is of any use outside of your own build
infrastructure, so I would suggest you keep it downstream.
Having a generic (and portable) way of printing what you're currently
building isn't a bad idea however. If you were willing to create a
script for BaseTools based on roughly the below mechanics:
---
from __future__ import print_function
import os
import git
PACKAGES = os.environ['PACKAGES_PATH'].split(':')
# Trim empty entries caused by leading/trailing delimiter
try:
while True:
PACKAGES.remove('')
except ValueError:
pass
for package in PACKAGES:
REPO = git.Repo(path=package)
HEAD = REPO.head
SHA = REPO.git.rev_parse(HEAD, short=12)
if REPO.is_dirty():
STATE = 'dirty'
else:
STATE = 'clean'
print('%s: %s-%s' % (os.path.basename(package), SHA, STATE))
---
I think that would be a lot more useful. If you were to add some
BinWrappers as well, you could then add in your build instructions to
use -D FIRMWARE_VER="`commandname`"
