Marvin, The PyGen*** tools I mentioned below are not implemented yet. But we want to convert the BaseTools C tools to python tools so we can move all basetools from edk2 repo to edk2-basetools repo.
For the edk2-basetools repo, please refer to the discussion https://edk2.groups.io/g/devel/topic/73069134#57482 Thanks, Bob -----Original Message----- From: r...@edk2.groups.io <r...@edk2.groups.io> On Behalf Of Marvin Häuser Sent: Friday, October 29, 2021 9:27 PM To: devel@edk2.groups.io; Feng, Bob C <bob.c.f...@intel.com>; gaolim...@byosoft.com.cn; Chen, Christine <yuwei.c...@intel.com>; r...@edk2.groups.io Cc: Kinney, Michael D <michael.d.kin...@intel.com> Subject: Re: [edk2-rfc] [edk2-devel] RFC: Replace FMMT Tool from C to Python Version Good day, Is there any information available on PyGenFv? It also handles ELF to PE conversion (who knows why...), is that planned to be ported to Python as well? For Project Amaranth, we are currently implementing a tool to replace the ELF to PE conversion (among other things) and decided to write it in C to leverage the existing EDK II libraries for PE and ELF parsing, rather than re-implementing parsing in a different language. We'd like to stay compatible with upstream EDK II for as long as possible, and plan to send patches for a tool proposal whenever it is ready (do not expect it before mid next year, if at all).
