Hello, (Originally sent to edk2 discuss but it looks like my message has been stuck in moderation for a week, so I thought I would try here instead.)
I am new to UEFI and trying to learn how to use EDK 2. I have been able to build EmulatorPkg with stuart but I had a couple questions on where to go from here. I was hoping someone might be able to give some guidance or pointers. Any help is much appreciated. 1. How can I build a UEFI application with a new package? I see the https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/Getting-Started-Writing-Simple-Application suggests to edit an existing package DSC file with the INF file for my module. Which works fine. But where would I begin if I wanted to create my own package without commandeering the build for an already existing package? Would I just have to create a DSC file on my own? Is there a resource I can read on how to create new packages with EDK 2, or is this not the recommended way to get started building applications? 2. What exactly is in MdeModulePkg? I just noticed it has a similar name to MdePkg and wondered what the difference between the two was. The wiki (https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/MdeModulePkg) says "This package provides the modules that conform to UEFI/PI Industry standards. It also provides the defintions(including PPIs/PROTOCOLs/GUIDs and library classes) and libraries instances, which are used for those modules." but I'm not completely sure what this means. Is someone able to elaborate? Thank you, Ryder -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
