GitHub - Chunkuo/UEFIProject2: A project for allowing EDK-II Development with Visual Studio

Synopsis

Based on Alex Ionescu’s VisualUefi. Begin my UEFI development project.

Motivation

Traditional UEFI development environment is hard to build.

To use VisualUefi for easy UEFI component development.

Based on Visual Studio build environment, adding some VisualUefi-specific glue to support building within Visual Studio without 3rd party tools, and includes the latest QEMU and OVMF w/ SecureBoot packages for bare-metal testing of UEFI, without relying on Windows emulation.

Installation

At first install NASM (https://www.nasm.us/) and check, that environment variable NASM_PREFIX is correctly set to NASM installation path. No other 3rd party tools are needed.

To Build the library Than you should be able to open the EDK-II.SLN file and build without any issues in either Visual Studio 2015 or 2017 or 2019(My enviornment). WDK is not needed.

To Build the sample code Once the EDK-II libraries are built, you should be able to open the SAMPLES.SLN file and build the samples, which will create UefiApplication.efi, UefiDriver.efi, Cryptest.efi, and FtdiUsbSerialDxe.efi

Documentation

Please refer to EDK-II/TianoCore for all documentation/help regarding EDK-II.

Tests

You can press F5 (Run/Debug) from within the Sample Solution, which should spin up the QEMU instance with 512MB of RAM, and your release directory as a virtual file system accessible through fs1:

UEFI Hello World * fs1:\UefiApplication.efi
