~ hucktech ~ Leave a comment

Laurie Jarlstrom of Intel announced the latest UEFI FDF spec: V1.27 Draft for Review.

“Please Review By EOW”.

I think I already saw an issue show up on the public EDK2 bug database.

EDK II FDF File Spec v1.27 DRAFT for Review
Update Sept 2016 (DRAFT)
This document describes the EDK II Flash Description (FDF) file format. This format was designed to support new build requirements of building EDK and EDK II modules within the EDK II build infrastructure. The EDK II Build Infrastructure supports generation of current Unified EFI, Inc. (UEFI 2.6 and PI 1.4) compliant binary images. The FDF file is used to describe the content and layout of binary images. Binary images described in this file may be any combination of boot images, capsule images or PCI Options ROMs.

Laurie Jarlstrom of Intel announced on the EDK-II list about upcoming Sourceforge to Github hosting changes:

This message is an update on the transition from SourceForge to GitHub for EDK II development.  The schedule is currently targeting the last week of January or the first week of February to perform the transition.  The transition process should only take one to two days to complete.  A notification message will be sent the week prior to the actual dates that the repositories will be impacted.  This should provide adequate notification for the scheduled down time. As part of this transition some documentation and process changes have been required.  The updated process as well as other GitHub specific information can be found on the tianocore Wiki at the link provided below.  Feedback on this documentation is welcome and needed to make sure the transition is as smooth as possible.
