I used FFS to turn the downloaded .efi file into an .ffs which I then inserted into the BIOS image using mmtool. This results in some read-only "info" entries from the driver appearing in the "Advanced" menu, but the NIC devices never get proposed in the configurable BIOS boot sequence... ahh well.frrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01318725477393552129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8361942945221983453.post-49429809990043474912017-12-14T16:58:37.315+00:002017-12-14T16:58:37.315+00:00Awesome!

I am now wanting to write my own UEFI BIOS and move forward with learning this. <br /><br />Just looked at the UEFI specs and wow....

Having a new issue now maybe you know the answer. Trying to add ffs files to an OVMF Qemu FD image without success. Both MMTool and UEFITool have issues. Any ideas Pete?<br /><br />Thanksdavidm671https://www.blogger.com/profile/13724049139824702902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8361942945221983453.post-36505896001836427222017-02-27T16:22:52.995+00:002017-02-27T16:22:52.995+00:00UEFI firmwares are designed to be modular, so you ...UEFI firmwares are designed to be modular, so you should be able to add any driver you want. Be mindful however that your motherboard manufacturer may have added authentication to only accept firmwares that they issued, so your modified firmware might be rejected for flashing if that is the case. Also, the behaviour of loading a driver from the shell and loading a driver from the firmware should be the same. Are you sure you issued a 'map -r' after loading your driver in the shell. This is necessary if you installed new storage or file system drivers...Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00656449482260202625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8361942945221983453.post-49025174210448109892017-02-25T18:55:51.342+00:002017-02-25T18:55:51.342+00:00Pete,

The reason I ask is because I'm using Duet to boot a Usb key with Nvme driver on non supported x58 platform. This works and I can boot off the Nvme drive but the Shell cant see the other raid array and it would be cool if the shell could see the Intel raid array.<br /><br />Thanksdavidm671https://www.blogger.com/profile/13724049139824702902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8361942945221983453.post-66434397438839574592016-08-12T16:30:18.622+01:002016-08-12T16:30:18.622+01:00Thank you for everything you post!
