Exercise \- UEFI Payload

Note

In this exercise, we’ll learn how to build SlimBootloader with specific payload.

You can execute SBL with the following steps:

  1. Rebuild SBL with specific payload, append the following line into file <sbl_tree>\Platform/QemuBoardPkg/CfgData/CfgDataExt_Brd1.dlt

    GEN_CFG_DATA.PayloadId                     | 'UEFI'

  2. Rebuild SBL by using the following command:

    python BuildLoader.py build qemu -p "OsLoader.efi:LLDR:Lz4;UefiPld.fd:UEFI:Lzma"

  3. Completion: you will see Done [qemu] on the screen after compile completed

  4. Execute SBL on QEMU by using the following command:

  • Windows:

    "C:\Program Files\qemu\qemu-system-x86_64.exe" -m 256M -machine q35 -serial stdio -pflash Outputs\qemu\SlimBootloader.bin -drive id=mydisk,if=none,file=..\Misc\QemuImg\QemuSata.img,format=raw -device ide-hd,drive=mydisk -boot order=d

  • Linux:

    qemu-system-x86_64 -m 256M -machine q35 -serial mon:stdio -nographic -pflash Outputs/qemu/SlimBootloader.bin -drive id=mydisk,if=none,file=../Misc/QemuImg/QemuSata.img,format=raw -device ide-hd,drive=mydisk -boot order=d

  1. Boot to UEFI Shell on graphics console

Compile completed

Note

\- Multiple payloads can be supported.

\- FirmwareUpdate and OsLoader are the default embedded payloads.

\- UEFI payload is a separate payload (Same as coreboot UEFI payload)
