EDK II FileSystemPkg

Introduction

This module provides a driver that exposes EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME2_PROTOCOL instances as read-only EFI_SIMPLE_FILE_SYSTEM_PROTOCOL-compatible file systems. This enables users and programs to explore and read data from an FV2 instance from a simple file-like perspective.

It was developed as a Google Summer of Code project by Colin Drake over the summer of 2011.

Installation/Integration

First, download a recent EDKII release. cd to the root directory and download the FileSystemPkg sources (either master or development branch).

$ ...
$ cd edk2
$ git clone [email protected]:cfdrake/FileSystemPkg.git

Next, add a reference to the FileSystemPkg module GUID, specified in Ffs.inf, and a reference to Ffs.inf itself in the .dec, .fdf, and .dsc files of your build environment of choice.

Finally, build the project. The driver should be integrated and you should be able to mount FV2 instances from the shell.

$ cd <YourDevEnvironment>
$ ./build.sh
...
$ ./build.sh run
