Lab Setup Windows

1. Download the UEFI Training Materials .zip (accept any security notifications)
2. Click “Open” and Unzip the file to C: which will take a few minutes
   Note: It is highly important that you unzip the file correctly to this location because all the file locations in this training guide follow that format.

   C:\Fw\Presentations  - separate zip file 
   C:\Fw \Edk2 – Open source tianocore.org EDK II 
   C:\Fw \DriverWizard – Install .MSI
   C:\Fw \LabSampleCode  - Solutions for Labs
   C:\Fw \Documentation - .chm files and examples
   C:\Fw\Nasm – For Assembly compiler
   

3. Copy the C:\fw\NASM directory to C:
   

Pin Visual Studio Command Prompt for Windows

• Pin a Visual Studio Command Prompt for Windows 10
  It will look similar to this “Visual Studio Command Prompt (201n)” in the Task bar
  Note: this is the prompt that will be used to build the EDK II Labs

Preparing for the BUILD Command

Note: You’ll need to repeat this step each time you exit the Visual Studio Command Prompt window. It is recommended that you keep your command prompt open during the training Labs.

1. Open Visual Studio Command Prompt
2. Type $ CD c:\fw\edk2 and then Press “Enter”
3. Type $ Edksetup and then Press “Enter”
   Note: If you see “!!! WARNING !!!...”, don’t be alarmed. The "No CYGWIN..." can be ignored at this time, BUT make sure "NASM" is found and the NASM_PREFIXis set to C:\nasm\

Configuring Build Tools

Note: You only need to edit Target.txt and/or Tools_Def.txt once after the first edksetup command after downloading the Training materials .zip file.

1. Open Notepad or other text editor that supports UNICODE
2. Open C:/fw/edk2/Conf/Target.txt
3. Use the Microsoft Windows and Visual Studio Matrix and then update TOOL_CHAIN_TAG to match your version of Visual Studio
4. Modify TOOL_CHAIN_TAG to match your version of Visual Studio.
   Example:
   for Windows 10 64 bit OS and Visual Studio 2013 modify the following in Target.txt
   From:
   TOOL_CHAIN_TAG = MYTOOLS
   to:
   TOOL_CHAIN_TAG = VS2013x86
   OPTIONAL: Update the MAX_CONCURRENT_THREAD_NUMBER By the number of processors on your laptop + 1. Example: most have Intel® Dual Core with Hyper threading which means 2 procs + 2 HT + 1 = 5.
5. Save and close the text file C:/fw/edk2/conf/target.txt
