1.1 Overview

This document describes the format for DEC files with the following goals:

Compatible

The DEC Format must maintain backward compatibility with any existing DEC file formats. This means that the changes made to this specification must not require changes to existing DEC files.

Simplified platform build and configuration

One goal of this format is to simplify the build setup and configuration for a given platform. It was also designed to simplify the process of developing EDK II firmware components.
