+
+If we want to create VPD file we need to add a special define `VPD_TOOL_GUID` to the DSC `[Defines]` section. This define determines a tool which would be used for VPD generation. EDK2 comes with one such tool, so let's try to use it.
+ 
+Add this to the `OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc` file:
+```
+[Defines]
+  ...
+  VPD_TOOL_GUID                  = 8C3D856A-9BE6-468E-850A-24F7A8D38E08
+```
+
+This GUID corresponds to the GUID of the tool `VPDTOOL` defined in the `Conf/tools_def.txt`:
+```
+##################
+# BPDG tool definitions
+##################
+*_*_*_VPDTOOL_PATH         = BPDG
+*_*_*_VPDTOOL_GUID         = 8C3D856A-9BE6-468E-850A-24F7A8D38E08
+```
+The tool `VPDTOOL` is a Python module from the folder [`BaseTools/Source/Python/BPDG/`](https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/BaseTools/Source/Python/BPDG/) which is used via [`BaseTools/BinWrappers/PosixLike/BPDG`](https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/BaseTools/BinWrappers/PosixLike/BPDG) wrapper on Linux. As a wrapper folder `BaseTools/BinWrappers/PosixLike` gets added to the environment `PATH` variable after the `. edksetup.sh` command, we can simply declare path for `VPDTOOL` as `BPDG`.
