-Finally we are ready to write our "Hello World" app.
-
-First we create a new edk2 module in our package directory similar to the our `SimplestApp` module:
-```
-$ mkdir UefiLessonsPkg/HelloWorld
-$ vi UefiLessonsPkg/HelloWorld/HelloWorld.inf
-[Defines]
- INF_VERSION = 1.25
- BASE_NAME = HelloWorld
- FILE_GUID = 2e55fa38-f148-42d3-af90-1be247323e30
- MODULE_TYPE = UEFI_APPLICATION
- VERSION_STRING = 1.0
- ENTRY_POINT = UefiMain
-
-[Sources]
- HelloWorld.c
-
-[Packages]
- MdePkg/MdePkg.dec
-
-[LibraryClasses]
- UefiApplicationEntryPoint
-```
-Don't forget to add our newly created app to the `Components` section of the package DSC file
-```
-[Components]
- UefiLessonsPkg/SimplestApp/SimplestApp.inf
-+ UefiLessonsPkg/HelloWorld/HelloWorld.inf
-```
-Next we need to write the source code file. Let's remember the code for our SimplestApp:
-```
-EFI_STATUS
-EFIAPI
-UefiMain (
- IN EFI_HANDLE ImageHandle,
- IN EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE *SystemTable
- )
-{
- return EFI_SUCCESS;
-}
-```
-To print something to the console ("Hello World" message in our case) we need to use services from the `EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE` that is passed to the entry point of our app.
-
-The description of the `EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE` can be found in the UEFI specification (https://uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/UEFI_Spec_2_8_final.pdf).
-
-EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE is a struct that was populated by the UEFI firmware and contains pointers to the runtime and boot services tables.
-```
-typedef struct {
- EFI_TABLE_HEADER Hdr;
- CHAR16 *FirmwareVendor;
- UINT32 FirmwareRevision;
- EFI_HANDLE ConsoleInHandle;
- EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_PROTOCOL *ConIn;
- EFI_HANDLE ConsoleOutHandle;
- EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL *ConOut;
- EFI_HANDLE StandardErrorHandle;
- EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL *StdErr;
- EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES *RuntimeServices;
- EFI_BOOT_SERVICES *BootServices;
- UINTN NumberOfTableEntries;
- EFI_CONFIGURATION_TABLE *ConfigurationTable;
-} EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE;
-```
-We are interested in the `ConOut` field. `ConOut` is abbreviaton for "Console Output" and according to the UEFI spec it is a pointer to the `EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL` interface that is associated with `ConsoleOutHandle`.
-
-If we keep digging into UEFI spec we can find description of the `EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL`.
-According to the spec `EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL` defines the minimum requirements for a text-based ConsoleOut device.
-
-As everything in UEFI it has GUID:
-```
-#define EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL_GUID \
- {0x387477c2,0x69c7,0x11d2,\
- {0x8e,0x39,0x00,0xa0,0xc9,0x69,0x72,0x3b}}
-```
-
-And the interface description is:
-```
-typedef struct _EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL {
- EFI_TEXT_RESET Reset;
- EFI_TEXT_STRING OutputString;
- EFI_TEXT_TEST_STRING TestString;
- EFI_TEXT_QUERY_MODE QueryMode;
- EFI_TEXT_SET_MODE SetMode;
- EFI_TEXT_SET_ATTRIBUTE SetAttribute;
- EFI_TEXT_CLEAR_SCREEN ClearScreen;
- EFI_TEXT_SET_CURSOR_POSITION SetCursorPosition;
- EFI_TEXT_ENABLE_CURSOR EnableCursor;
- SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_MODE *Mode;
-} EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL;
-```
-Right now we are interested in a `OutputString` method:
-```
-OutputString Displays the string on the device at the current cursor location.
-```
-This is what we need. Let's look at the function description:
-```
-EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL.OutputString()
-
-Summary
-Writes a string to the output device.
-
-Prototype
-typedef
-EFI_STATUS
-(EFIAPI *EFI_TEXT_STRING) (
- IN EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL *This,
- IN CHAR16 *String
- );
-
-Parameters
-This A pointer to the EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL instance.
-String The Null-terminated string to be displayed on the output device(s).
-```
-
-In edk2 `EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL` is defined in the header file:
-https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/Protocol/SimpleTextOut.h
-
-
-With all this knowledge we can write our source code file `UefiLessonsPkg/HelloWorld/HelloWorld.c`:
-```
-EFI_STATUS
-EFIAPI
-UefiMain (
- IN EFI_HANDLE ImageHandle,
- IN EFI_SYSTEM_TABLE *SystemTable
- )
-{
- SystemTable->ConOut->OutputString(SystemTable->ConOut, L"Hello World!\n");
- return EFI_SUCCESS;
-}
-```
-
-The `L""` signifies that the string is composed from CHAR16 symbols, as was required in spec.
-
-As for `CHAR16` - UEFI uses special names like these for simple types. It is a proxy for a different type realization in different processor architectures.
-When we compile our code code for X64, our realization would be picked from a file https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/X64/ProcessorBind.h:
-```
-typedef unsigned short CHAR16;
-```
-For example RISCV would define it like this (https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdePkg/Include/RiscV64/ProcessorBind.h):
-```
-typedef unsigned short CHAR16 __attribute__ ((aligned (2)));
-```
-
-All the simple types for X64:
-```
- ///
- /// 8-byte unsigned value
- ///
- typedef unsigned long long UINT64;
- ///
- /// 8-byte signed value
- ///
- typedef long long INT64;
- ///
- /// 4-byte unsigned value
- ///
- typedef unsigned int UINT32;
- ///
- /// 4-byte signed value
- ///
- typedef int INT32;
- ///
- /// 2-byte unsigned value
- ///
- typedef unsigned short UINT16;
- ///
- /// 2-byte Character. Unless otherwise specified all strings are stored in the
- /// UTF-16 encoding format as defined by Unicode 2.1 and ISO/IEC 10646 standards.
- ///
- typedef unsigned short CHAR16;
- ///
- /// 2-byte signed value
- ///
- typedef short INT16;
- ///
- /// Logical Boolean. 1-byte value containing 0 for FALSE or a 1 for TRUE. Other
- /// values are undefined.
- ///
- typedef unsigned char BOOLEAN;
- ///
- /// 1-byte unsigned value
- ///
- typedef unsigned char UINT8;
- ///
- /// 1-byte Character
- ///
- typedef char CHAR8;
- ///
- /// 1-byte signed value
- ///
- typedef signed char INT8;
-```
-
-
-Let's finally compile our edk2 module:
-```
-$ build --platform=UefiLessonsPkg/UefiLessonsPkg.dsc \
- --module=UefiLessonsPkg/HelloWorld/HelloWorld.inf \
- --arch=X64 \
- --buildtarget=RELEASE --tagname=GCC5
-```
-
-Copy the app to our `UEFI_disk` folder and run OVMF:
-```
-$ cp Build/UefiLessonsPkg/RELEASE_GCC5/X64/HelloWorld.efi ~/UEFI_disk/
-$ qemu-system-x86_64 -drive if=pflash,format=raw,file=Build/OvmfX64/RELEASE_GCC5/FV/OVMF.fd \
- -drive format=raw,file=fat:rw:~/UEFI_disk \
- -nographic \
- -net none
-```
