Off course we can do it manually via the `FILE = <...>` statement, but it is also possible to do it via the INF file. As with compiled modules this keeps code more structured and clean. + +The files that we want to push to the FFS need to be listed in the INF module `[Binaries]` section. + +Let's try to create INF file for the `Shell.efi` image. First build the `*.efi` file: +``` +build --platform=ShellPkg/ShellPkg.dsc --module=ShellPkg/Application/Shell/Shell.inf --arch=X64 --buildtarget=RELEASE --tagname=GCC5 +``` + +Now create a folder `BinaryModule` for our new module and put newly generated file into that folder: +``` +mkdir UefiLessonsPkg/BinaryModule/ +cp Build/Shell/RELEASE_GCC5/X64/ShellPkg/Application/Shell/Shell/OUTPUT/Shell.efi UefiLessonsPkg/BinaryModule/ +``` + +Create INF file: +``` +[Defines] + INF_VERSION = 1.25 + BASE_NAME = BinaryModule + FILE_GUID = a580fb82-9d1f-480b-ba42-17273d861c95 + MODULE_TYPE = UEFI_APPLICATION + VERSION_STRING = 1.0 + +[Binaries] + PE32|Shell.efi +``` + +Here we don't need the `ENTRY_POINT` define that we've always used in our modules. And `[Packages]` and `[LibraryClasses]` sections are also no longer necessary. +However you might need `[Depex]` section in a you binary module. But right now we leave things as they are. + +The format of the statements inside the `[Binaries]` section is: +``` +<SectionFileType>|<FilePath>[|Target] +``` +- `<SectionFileType>` - remember how there are usually two words for sections inside the rule statements? This is the second word +- `<FilePath>` - path to the file to include +- `<Target>` - you can use `DEBUG/RELEASE/NOOPT/*` as a taget, or you can omit this part alltogether + +To build the binary module along with the ordinary rule section: +``` +[Rule.<ARCH>.<MODULE_TYPE>] +``` +You need to define another rule section: +``` +[Rule.<ARCH>.<MODULE_TYPE>.BINARY] +``` + +So in our case we need to add `[Rule.Common.UEFI_APPLICATION.BINARY]` section along with the old one `[Rule.Common.UEFI_APPLICATION]`. + +`UefiLessonsPkg/UefiLessonsPkg.fdf`: +``` +[FV.SimpleVolume] +FvAlignment = 16 + +INF UefiLessonsPkg/BinaryModule/BinaryModule.inf + +[Rule.Common.UEFI_APPLICATION] + FILE APPLICATION = $(NAMED_GUID) { + PE32 PE32 $(INF_OUTPUT)/$(MODULE_NAME).efi + UI STRING="$(MODULE_NAME)" + VERSION STRING="$(INF_VERSION)" BUILD_NUM=$(BUILD_NUMBER) + } + +[Rule.Common.UEFI_APPLICATION.BINARY] + FILE FREEFORM = $(NAMED_GUID) { + PE32 PE32 |.efi + UI STRING="$(MODULE_NAME)" + VERSION STRING="$(INF_VERSION)" BUILD_NUM=$(BUILD_NUMBER) + } +``` + +To be certain that the correct rule is used in the `BINARY` rule we create `FILE FREEFORM` opposed to the `FILE APPLICATION` in the standard rule. + +In the binary rule statements everything is the same except the `PE32` statement. Here instead of an actual file we need to write file extension in a form `|.<extension>` + +As we don't need to compile our module, we don't need to add it to the `[Components]` section of our DSC file.
