Detailed Description

The Firmware Volume Protocol provides file-level access to the firmware volume. Each firmware volume driver must produce an instance of the Firmware Volume Protocol if the firmware volume is to be visible to the system during the DXE phase. The Firmware Volume Protocol also provides mechanisms for determining and modifying some attributes of the firmware volume.

◆ EFI_FV_GET_ATTRIBUTES

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_FV_GET_ATTRIBUTES) (IN CONST EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME2_PROTOCOL *This, OUT EFI_FV_ATTRIBUTES *FvAttributes)

Returns the attributes and current settings of the firmware volume.

Because of constraints imposed by the underlying firmware storage, an instance of the Firmware Volume Protocol may not be to able to support all possible variations of this architecture. These constraints and the current state of the firmware volume are exposed to the caller using the GetVolumeAttributes() function. GetVolumeAttributes() is callable only from TPL_NOTIFY and below. Behavior of GetVolumeAttributes() at any EFI_TPL above TPL_NOTIFY is undefined.

Parameters
ThisIndicates the EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME2_PROTOCOL instance.
FvAttributesPointer to an EFI_FV_ATTRIBUTES in which the attributes and current settings are returned.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe firmware volume attributes were returned.

◆ EFI_FV_GET_INFO

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_FV_GET_INFO) (IN CONST EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME2_PROTOCOL *This, IN CONST EFI_GUID *InformationType, IN OUT UINTN *BufferSize, OUT VOID *Buffer)

Return information about a firmware volume.

The GetInfo() function returns information of type InformationType for the requested firmware volume. If the volume does not support the requested information type, then EFI_UNSUPPORTED is returned. If the buffer is not large enough to hold the requested structure, EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL is returned and the BufferSize is set to the size of buffer that is required to make the request. The information types defined by this specification are required information types that all file systems must support.

Parameters
ThisA pointer to the EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME2_PROTOCOL instance that is the file handle the requested information is for.
InformationTypeThe type identifier for the information being requested.
BufferSizeOn input, the size of Buffer. On output, the amount of data returned in Buffer. In both cases, the size is measured in bytes.
BufferA pointer to the data buffer to return. The buffer's type is indicated by InformationType.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe information was retrieved.
EFI_UNSUPPORTEDThe InformationType is not known.
EFI_NO_MEDIAThe device has no medium.
EFI_DEVICE_ERRORThe device reported an error.
EFI_VOLUME_CORRUPTEDThe file system structures are corrupted.
EFI_BUFFER_TOO_SMALLThe BufferSize is too small to read the current directory entry. BufferSize has been updated with the size needed to complete the request.

◆ EFI_FV_GET_NEXT_FILE

Retrieves information about the next file in the firmware volume store that matches the search criteria.

GetNextFile() is the interface that is used to search a firmware volume for a particular file. It is called successively until the desired file is located or the function returns EFI_NOT_FOUND. To filter uninteresting files from the output, the type of file to search for may be specified in FileType. For example, if *FileType is EFI_FV_FILETYPE_DRIVER, only files of this type will be returned in the output. If *FileType is EFI_FV_FILETYPE_ALL, no filtering of file types is done. The Key parameter is used to indicate a starting point of the search. If the buffer *Key is completely initialized to zero, the search re-initialized and starts at the beginning. Subsequent calls to GetNextFile() must maintain the value of *Key returned by the immediately previous call. The actual contents of *Key are implementation specific and no semantic content is implied. GetNextFile() is callable only from TPL_NOTIFY and below. Behavior of GetNextFile() at any EFI_TPL above TPL_NOTIFY is undefined.

Parameters
ThisIndicates the EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME2_PROTOCOL instance.
KeyPointer to a caller-allocated buffer that contains implementation-specific data that is used to track where to begin the search for the next file. The size of the buffer must be at least This->KeySize bytes long. To re-initialize the search and begin from the beginning of the firmware volume, the entire buffer must be cleared to zero. Other than clearing the buffer to initiate a new search, the caller must not modify the data in the buffer between calls to GetNextFile().
FileTypePointer to a caller-allocated EFI_FV_FILETYPE. The GetNextFile() API can filter its search for files based on the value of the FileType input. A *FileType input of EFI_FV_FILETYPE_ALL causes GetNextFile() to search for files of all types. If a file is found, the file's type is returned in FileType. *FileType is not modified if no file is found.
NameGuidPointer to a caller-allocated EFI_GUID. If a matching file is found, the file's name is returned in NameGuid. If no matching file is found, *NameGuid is not modified.
AttributesPointer to a caller-allocated EFI_FV_FILE_ATTRIBUTES. If a matching file is found, the file's attributes are returned in Attributes. If no matching file is found, Attributes is not modified. Type EFI_FV_FILE_ATTRIBUTES is defined in ReadFile().
SizePointer to a caller-allocated UINTN. If a matching file is found, the file's size is returned in *Size. If no matching file is found, Size is not modified.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe output parameters are filled with data obtained from the first matching file that was found.
FI_NOT_FOUNDNo files of type FileType were found.
EFI_DEVICE_ERRORA hardware error occurred when attempting to access the firmware volume.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIEDThe firmware volume is configured to disallow reads.

◆ EFI_FV_READ_FILE

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_FV_READ_FILE) (IN CONST EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME2_PROTOCOL *This, IN CONST EFI_GUID *NameGuid, IN OUT VOID **Buffer, IN OUT UINTN *BufferSize, OUT EFI_FV_FILETYPE *FoundType, OUT EFI_FV_FILE_ATTRIBUTES *FileAttributes, OUT UINT32 *AuthenticationStatus)

Retrieves a file and/or file information from the firmware volume.

ReadFile() is used to retrieve any file from a firmware volume during the DXE phase. The actual binary encoding of the file in the firmware volume media may be in any arbitrary format as long as it does the following: It is accessed using the Firmware Volume Protocol. The image that is returned follows the image format defined in Code Definitions: PI Firmware File Format. If the input value of Buffer==NULL, it indicates the caller is requesting only that the type, attributes, and size of the file be returned and that there is no output buffer. In this case, the following occurs:

  • BufferSize is returned with the size that is required to successfully complete the read.
  • The output parameters FoundType and *FileAttributes are returned with valid values.
  • The returned value of *AuthenticationStatus is undefined.

If the input value of Buffer!=NULL, the output buffer is specified by a double indirection of the Buffer parameter. The input value of *Buffer is used to determine if the output buffer is caller allocated or is dynamically allocated by ReadFile(). If the input value of *Buffer!=NULL, it indicates the output buffer is caller allocated. In this case, the input value of *BufferSize indicates the size of the caller-allocated output buffer. If the output buffer is not large enough to contain the entire requested output, it is filled up to the point that the output buffer is exhausted and EFI_WARN_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL is returned, and then BufferSize is returned with the size required to successfully complete the read. All other output parameters are returned with valid values. If the input value of *Buffer==NULL, it indicates the output buffer is to be allocated by ReadFile(). In this case, ReadFile() will allocate an appropriately sized buffer from boot services pool memory, which will be returned in Buffer. The size of the new buffer is returned in BufferSize and all other output parameters are returned with valid values. ReadFile() is callable only from TPL_NOTIFY and below. Behavior of ReadFile() at any EFI_TPL above TPL_NOTIFY is undefined.

Parameters
ThisIndicates the EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME2_PROTOCOL instance.
NameGuidPointer to an EFI_GUID, which is the file name. All firmware file names are EFI_GUIDs. A single firmware volume must not have two valid files with the same file name EFI_GUID.
BufferPointer to a pointer to a buffer in which the file contents are returned, not including the file header.

◆ EFI_FV_READ_SECTION

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_FV_READ_SECTION) (IN CONST EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME2_PROTOCOL *This, IN CONST EFI_GUID *NameGuid, IN EFI_SECTION_TYPE SectionType, IN UINTN SectionInstance, IN OUT VOID **Buffer, IN OUT UINTN *BufferSize, OUT UINT32 *AuthenticationStatus)

Locates the requested section within a file and returns it in a buffer.

ReadSection() is used to retrieve a specific section from a file within a firmware volume. The section returned is determined using a depth-first, left-to-right search algorithm through all sections found in the specified file. The output buffer is specified by a double indirection of the Buffer parameter. The input value of Buffer is used to determine if the output buffer is caller allocated or is dynamically allocated by ReadSection(). If the input value of Buffer!=NULL, it indicates that the output buffer is caller allocated. In this case, the input value of *BufferSize indicates the size of the caller-allocated output buffer. If the output buffer is not large enough to contain the entire requested output, it is filled up to the point that the output buffer is exhausted and EFI_WARN_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL is returned, and then BufferSize is returned with the size that is required to successfully complete the read. All other output parameters are returned with valid values. If the input value of *Buffer==NULL, it indicates the output buffer is to be allocated by ReadSection(). In this case, ReadSection() will allocate an appropriately sized buffer from boot services pool memory, which will be returned in *Buffer. The size of the new buffer is returned in *BufferSize and all other output parameters are returned with valid values. ReadSection() is callable only from TPL_NOTIFY and below. Behavior of ReadSection() at any EFI_TPL above TPL_NOTIFY is undefined.

Parameters
ThisIndicates the EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME2_PROTOCOL instance.
NameGuidPointer to an EFI_GUID, which indicates the file name from which the requested section will be read.
SectionTypeIndicates the section type to return. SectionType in conjunction with SectionInstance indicates which section to return.
SectionInstanceIndicates which instance of sections with a type of SectionType to return. SectionType in conjunction with SectionInstance indicates which section to return. SectionInstance is zero based.
BufferPointer to a pointer to a buffer in which the section contents are returned, not including the section header.
BufferSizePointer to a caller-allocated UINTN. It indicates the size of the memory represented by Buffer.
AuthenticationStatusPointer to a caller-allocated UINT32 in which the authentication status is returned.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe call completed successfully.
EFI_WARN_BUFFER_TOO_SMALLThe caller-allocated buffer is too small to contain the requested output. The buffer is filled and the output is truncated.
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCESAn allocation failure occurred.
EFI_NOT_FOUNDThe requested file was not found in the firmware volume. EFI_NOT_FOUND The requested section was not found in the specified file.
EFI_DEVICE_ERRORA hardware error occurred when attempting to access the firmware volume.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIEDThe firmware volume is configured to disallow reads. EFI_PROTOCOL_ERROR The requested section was not found, but the file could not be fully parsed because a required GUIDED_SECTION_EXTRACTION_PROTOCOL was not found. It is possible the requested section exists within the file and could be successfully extracted once the required GUIDED_SECTION_EXTRACTION_PROTOCOL is published.

◆ EFI_FV_SET_ATTRIBUTES

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_FV_SET_ATTRIBUTES) (IN CONST EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME2_PROTOCOL *This, IN OUT EFI_FV_ATTRIBUTES *FvAttributes)

Modifies the current settings of the firmware volume according to the input parameter.

The SetVolumeAttributes() function is used to set configurable firmware volume attributes. Only EFI_FV_READ_STATUS, EFI_FV_WRITE_STATUS, and EFI_FV_LOCK_STATUS may be modified, and then only in accordance with the declared capabilities. All other bits of FvAttributes are ignored on input. On successful return, all bits of *FvAttributes are valid and it contains the completed EFI_FV_ATTRIBUTES for the volume. To modify an attribute, the corresponding status bit in the EFI_FV_ATTRIBUTES is set to the desired value on input. The EFI_FV_LOCK_STATUS bit does not affect the ability to read or write the firmware volume. Rather, once the EFI_FV_LOCK_STATUS bit is set, it prevents further modification to all the attribute bits. SetVolumeAttributes() is callable only from TPL_NOTIFY and below. Behavior of SetVolumeAttributes() at any EFI_TPL above TPL_NOTIFY is undefined.

Parameters
ThisIndicates the EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME2_PROTOCOL instance.
FvAttributesOn input, FvAttributes is a pointer to an EFI_FV_ATTRIBUTES containing the desired firmware volume settings. On successful return, it contains the new settings of the firmware volume. On unsuccessful return, FvAttributes is not modified and the firmware volume settings are not changed.
Return values
EFI_SUCCESSThe requested firmware volume attributes were set and the resulting EFI_FV_ATTRIBUTES is returned in FvAttributes.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERFvAttributes:EFI_FV_READ_STATUS is set to 1 on input, but the device does not support enabling reads (FvAttributes:EFI_FV_READ_ENABLE is clear on return from GetVolumeAttributes()). Actual volume attributes are unchanged.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERFvAttributes:EFI_FV_READ_STATUS is cleared to 0 on input, but the device does not support disabling reads (FvAttributes:EFI_FV_READ_DISABL is clear on return from GetVolumeAttributes()). Actual volume attributes are unchanged.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERFvAttributes:EFI_FV_WRITE_STATUS is set to 1 on input, but the device does not support enabling writes (FvAttributes:EFI_FV_WRITE_ENABL is clear on return from GetVolumeAttributes()). Actual volume attributes are unchanged.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERFvAttributes:EFI_FV_WRITE_STATUS is cleared to 0 on input, but the device does not support disabling writes (FvAttributes:EFI_FV_WRITE_DISAB is clear on return from GetVolumeAttributes()). Actual volume attributes are unchanged.
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETERFvAttributes:EFI_FV_LOCK_STATUS is set on input, but the device does not support locking (FvAttributes:EFI_FV_LOCK_CAP is clear on return from GetVolumeAttributes()). Actual volume attributes are unchanged.
EFI_ACCESS_DENIEDDevice is locked and does not allow attribute modification (FvAttributes:EFI_FV_LOCK_STATUS is set on return from GetVolumeAttributes()). Actual volume attributes are unchanged.

◆ EFI_FV_WRITE_FILE

typedef EFI_STATUS(EFIAPI * EFI_FV_WRITE_FILE) (IN CONST EFI_FIRMWARE_VOLUME2_PROTOCOL *This, IN UINT32 NumberOfFiles, IN EFI_FV_WRITE_POLICY WritePolicy, IN EFI_FV_WRITE_FILE_DATA *FileData)

Locates the requested section within a file and returns it in a buffer.

WriteFile() is used to write one or more files to a firmware volume. Each file to be written is described by an EFI_FV_WRITE_FILE_DATA structure. The caller must ensure that any required alignment for all files listed in the FileData array is compatible with the firmware volume. Firmware volume capabilities can be determined using the GetVolumeAttributes() call. Similarly, if the WritePolicy is set to EFI_FV_RELIABLE_WRITE, the caller must check the firmware volume capabilities to ensure EFI_FV_RELIABLE_WRITE is supported by the firmware volume. EFI_FV_UNRELIABLE_WRITE must always be supported. Writing a file with a size of zero (FileData[n].BufferSize == 0) deletes the file from the firmware volume if it exists. Deleting a file must be done one at a time. Deleting a file as part of a multiple file write is not allowed. Platform Initialization Specification VOLUME 3 Shared Architectural Elements 84 August 21, 2006 Version 1.0 WriteFile() is callable only from TPL_NOTIFY and below. Behavior of WriteFile() at any EFI_TPL above TPL_NOTIFY is undefined.
