Hi Karunakar
Thanks for the patient.
I think my concern is universal, no matter it is after user input the key or not.
The clear-screen behavior is a *change*. And it may break the compatibility.
Unless all BIOS consumer in EDKII community agree the behavior, the risk is always there.
To move forward, I would like to hear the feedback from other OEM/ODM/IBV, who is consuming DxeTcg2PhysicalPresenceLib.
Thank you
Yao, Jiewen

Hi @Yao, Jiewen<mailto:jiewen.yao at intel.com>,
The proposed solution to clear screen will be called only when user has to provide the input key. This call will not execute in other conditions.
When there is a pending request in Tcg2, system will wait until user press input key. If there is no proper UI to customer, they feel it's system hang and go for customer support.
Even BIOS vendors also won't come to what is happening at customer box without any user information.
This is generic issue and not specific to any platform.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

My concern is that you unconditionally clear the screen. What if someone did want to show something on the screen?
This seems an incompatible change. That is why I think it should be a platform policy.
Another way is that you may consider to duplicate the library for your platform and clear it for your platform.
Thank you

Hi @Yao, Jiewen<mailto:jiewen.yao at intel.com>,
Thanks for your review and feedback.
When there is a pending Tcg request, the control will be in Tcg2 library and it will not reach to BDS until user press the input key.
As there is no information the screen because of screen is blocked by some other messages/Logo.
So user won't able to press the key without any user information and control will not reach to BDS phase.
As TCG user confirmation is the highest priority and it blocks the POST until the user presses the input key. Before TCG messages Print on the console, there should be logic added to clear the graphics screen
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thanks & Regards

Hello
I agree with you on the problem statement.
But I don't think this is a desired solution.
We expect Platform BDS to call the PhysicalPresenceLib. As such, why not clear the screen in the platform BDS?
Thank you

Subject: [PATCH] Patch - Enhance Tcg2 to clear graphics before printing the
messages on screen
[Background]
Tcg2UserConfirm() Function is used to display any user conformation messages on the console
Function Definition Full path - SecurityPkg\Library\DxeTcg2PhysicalPresenceLib\DxeTcg2PhysicalPresenceLib.c
[Issue]
In the current Tcg2UserConfirm() implementation, This function forms a destination string to be displayed on the console and directly Print the message on Console.
But there is no logic added to clear the graphics before printing the messages on the screen.
There are some scenarios where Tcg messages might have been blocked by some other GUI or messages on Console.
1. When there are some messages or logos already displayed in the content on the console,
TCG message will NOT be displayed or corrupted to the End user.
2. There could be a Custom logo displaying on the screen which actually blocks the screen.
[Solution]
1. As TCG user confirmation is the highest priority and it blocks the POST until the user
presses the input key. Before TCG messages Print on the console, there should be logic
added to clear the graphics screen
