[edk2-devel] [edk2-platforms] [PATCH v5 3/4] MinPlatformPkg: Add LargeVariableReadLib

Wed Apr 7 19:17:07 UTC 2021


LargeVariableReadLib is used to retrieve large data sets using
the UEFI Variable Services. At time of writting, most UEFI
Variable Services implementations to not allow more than 64KB
of data to be stored in a single UEFI variable. This library
will split data sets across multiple variables as needed.

It adds the GetLargeVariable() API to provide this service.

The primary use for this library is to create binary compatible
drivers and OpROMs which need to work both with TianoCore and
other UEFI PI implementations. When customizing and recompiling
the platform firmware image is possible, adjusting the value of
PcdMaxVariableSize may provide a simpler solution to this
problem.
