Update Notes

1. PEIM DebugServicePei and library instance PeiDebugLibDebugPpi are added to save the PEIM Debug Image size. This can be enabled in platform DSC/FDF. Platform DSC is changed to include DebugServicePei and update DebugLib library instance.

[LibraryClasses.Common.PEIM]
  DebugLib|MdeModulePkg/Library/PeiDebugLibDebugPpi/PeiDebugLibDebugPpi.inf

[Components]
  MdeModulePkg/Universal/DebugServicePei/DebugServicePei.inf {
    <LibraryClasses>
      DebugLib|MdeModulePkg/Library/PeiDxeDebugLibReportStatusCode/PeiDxeDebugLibReportStatusCode.inf
  }

Platform FDF also needs to be changed to include DebugServicePei and place it into apriori list.

[FV.PEIFV]
APRIORI PEI {
  INF  MdeModulePkg/Universal/DebugServicePei/DebugServicePei.inf
  }
INF  MdeModulePkg/Universal/DebugServicePei/DebugServicePei.inf

2. ShellBinPkg has been removed. Platform DSC/FDF need to use the ShellPkg directly. Add shell application in platform fdf file:

INF  ShellPkg/Application/Shell/Shell.inf

Add shell application in platform dsc file:

ShellPkg/Application/Shell/Shell.inf {
    <PcdsFixedAtBuild>
      gEfiShellPkgTokenSpaceGuid.PcdShellLibAutoInitialize|FALSE
    <LibraryClasses>
      NULL|ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellLevel2CommandsLib/UefiShellLevel2CommandsLib.inf
      NULL|ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellLevel1CommandsLib/UefiShellLevel1CommandsLib.inf
      NULL|ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellLevel3CommandsLib/UefiShellLevel3CommandsLib.inf
      NULL|ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellDriver1CommandsLib/UefiShellDriver1CommandsLib.inf
      NULL|ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellInstall1CommandsLib/UefiShellInstall1CommandsLib.inf
      NULL|ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellDebug1CommandsLib/UefiShellDebug1CommandsLib.inf
      NULL|ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellNetwork1CommandsLib/UefiShellNetwork1CommandsLib.inf
      NULL|ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellNetwork2CommandsLib/UefiShellNetwork2CommandsLib.inf
      ShellLib|ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellLib/UefiShellLib.inf
      ShellCommandLib|ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellCommandLib/UefiShellCommandLib.inf
      HandleParsingLib|ShellPkg/Library/UefiHandleParsingLib/UefiHandleParsingLib.inf
      BcfgCommandLib|ShellPkg/Library/UefiShellBcfgCommandLib/UefiShellBcfgCommandLib.inf
      FileHandleLib|MdePkg/Library/UefiFileHandleLib/UefiFileHandleLib.inf
      SortLib|MdeModulePkg/Library/UefiSortLib/UefiSortLib.inf
  }

Note: If platform doesn’t have shell boot option after updating to use ShellPkg, please check platform code logic of registering shell boot option, make sure it use the correct UEFI Shell file GUID as below. Shell file GUID: { 0x7C04A583, 0x9E3E, 0x4f1c, {0xAD, 0x65, 0xE0, 0x52, 0x68, 0xD0, 0xB4, 0xD1} }.

3. Remove IpSec driver and IpSecConfig application from NetworkPkg. Platform DSC/FDF should remove them.

NetworkPkg/Application/IpsecConfig/IpSecConfig.inf
NetworkPkg/IpSecDxe/IpSecDxe.inf
