Hi,

I have built Debug/Release BIOS from the opensource (Tianocore) for
UPXTREME WHL-01 board.
I have built for whiskey lake package it has been built successfully. The
generated file was UPXTREME.fd. If I flash this UPXTREME.fd file board gets
hung. So I'm stuck which file to be flashed. I didn't find any procedure to
flash.
Please help in finding the correct file to flash on Target.
Followed below commands for build from the below link;
https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms/tree/master/Platform/Intel

From the readme it looks like an IFWI file should be generated that can be flashed through a f/w update tool.

The .fd file is for flashing using a Dediprog programmer or similar:


The full Intel firmware image on a flash device is called the Integrated Firmware Image (IFWI). Users with access to the Intel proprietary FITC tool and ME ingredients can build full IFWI images that may be flashed (Descriptor, UEFI FW, ME FW, etc.).

Users without such access can directly flash a custom built UEFI FW image over the highest area of the flash region directly. It is always recommended to have a hardware flash programmer accessible to recover the firmware image. The original full flash image should always be backed up so it may be flashed again for recovery. Please be aware that if a system supports a technology that authenticates the initial firmware boot image such as Boot Guard, it will fail to boot with a custom firmware image that is not signed properly.
