Christine:

This is a good news. Thanks for your great work. With this change, FMMT
doesn’t depend on GenSec, GenFfs and GenFv C tool. Right? If yes, can those
logic be reused to replace GenSec, GenFfs and GenFv C tools?



Thanks

主题: [edk2-devel] RFC: Replace FMMT Tool from C to Python Version



Hi everyone,



I would like to propose the new FMMT Python tool, which is used to replace
the origin C version tool.

Currently the FMMT C tool is saved in edk2-staging repo, but its quality and
coding style can’t meet the Edk2 quality, which is hard to maintain
(Hard/Duplicate Code; Regression bugs; Restrict usage).

The new Python version keeps same functions with origin C version. It has
higher quality and better coding style, and it is much easier to extend new
functions and to maintain.



You can get the FMMT Python tool through below link.

If you are interested in that, pls have a try.

Looking forward to your feedback~



Thanks,

Christine (Yuwei)
