Details about a particular pipeline change over time - such as the specific Linux distro or toolchain version. At the same time, the pipeline files are directly referenced in Azure Pipelines to run the pipeline and few users have access to change those details. To make the files less likely to refer to outdated information over time and reduce the need for an Azure Pipeline administrator to get involved, the files are updated to drop specific details apart from the host OS environment used in the pipeline.

Overview
EmulatorPkg provides an environment where a UEFI environment can be emulated under an environment where a full UEFI compatible environment is not possible. (For example, running under an OS where an OS process hosts the UEFI emulation environment.)

How to Build & Run
You can use the following command to build.
-
32bit emulator in Windows:
build -p EmulatorPkg\EmulatorPkg.dsc -t VS2022 -a IA32 -
64bit emulator in Windows:
build -p EmulatorPkg\EmulatorPkg.dsc -t VS2022 -a X64 -
32bit emulator in Linux:
build -p EmulatorPkg\EmulatorPkg.dsc -t GCC5 -a IA32 -
64bit emulator in Linux:
build -p EmulatorPkg\EmulatorPkg.dsc -t GCC5 -a X64
You can start/run the emulator using the following command:
-
32bit emulator in Windows:
cd Build\EmulatorIA32\DEBUG_VS2022\IA32\ && WinHost.exe -
64bit emulator in Windows:
cd Build\EmulatorX64\DEBUG_VS2022\X64\ && WinHost.exe -
32bit emulator in Linux:
cd Build/EmulatorIA32/DEBUG_GCC5/IA32/ && ./Host -
64bit emulator in Linux:
cd Build/EmulatorX64/DEBUG_GCC5/X64/ && ./Host
On posix-like environment with the bash shell you can use EmulatorPkg/build.sh to simplify building and running emulator.
For example, to build + run:
$ EmulatorPkg/build.sh
$ EmulatorPkg/build.sh run
The build architecture will match your host machine's architecture.
On X64 host machines, you can build + run IA32 mode as well:
$ EmulatorPkg/build.sh -a IA32
$ EmulatorPkg/build.sh -a IA32 run
