Building a Bootable USB drive with UEFI Shell (x64)¶

Format your media as FAT32
Create the following directory structure in the root of the new media
- /efi/boot
Download the UEFI Shell (Shell.efi) from the following link
- https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/UDK2018/ShellBinPkg/UefiShell/X64/Shell.efi
Rename the UEFI shell file to Bootx64.efi
Copy the UEFI shell (now Bootx64.efi) to the /efi/boot directory

Installing CHIPSEC¶

Extract the contents of __install__/UEFI/chipsec_py368_uefi_x64.zip to the USB drive, as appropriate.
- This will create a /efi/Tools directory with Python.efi and /efi/StdLib with subdirectories for dependencies.

Copy the contents of CHIPSEC to the USB drive.

The contents of your drive should look like follows:

-  fs0:
   -  efi
      -  boot
         -  bootx64.efi (optional)
      -  StdLib
         -  lib
            -  python36.8
               -  [lots of python files and directories]
      -  Tools
         -  Python.efi
   -  chipsec
      -  chipsec
         -  …
      -  chipsec_main.py
      -  chipsec_util.py
      -  …

Reboot to the USB drive (this will boot to UEFI shell).
- You may need to enable booting from USB in BIOS setup.
- You will need to disable UEFI Secure Boot to boot to the UEFI Shell.

Run CHIPSEC in UEFI Shell¶

fs0:

cd chipsec

python.efi chipsec_main.py or python.efi chipsec_util.py

Next follow steps in section “Basic Usage” of Running CHIPSEC

Building UEFI Python 3.6.8 (optional)¶

Start with Py368Readme.txt
- Latest EDK2, visit Tianocore EDK2 Github (Make sure to update submodules)
- Latest EDK2-LIBC, visit Tianocore EDK2-LIBC Github
- Follow setup steps described in the Py368Readme.txt
Make modifications as needed
- CPython / C file(s):
  - edk2module.c
- ASM file(s):
- INF file(s):
  - Python368.inf
Build and directory creation steps are covered in the Py368Readme.txt
- MSVS build tools are highly recommended
