UefiToolsPkg

This is a Tiano Core (edk2) package with various goodies. The goal was to make the UEFI environment much more useful to system hackers. It may be a reduced environment, but there's no need for it to remain a crippled one. People make the analogy of UEFI being the 21st century equivalent of DOS, yet DOS was a vastly more useful environment than UEFI is today.

Hopefully, one day this will grow into a veritable distribution of software to be productive even without a "real OS" around.

Other tools around the Web.

Building

Assuming you have EDK2 (http://www.tianocore.org/edk2/) all configured and capable of producing builds for your target architecture:

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/andreiw/UefiToolsPkg.git
$ build -p UefiToolsPkg/UefiToolsPkg.dsc

To override architecture and/or toolchain:

$ build -p UefiToolsPkg/UefiToolsPkg.dsc -a PPC64
$ build -p UefiToolsPkg/UefiToolsPkg.dsc -a X64 -t GCC49
