Variable Write Architectural Protocol as defined in PI Specification VOLUME 2 DXE
|
|
|
|
This provides the services required to set nonvolatile environment variables.
|
|
This protocol must be produced by a runtime DXE driver and may be consumed only
|
|
by the DXE Foundation.
|
|
|
|
The DXE driver that produces this protocol must be a runtime driver. This driver
|
|
may update the SetVariable() field of the UEFI Runtime Services Table.
|
|
|
|
After the UEFI Runtime Services Table has been initialized, the driver must
|
|
install the EFI_VARIABLE_WRITE_ARCH_PROTOCOL_GUID on a new handle with a NULL
|
|
interface pointer. The installation of this protocol informs the DXE Foundation
|
|
that the write services for nonvolatile environment variables are now available
|
|
and that the DXE Foundation must update the 32-bit CRC of the UEFI Runtime Services
|
|
Table. The full complement of environment variable services are not available
|
|
until both this protocol and EFI_VARIABLE_ARCH_PROTOCOL are installed. DXE drivers
|
|
that require read-only access or read/write access to volatile environment variables
|
|
must have the EFI_VARIABLE_WRITE_ARCH_PROTOCOL in their dependency expressions.
|
|
DXE drivers that require write access to nonvolatile environment variables must
|
|
have this architectural protocol in their dependency expressions.
