unBIOSed IDE

THIS PROJECT IS NOT ACTIVE ANYMORE I'm not working with UEFI development anymore so I can't keep up with new developments on EDK. Feel free to fork this repo and let me know so that I can link to a version that's actively maintained here.

This project is an Eclipse environment that aims to provide a set of features on top of Eclipse CDT to ease the development of EDK2-based UEFI modules.

This is a work in progress, so feel free to suggest new features and let me know if you find any bugs while using it :)

A tour

Build instructions

Clone this project with the command git clone --recursive https://github.com/unbiosed-ide/unbiosed.git and run mvn verify. This will generate the plugin's update size as a ZIP file under releng/me.fmartins.unbiosed.update/target.

Plugin installation in Eclipse CDT Mars

Add the update site generated by the build as a local update site to your Eclipse CDT instance. This can be done by clicking in Help --> Install new software --> Add button --> Archive button and then selecting the ZIP file that contains the plugin update site. After that, select the new update site, check the unBIOSed Tools box and follow the dialog pages to install the plugin. After restarting Eclipse, the plugin features will become available in the IDE.

Known issues

• Sometimes, the source indexer doesn't immediately gets everything right for large projects(which means that autocomplete and syntax highlighting won't work, for instance). A quick fix around it is to rebuild the index by right-clicking the project and selecting Index --> Rebuild;

Current status

• Existing EDK2 Module project wizard:
  • Import .inf file;
  • Populate project sources in Project Explorer view;
  • Add include paths extracted from the .dec files referenced in the module's .inf file;
  • Add custom workspace path to the project wizard;
  • Add build steps to the new project;
• New EDK2 Module project wizard:
  • Initial setup page(Module name, module type, referenced packages(.dec), consumed library classes, protocols and GUIDs);
  • Platforms page(which .dsc files will included the new module);
  • New library class implementation page;
  • UEFI Driver settings page(driver type, depex, etc);
