# This patch set contains only efishell-specific part of my original patch[1]. See also the other patch[2].
This patch set is a collection of patches to enhance efi user interfaces /commands. It will help improve user experience on efi boot and make it more usable *without* edk2's shell utility.
Let's see how it works: => efishell boot add 1 SHELL mmc 0:1 /Shell.efi "" => efishell boot add 2 HELLO mmc 0:1 /hello.efi "" => efishell boot dump Boot0001: attributes: A-- (0x00000001) label: SHELL file_path: /VenHw(e61d73b9-a384-4acc-aeab-82e828f3628b)/SD(0)/SD(0)/HD(1,MBR,0x086246ba,0x800,0x40000)/\Shell.efi data: Boot0002: attributes: A-- (0x00000001) label: HELLO file_path: /VenHw(e61d73b9-a384-4acc-aeab-82e828f3628b)/SD(0)/SD(0)/HD(1,MBR,0x086246ba,0x800,0x40000)/\hello.efi data:
=> efishell boot order 1 2 => efishell boot order 1: Boot0001: SHELL 2: Boot0002: HELLO
=> run -e Boot0002 (or bootefi bootmgr - 2) ; '-' means no dtb specified WARNING: booting without device tree Booting: HELLO ## Starting EFI application at 000000007db8b040 ... Hello, world! ## Application terminated, r = 0
=> env set -e PlatformLang en ; important! (or you can do "efishell setvar PlatformLang en") => env print -e Boot0001: {boot,run}(blob) 00000000: 01 00 00 00 68 00 53 00 ....h.S. 00000010: 48 00 45 00 4c 00 4c 00 H.E.L.L. 00000020: 00 00 01 04 14 00 b9 73 .......s 00000030: 1d e6 84 a3 cc 4a ae ab .....J.. 00000040: 82 e8 28 f3 62 8b 03 1a ..(.b... 00000050: 05 00 00 03 1a 05 00 00 ........ 00000060: 04 01 2a 00 01 00 00 00 ..*..... 00000070: 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........ 00000080: 00 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 ........ 00000090: ba 46 62 08 00 00 00 00 .Fb..... 000000a0: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........ 000000b0: 01 01 04 04 1c 00 5c 00 ....... 000000c0: 5c 00 53 00 68 00 65 00 .S.h.e. 000000d0: 6c 00 6c 00 2e 00 65 00 l.l...e. 000000e0: 66 00 69 00 00 00 7f ff f.i.... 000000f0: 04 00 00 ...

=> run -e Boot0001 or bootefi bootmgr
(shell ...)
"setvar" command now supports efi shell-like syntax:
=> env set -e foo =S"akashi" =0x012345 =Habcdef => env print -e foo foo: {boot,run}(blob) 00000000: 61 6b 61 73 68 69 45 23 akashiE# 00000010: 01 00 ab cd ef .....
Other useful sub commands are: => efishell devices ; print uefi devices => efishell drivers ; print uefi drivers => efishell images ; print loaded images => efishell dh ; print uefi handles => efishell memmap ; dump uefi memory map
# I admit there is some room to improve the output from those commands.
