Enough implementation of the following protocols to run Shell.efi and SCT.efi:
EfiHiiConfigRoutingProtocolGuid EfiHiiDatabaseProtocol EfiHiiStringProtocol
The i386 Shell.efi also tries to open these before failing:
EfiHiiFontProtocol EfiHiiImageProtocol
That sounds like a bug. The UEFI spec only mandates the following in section 2.6.2:
2. If a platform includes a configuration infrastructure, then the EFI_HII_DATABASE_PROTOCOL, EFI_HII_STRING_PROTOCOL, EFI_HII_CONFIG_ROUTING_PROTOCOL, and EFI_HII_CONFIG_ACCESS_PROTOCOL are required. If you support bitmapped fonts, you must support EFI_HII_FONT_PROTOCOL.
Well, in my book the whole fact that the UEFI shell requires HII sounds like a bad design decision, but it should at least not require the font protocol :).
Also, I have built my own x86_64 shell.efi from latest edk2 git manually and that works fine (even in sandbox). Maybe that is only the minimal shell though? Their build system is still a bit of a mystery to me :).
