UEFI BIOS之 NVRAM & Variable

NVRAM是一个特殊的FV，Setup选项的Variable都存放在NVRAM。

1.NVRAM 

包含：FV header,Variable data,guids（GUIDs will be stored at the highest address of NVRAM).

NVRAM signature is NVAR

2.Variable – a key and data pair to store information.

The information is passed in the PEI, DXE and runtime environment.

Variable Attributes

比较常见的三个属性是BS+RT+NV

BS:Boot Service

RT:Runtime Service

NV:Non Vocatile 注意：如果带有这个属性，可以在NVRAM中使用dumpstore 找到该Variable

如果只是在内存中前期使用，后期释放，不需要带NV属性

3.Service

1>GetVariable() – Returns the value of variable.

2>GetNextVariableName() – Enumerates the current variable names.

3>SetVariable() – Sets the value of a variable.

注意：

1. PEI phase only can use GetVariable().

2. DXE phase can use both GetVariable() and SetVariable().
