14. Protocols — PCI Bus Support¶
14.1. PCI Root Bridge I/O Support¶
This section and the following one (Section 14.2) describe the PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol. This protocol provides an I/O abstraction for a PCI Root Bridge that is produced by a PCI Host Bus Controller. A PCI Host Bus Controller is a hardware component that allows access to a group of PCI devices that share a common pool of PCI I/O and PCI Memory resources. This protocol is used by a PCI Bus Driver to perform PCI Memory, PCI I/O, and PCI Configuration cycles on a PCI Bus. It also provides services to perform different types of bus mastering DMA on a PCI bus. PCI device drivers will not directly use this protocol. Instead, they will use the I/O abstraction produced by the PCI Bus Driver. Only drivers that require direct access to the entire PCI bus should use this protocol. In particular, this chapter defines functions for managing PCI buses, although other bus types may be supported in a similar fashion as extensions to this specification.
All the services described in this chapter that generate PCI transactions follow the ordering rules defined in the PCI Specification. If the processor is performing a combination of PCI transactions and system memory transactions, then there is no guarantee that the system memory transactions will be strongly ordered with respect to the PCI transactions. If strong ordering is required, then processor-specific mechanisms may be required to guarantee strong ordering. Some 64-bit systems may require the use of memory fences to guarantee ordering.
14.1.1. PCI Root Bridge I/O Overview¶
The interfaces provided in the EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL are for performing basic operations to memory, I/O, and PCI configuration space. The system provides abstracted access to basic system resources to allow a driver to have a programmatic method to access these basic system resources.
The EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL allows for future innovation of the platform. It abstracts device-specific code from the system memory map. This allows system designers to make changes to the system memory map without impacting platform independent code that is consuming basic system resources.
A platform can be viewed as a set of processors and a set of core chipset components that may produce one or more host buses. Figure Host Bus Controllers shows a platform with n processors (CPUs in the figure), and a set of core chipset components that produce m host bridges.
Fig. 14.1 Host Bus Controllers¶
Simple systems with one PCI Host Bus Controller will contain a single instance of the EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL. More complex system may contain multiple instances of this protocol. It is important to note that there is no relationship between the number of chipset components in a platform and the number of EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL instances. This protocol abstracts access to a PCI Root Bridge from a software point of view, and it is attached to a device handle that represents a PCI Root Bridge. A PCI Root Bridge is a chipset component(s) that produces a physical PCI Bus. It is also the parent to a set of PCI devices that share common PCI I/O, PCI Memory, and PCI Prefetchable Memory regions. A PCI Host Bus Controller is composed of one or more PCI Root Bridges.
A PCI Host Bridge and PCI Root Bridge are different than a PCI Segment. A PCI Segment is a collection of up to 256 PCI busses that share the same PCI Configuration Space. Depending on the chipset, a single EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL may abstract a portion of a PCI Segment, or an entire PCI Segment. A PCI Host Bridge may produce one or more PCI Root Bridges. When a PCI Host Bridge produces multiple PCI Root Bridges, it is possible to have more than one PCI Segment.
PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol instances are either produced by the system firmware or by a UEFI driver. When a PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol is produced, it is placed on a device handle along with an EFI Device Path Protocol instance. The figure below (Device Handle for a PCI Root Bridge Controller) shows a sample device handle that includes an instance of the EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL and the EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL.
Section Section 14.2 describes the PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol in detail, and Section 14.2.19 describes how to build device paths for PCI Root Bridges. The EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL does not abstract access to the chipset-specific registers used to manage a PCI Root Bridge. This functionality is hidden within the system firmware or the driver that produces the handles that represent the PCI Root Bridges.
Fig. 14.2 Device Handle for a PCI Root Bridge Controller¶
14.1.2. Sample PCI Architectures¶
The PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol is designed to provide a software abstraction for a wide variety of PCI architectures including the ones described in this section. This section is not intended to be an exhaustive list of the PCI architectures that the PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol can support. Instead, it is intended to show the flexibility of this protocol to adapt to current and future platform designs.
See Desktop System with One PCI Root Bridge shows an example of a PCI Host Bus with one PCI Root Bridge. This PCI Root Bridge produces one PCI Local Bus that can contain PCI Devices on the motherboard and/or PCI slots. This would be typical of a desktop system. A higher end desktop system might contain a second PCI Root Bridge for AGP devices. The firmware for this platform would produce one instance of the PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol.
Fig. 14.3 Desktop System with One PCI Root Bridge¶
Figure Server System with Four PCI Root Bridges shows an example of a larger server with one PCI Host Bus and four PCI Root Bridges. The PCI devices attached to the PCI Root Bridges are all part of the same coherency domain. This means they share a common PCI I/O Space, a common PCI Memory Space, and a common PCI Prefetchable Memory Space. Each PCI Root Bridge produces one PCI Local Bus that can contain PCI Devices on the motherboard or PCI slots. The firmware for this platform would produce four instances of the PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol.
Fig. 14.4 Server System with Four PCI Root Bridges¶
The Figure Server System with Two PCI Segments , below, shows an example of a server with one PCI Host Bus and two PCI Root Bridges. Each of these PCI Root Bridges is a different PCI Segment which allows the system to have up to 512 PCI Buses. A single PCI Segment is limited to 256 PCI Buses. These two segments do not share the same PCI Configuration Space, but they do share the same PCI I/O, PCI Memory, and PCI Prefetchable Memory Space. This is why it can be described by a single PCI Host Bus. The firmware for this platform would produce two instances of the PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol.
Fig. 14.5 Server System with Two PCI Segments¶
The Figure, Server System with Two PCI Host Buses , below, shows a server system with two PCI Host Buses and one PCI Root Bridge per PCI Host Bus. This system supports up to 512 PCI Buses, but the PCI I/O, PCI Memory Space, and PCI Prefetchable Memory Space are not shared between the two PCI Root Bridges. The firmware for this platform would produce two instances of the PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol.

Description
The EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL provides the basic Memory, I/O, PCI configuration, and DMA interfaces that are used to abstract accesses to PCI controllers. There is one EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL instance for each PCI root bridge in a system. Embedded systems, desktops, and workstations will typically only have one PCI root bridge. High-end servers may have multiple PCI root bridges. A device driver that wishes to manage a PCI bus in a system will have to retrieve the EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL instance that is associated with the PCI bus to be managed. A device handle for a PCI Root Bridge will minimally contain an EFI Device Path Protocol instance and an EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL instance. The PCI bus driver can look at the EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL instances to determine which EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL instance to use.
Bus mastering PCI controllers can use the DMA services for DMA operations. There are three basic types of bus mastering DMA that is supported by this protocol. These are DMA reads by a bus master, DMA writes by a bus master, and common buffer DMA. The DMA read and write operations may need to be broken into smaller chunks. The caller of EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL.Map() must pay attention to the number of bytes that were mapped, and if required, loop until the entire buffer has been transferred. The following is a list of the different bus mastering DMA operations that are supported, and the sequence of EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL APIs that are used for each DMA operation type. See “Related Definitions” above for the definition of the different DMA operation types.
DMA Bus Master Read Operation
Call EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL.Map() for EfiPciOperationBusMasterRead or EfiPciOperationBusMasterRead64.
Program the DMA Bus Master with the DeviceAddress returned by Map().
Start the DMA Bus Master.
Wait for DMA Bus Master to complete the read operation.
DMA Bus Master Write Operation
Call EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL.Map() for EfiPciOperationBusMasterWrite or EfiPciOperationBusMasterRead64.
Program the DMA Bus Master with the DeviceAddress returned by EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL.Map()
Start the DMA Bus Master.
Wait for DMA Bus Master to complete the write operation.
Perform a PCI controller specific read transaction to flush all PCI write buffers (See PCI Specification Section 3.2.5.2).
Call Unmap.
DMA Bus Master Common Buffer Operation
Call EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL.AllocateBuffer() to allocate a common buffer.
Call Map() for EfiPciOperationBusMasterCommonBuffer or EfiPciOperationBusMasterCommonBuffer64.
Program the DMA Bus Master with the DeviceAddress returned by EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL.Map() .
The common buffer can now be accessed equally by the processor and the DMA bus master.
Call Unmap().

Description
This function provides a standard way to poll a PCI memory location. A PCI memory read operation is performed at the PCI memory address specified by Address for the width specified by Width. The result of this PCI memory read operation is stored in Result. This PCI memory read operation is repeated until either a timeout of Delay 100 ns units has expired, or ( Result & Mask) is equal to Value.
This function will always perform at least one PCI memory read access no matter how small Delay may be. If Delay is zero, then Result will be returned with a status of EFI_SUCCESS even if Result does not match the exit criteria. If Delay expires, then EFI_TIMEOUT is returned.
If Width is not EfiPciWidthUint8 , EfiPciWidthUint16 , EfiPciWidthUint32 , or EfiPciWidthUint64 , then EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned.
The memory operations are carried out exactly as requested. The caller is responsible for satisfying any alignment and memory width restrictions that a PCI Root Bridge on a platform might require. For example on some platforms, width requests of EfiPciWidthUint64 are not supported.
All the PCI transactions generated by this function are guaranteed to be completed before this function returns. However, if the memory mapped I/O region being accessed by this function has the EFI_PCI_ATTRIBUTE_MEMORY_CACHED attribute set, then the transactions will follow the ordering rules defined by the processor architecture.

);
Parameters
- This
A pointer to the EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL. Type EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL is defined in PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol .
- Width
Signifies the width of the memory operation. Type EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL_WIDTH see Related Definitions in the section PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol .
- DestAddress
The destination address of the memory operation. The caller is responsible for aligning the DestAddress if required.
- SrcAddress
The source address of the memory operation. The caller is responsible for aligning the SrcAddress if required.
- Count
The number of memory operations to perform. Bytes moved is Width size * Count, starting at DestAddress and SrcAddress.
Description
The CopyMem() function enables a PCI driver to copy one region of PCI root bridge memory space to another region of PCI root bridge memory space. This is especially useful for video scroll operation on a memory mapped video buffer.
The memory operations are carried out exactly as requested. The caller is responsible for satisfying any alignment and memory width restrictions that a PCI root bridge on a platform might require. For example on some platforms, width requests of EfiPciWidthUint64 do not work.
If Width is EfiPciIoWidthUint8 , EfiPciIoWidthUint16 , EfiPciIoWidthUint32 , or EfiPciIoWidthUint64 , then Count read/write transactions are performed to move the contents of the SrcAddress buffer to the DestAddress buffer. The implementation must be reentrant, and it must handle overlapping SrcAddress and DestAddress buffers. This means that the implementation of CopyMem() must choose the correct direction of the copy operation based on the type of overlap that exists between the SrcAddress and DestAddress buffers. If either the SrcAddress buffer or the DestAddress buffer crosses the top of the processor’s address space, then the result of the copy operation is unpredictable.
The contents of the DestAddress buffer on exit from this service must match the contents of the SrcAddress buffer on entry to this service. Due to potential overlaps, the contents of the SrcAddress buffer may be modified by this service. The following rules can be used to guarantee the correct behavior:
If DestAddress > SrcAddress and DestAddress < ( SrcAddress + Width size * Count ), then the data should be copied from the SrcAddress buffer to the DestAddress buffer starting from the end of buffers and working toward the beginning of the buffers.
Otherwise, the data should be copied from the SrcAddress buffer to the DestAddress buffer starting from the beginning of the buffers and working toward the end of the buffers.
All the PCI transactions generated by this function are guaranteed to be completed before this function returns. All the PCI write transactions generated by this function will follow the write ordering and completion rules defined in the PCI Specification. However, if the memory-mapped I/O region being accessed by this function has the EFI_PCI_ATTRIBUTE_MEMORY_CACHED attribute set, then the transactions will follow the ordering rules defined by the processor architecture.
Status Codes Returned
EFI_SUCCESS |
The data was copied from one memory region to another memory region. |
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER |
Width is invalid for this PCI root bridge. |
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES |
The request could not be completed due to a lack of resources. |
14.2.11. EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL.Map()¶

IN OUT UINTN *NumberOfBytes,
OUT EFI_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS *DeviceAddress,
OUT VOID **Mapping
);
Parameters
- This
A pointer to the EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL. Type EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL is defined in PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol .
- Operation
Indicates if the bus master is going to read or write to system memory. Type EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL_OPERATION defined in Section PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol .
- HostAddress
The system memory address to map to the PCI controller.
- NumberOfBytes
On input the number of bytes to map. On output the number of bytes that were mapped.
- DeviceAddress
The resulting map address for the bus master PCI controller to use to access the system memory’s HostAddress. Type EFI_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS , defined in EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.AllocatePool(). This address cannot be used by the processor to access the contents of the buffer specified by HostAddress.
- Mapping
The value to pass to Unmap() when the bus master DMA operation is complete.
Description
The Map() function provides the PCI controller specific addresses needed to access system memory. This function is used to map system memory for PCI bus master DMA accesses.
All PCI bus master accesses must be performed through their mapped addresses and such mappings must be freed with EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL.Unmap() when complete. If the bus master access is a single read or single write data transfer, then EfiPciOperationBusMasterRead , EfiPciOperationBusMasterRead64 , EfiPciOperationBusMasterWrite , or EfiPciOperationBusMasterWrite64 is used and the range is unmapped to complete the operation. If performing an EfiPciOperationBusMasterRead or EfiPciOperationBusMasterRead64 operation, all the data must be present in system memory before Map() is performed. Similarly, if performing an EfiPciOperation-BusMasterWrite or EfiPciOperationBusMasterWrite64 the data cannot be properly accessed in system memory until Unmap() is performed.
Bus master operations that require both read and write access or require multiple host device interactions within the same mapped region must use EfiPciOperation-BusMasterCommonBuffer or EfiPciOperationBusMasterCommonBuffer64. However, only memory allocated via the EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL.AllocateBuffer() interface can be mapped for this type of operation.
In all mapping requests the resulting NumberOfBytes actually mapped may be less than the requested amount. In this case, the DMA operation will have to be broken up into smaller chunks. The Map() function will map as much of the DMA operation as it can at one time. The caller may have to loop on Map() and Unmap() in order to complete a large DMA transfer.
Status Codes Returned
EFI_SUCCESS |
The range was mapped for the returned NumberOfBytes. |
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER |
Operation is invalid. |
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER |

Parameters
- This
A pointer to the EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL . Type EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL is defined in Section PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol .
- Type
This parameter is not used and must be ignored.
- Memory
Type The type of memory to allocate, EfiBootServicesData or EfiRuntimeServicesData. Type EFI_MEMORY_TYPE is defined in EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.AllocatePages().
- Pages
The number of pages to allocate.
- HostAddress
A pointer to store the base system memory address of the allocated range.
- Attributes
The requested bit mask of attributes for the allocated range. Only the attributes EFI_PCI_ATTRIBUTE_MEMORY_WRITE_COMBINE , EFI_PCI_ATTRIBUTE_MEMORY_CACHED , and EFI_PCI_ATTRIBUTE_DUAL_ADDRESS_CYCLE may be used with this function. If any other bits are set, then EFI_UNSUPPORTED is returned. This function may choose to ignore this bit mask. The EFI_PCI_ATTRIBUTE_MEMORY_WRITE_COMBINE , and EFI_PCI_ATTRIBUTE_MEMORY_CACHED attributes provide a hint to the implementation that may improve the performance of the calling driver. The implementation may choose any default for the memory attributes including write combining, cached, both, or neither as long as the allocated buffer can be seen equally by both the processor and the PCI bus master.
Description
The AllocateBuffer() function allocates pages that are suitable for an EfiPciOperationBusMasterCommonBuffer or EfiPciOperationBusMasterCommonBuffer64 mapping. This means that the buffer allocated by this function must support simultaneous access by both the processor and a PCI Bus Master. The device address that the PCI Bus Master uses to access the buffer can be retrieved with a call to EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL.Map() .
If the EFI_PCI_ATTRIBUTE_DUAL_ADDRESS_CYCLE bit of Attributes is set, then when the buffer allocated by this function is mapped with a call to Map() , the device address that is returned by Map() must be within the 64-bit device address space of the PCI Bus Master.
If the EFI_PCI_ATTRIBUTE_DUAL_ADDRESS_CYCLE bit of Attributes is clear, then when the buffer allocated by this function is mapped with a call to Map() , the device address that is returned by Map() must be within the 32-bit device address space of the PCI Bus Master.
If the memory allocation specified by MemoryType and Pages cannot be satisfied, then EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES is returned.
Status Codes Returned
EFI_SUCCESS |
The requested memory pages were allocated. |
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER |
MemoryType is invalid. |
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER |
HostAddress is NULL. |
EFI_UNSUPPORTED |
Attributes is unsupported. The only legal attribute bits are
EFI_PCI_ATTRIBUTE_MEMORY_WRITE_COMBINE ,
EFI_PCI_ATTRIBUTE_MEMORY_CACHED , and
EFI_PCI_ATTRIBUTE_DUAL_ADDRESS_CYCLE.

Prototype
typedef
EFI_STATUS
(EFIAPI *EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL_FLUSH) (

);
Parameters
- This
A pointer to the EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL. Type EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL is defined in Section PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol .
Description
The Flush() function flushes any PCI posted write transactions from a PCI host bridge to system memory. Posted write transactions are generated by PCI bus masters when they perform write transactions to target addresses in system memory.
This function does not flush posted write transactions from any PCI bridges. A PCI controller specific action must be taken to guarantee that the posted write transactions have been flushed from the PCI controller and from all the PCI bridges into the PCI host bridge. This is typically done with a PCI read transaction from the PCI controller prior to calling Flush().
If the PCI controller specific action required to flush the PCI posted write transactions has been performed, and this function returns EFI_SUCCESS , then the PCI bus master’s view and the processor’s view of system memory are guaranteed to be coherent. If the PCI posted write transactions cannot be flushed from the PCI host bridge, then the PCI bus master and processor are not guaranteed to have a coherent view of system memory, and EFI_DEVICE_ERROR is returned.
Status Codes Returned
EFI_SUCCESS |
The PCI posted write transactions were flushed from the PCI host bridge to system memory. |
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR |
The PCI posted write transactions were not flushed from the PCI host bridge due to a hardware error. |

Parameters
- This
A pointer to the EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL. Type EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL is defined in Section PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol .
- Supports
A pointer to the mask of attributes that this PCI root bridge supports setting with SetAttributes(). The available attributes are listed in See PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol. This is an optional parameter that may be NULL.
- Attributes
A pointer to the mask of attributes that this PCI root bridge is currently using. The available attributes are listed in See PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol. This is an optional parameter that may be NULL.
Description
The GetAttributes() function returns the mask of attributes that this PCI root bridge supports and the mask of attributes that the PCI root bridge is currently using. If Supports is not NULL , then Supports is set to the mask of attributes that the PCI root bridge supports. If Attributes is not NULL , then Attributes is set to the mask of attributes that the PCI root bridge is currently using. If both Supports and Attributes are NULL , then EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned. Otherwise, EFI_SUCCESS is returned.
If a bit is set in Supports , then the PCI root bridge supports this attribute type, and a call can be made to SetAttributes() using that attribute type. If a bit is set in Attributes , then the PCI root bridge is currently using that attribute type. Since a PCI host bus may be composed of more than one PCI root bridge, different Attributes values may be returned by different PCI root bridges.
Status Codes Returned
EFI_SUCCESS |
If Supports is not NULL , then the attributes that the PCI root bridge supports is returned in Supports. If Attributes is not NULL , then the attributes that the PCI root bridge is currently using is returned in Attributes. |

IN OUT UINT64 *ResourceLength OPTIONAL
);
Parameters
- This
A pointer to the See EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL. Type EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL is defined in See PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol.
- Attributes
The mask of attributes to set. If the attribute bit MEMORY_WRITE_COMBINE, MEMORY_CACHED, or MEMORY_DISABLE is set, then the resource range is specified by ResourceBase and ResourceLength. If MEMORY_WRITE_COMBINE, MEMORY_CACHED, and MEMORY_DISABLE are not set, then ResourceBase and ResourceLength are ignored, and may be NULL. The available attributes are listed in See PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol.
- ResourceBase
A pointer to the base address of the resource range to be modified by the attributes specified by Attributes. On return, ResourceBase will be set the actual base address of the resource range. Not all resources can be set to a byte boundary, so the actual base address may differ from the one passed in by the caller. This parameter is only used if the MEMORY_WRITE_COMBINE bit, the MEMORY_CACHED bit, or the MEMORY_DISABLE bit of Attributes is set. Otherwise, it is ignored, and may be NULL.
- ResourceLength
A pointer to the length of the resource range to be modified by the attributes specified by Attributes. On return, ResourceLength will be set the actual length of the resource range. Not all resources can be set to a byte boundary, so the actual length may differ from the one passed in by the caller. This parameter is only used if the MEMORY_WRITE_COMBINE bit, the MEMORY_CACHED bit, or the MEMORY_DISABLE bit of Attributes is set. Otherwise, it is ignored, and may be **NULL*.
Description
The SetAttributes() function sets the attributes specified in Attributes for the PCI root bridge on the resource range specified by ResourceBase and ResourceLength. Since the granularity of setting these attributes may vary from resource type to resource type, and from platform to platform, the actual resource range and the one passed in by the caller may differ. As a result, this function may set the attributes specified by Attributes on a larger resource range than the caller requested. The actual range is returned in ResourceBase and ResourceLength. The caller is responsible for verifying that the actual range for which the attributes were set is acceptable.
If the attributes are set on the PCI root bridge, then the actual resource range is returned in ResourceBase and ResourceLength , and EFI_SUCCESS is returned.
If the attributes specified by Attributes are not supported by the PCI root bridge, then EFI_UNSUPPORTED is returned. The set of supported attributes for a PCI root bridge can be found by calling EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL.GetAttributes().
If either ResourceBase or ResourceLength are NULL , and a resource range is required for the attributes specified in Attributes , then EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned.
If more than one resource range is required for the set of attributes specified by Attributes , then EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned.
If there are not enough resources available to set the attributes, then EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES is returned.
Status Codes Returned
EFI_SUCCESS |
The set of attributes specified by Attributes for the resource range specified by ResourceBase and ResourceLength were set on the PCI root bridge, and the actual resource range is returned in ResuourceBase and ResourceLength. |
EFI_UNSUPPORTED |
A bit is set in Attributes that is not supported by the PCI Root Bridge. The supported attribute bits are reported by EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL.GetAttributes() |
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER |
More than one attribute bit is set in Attributes that requires a resource range. |
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER |
A resource range is required, and ResourceBase is NULL. |
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER |
A resource range is required, and ResourceLength is NULL. |
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES |
There are not enough resources to set the attributes on the resource range specified by BaseAddress and Length. |

Parameters
- This
A pointer to the EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL, which is defined in PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol.
- Resources
A pointer to the resource descriptors that describe the current configuration of this PCI root bridge. The storage for the resource descriptors is allocated by this function. The caller must treat the return buffer as read-only data, and the buffer must not be freed by the caller. See “Related Definitions” for the resource descriptors that may be used.
Related Definitions
There are only two resource descriptor types from the ACPI Specification that may be used to describe the current resources allocated to a PCI root bridge. These are the QWORD Address Space Descriptor, and the End Tag. The QWORD Address Space Descriptor can describe memory, I/O, and bus number ranges for dynamic or fixed resources. The configuration of a PCI root bridge is described in the Tables below with one or more QWORD Address Space Descriptors followed by an End Tag which contain these two descriptor types.
Please see the ACPI Specification for details on the field values. The definition of the Address Space Granularity field in the QWORD Address Space Descriptor differs from the ACPI Specification, and the definition in the table below is the one that must be used.

EFI_SUCCESS |
The current configuration of this PCI root bridge was returned in Resources. |
EFI_UNSUPPORTED |
The current configuration of this PCI root bridge could not be retrieved. |
14.2.19. PCI Root Bridge Device Paths¶
See EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL must be installed on a handle for its services to be available to drivers. In addition to the EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL , an EFI Device Path Protocol must also be installed on the same handle.
Typically, an ACPI Device Path Node is used to describe a PCI Root Bridge. Depending on the bus hierarchy in the system, additional device path nodes may precede this ACPI Device Path Node. A desktop system will typically contain only one PCI Root Bridge, so there would be one handle with a EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL and an EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL A server system may contain multiple PCI Root Bridges, so it would contain a handle for each PCI Root Bridge present, and on each of those handles would be an EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL and an EFI_DEVICE_PATH_PROTOCOL. In all cases, the contents of the ACPI Device Path Nodes for PCI Root Bridges must match the information present in the ACPI tables for that system.
Table below: PCI Root Bridge Device Path for a Desktop System shows an example device path for a PCI Root Bridge in a desktop system. Today, a desktop system typically contains one PCI Root Bridge. This device path consists of an ACPI Device Path Node, and a Device Path End Structure. The _HID and _UID must match the ACPI table description of the PCI Root Bridge. For a system with only one PCI Root Bridge, the _UID value is usually 0x0000. The shorthand notation for this device path is ACPI(PNP0A03,0).

14.3. PCI Driver Model¶
PCI Driver Model and EFI PCI I/O Protocol describe the PCI Driver Model. This includes the behavior of PCI Bus Drivers, the behavior of a PCI Device Drivers, and a detailed description of the PCI I/O Protocol. The PCI Bus Driver manages PCI buses present in a system, and PCI Device Drivers manage PCI controllers present on PCI buses. The PCI Device Drivers produce an I/O abstraction that can be used to boot an EFI compliant operating system.
This document provides enough material to implement a PCI Bus Driver, and the tools required to design and implement a PCI Device Drivers. It does not provide any information on specific PCI devices.
The material contained in this section is designed to extend this specification and the UEFI Driver Model in a way that supports PCI device drivers and PCI bus drivers. These extensions are provided in the form of PCI-specific protocols. This section provides the information required to implement a PCI Bus Driver in system firmware. The section also contains the information required by driver writers to design and implement PCI Device Drivers that a platform may need to boot a UEFI-compliant OS.
The PCI Driver Model described here is intended to be a foundation on which a PCI Bus Driver and a wide variety of PCI Device Drivers can be created.
14.3.1. PCI Driver Initialization¶
There are very few differences between a PCI Bus Driver and PCI Device Driver in the entry point of the driver. The file for a driver image must be loaded from some type of media. This could include ROM, FLASH, hard drives, floppy drives, CD-ROM, or even a network connection. Once a driver image has been found, it can be loaded into system memory with the Boot Service: EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.LoadImage(). LoadImage() loads a PE/COFF formatted image into system memory. A handle is created for the driver, and a Loaded Image Protocol instance is placed on that handle. A handle that contains a Loaded Image Protocol instance is called an Image Handle. At this point, the driver has not been started. It is just sitting in memory waiting to be started. The figure below shows the state of an image handle for a driver after LoadImage() has been called.
Fig. 14.7 Image Handle¶
After a driver has been loaded with the Boot Service EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.LoadImage(), it must be started with the Boot Service EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.StartImage(). This is true of all types of applications and drivers that can be loaded and started on an UEFI compliant system. The entry point for a driver that follows the UEFI Driver Model must follow some strict rules. First, it is not allowed to touch any hardware. Instead, it is only allowed to install protocol instances onto its own Image Handle. A driver that follows the UEFI Driver Model is required to install an instance of the Driver Binding Protocol onto its own Image Handle. It may optionally install the Driver Diagnostics Protocol or the Component Name Protocol. In addition, if a driver wishes to be unloadable it may optionally update the Loaded Image Protocol to provide its own Unload() EFI_LOADED_IMAGE_PROTOCOL.Unload() function. Finally, if a driver needs to perform any special operations when the Boot Service EFI_BOOT_SERVICES is called ( Services — Boot Services ), the driver may optionally create an event with a notification function that is triggered when the Boot Service ExitBootServices() is called. An Image Handle that contains a Driver Binding Protocol instance is known as a Driver Image Handle. The Figure below, PCI Driver Image Handle, shows a possible configuration for the Image Handle from figure: Image Handle after the Boot Service StartImage() has been called.
Fig. 14.8 PCI Driver Image Handle¶
14.3.2. Driver Diagnostics Protocol¶
If a PCI Bus Driver or a PCI Device Driver requires diagnostics, then an EFI_DRIVER_DIAGNOSTICS2_PROTOCOL must be installed on the image handle in the entry point for the driver. This protocol contains functions to perform diagnostics on a controller. The EFI_DRIVER_DIAGNOSTICS2_PROTOCOL is not allowed to interact with the user. Instead, it must return status information through a bffer. The functions of this protocol will be invoked by a platform management utility.
14.3.3. Component Name Protocol¶
Both a PCI Bus Driver and a PCI Device Driver are able to produce user readable names for the PCI drivers and/or the set of PCI controllers that the PCI drivers are managing. This is accomplished by installing an instance of the EFI_COMPONENT_NAME2_PROTOCOL on the image handle of the driver. This protocol can produce driver and controller names in the form of a string in one of several languages. This protocol can be used by a platform management utility to display user readable names for the drivers and controllers present in a system. Please see the EFI Driver Model Specification for details on the EFI_COMPONENT_NAME2_PROTOCOL.
14.3.4. Driver Family Override Protocol¶
If a PCI Bus Driver or PCI Device Driver always wants the PCI driver delivered in a PCI Option ROM to manage the PCI controller associated with the PCI Option ROM, then the Driver Family Override Protocol must not be produced.
If a PCI Bus Driver or PCI Device Driver always wants the PCI driver with the highest Version value in the Driver Binding Protocol to manage all the PCI Controllers in the same family of PCI controllers, then the Driver Family Override Protocol must be produced on the same handle as the Driver Binding Protocol.
14.3.5. PCI Bus Drivers¶
A PCI Bus Driver manages PCI Host Bus Controllers that can contain one or more PCI Root Bridges. PCI Host Bus Controller shows an example of a desktop system that has one PCI Host Bus Controller with one PCI Root Bridge.
Fig. 14.9 PCI Host Bus Controller¶
The PCI Host Bus Controller shown above is abstracted in software with the PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol. A PCI Bus Driver will manage handles that contain this protocol. Device Handle for a PCI Host Bus Controller shows an example device handle for a PCI Host Bus Controller. It contains a Device Path Protocol instance and a PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol Instance.
Fig. 14.10 Device Handle for a PCI Host Bus Controller¶
14.3.6. Driver Binding Protocol for PCI Bus Drivers¶
The Driver Binding Protocol contains three services. These are Supported() EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Supported() , EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Start(), and EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Stop(). Supported() tests to see if the PCI Bus Driver can manage a device handle. A PCI Bus Driver can only manage device handles that contain the Device Path Protocol and the PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol, so a PCI Bus Driver must look for these two protocols on the device handle that is being tested.
The Start() function tells the PCI Bus Driver to start managing a device handle. The device handle should support the protocols shown in Device Handle for a PCI Host Bus Controller. The PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocols provides access to the PCI I/O, PCI Memory, PCI Prefetchable Memory, and PCI DMA functions. The PCI Controllers behind a PCI Root Bridge may exist on one or more PCI Buses. The standard mechanism for expanding the number of PCI Buses on a single PCI Root Bridge is to use PCI to PCI Bridges. Once a PCI Enumerator configures these bridges, they are invisible to software. As a result, the PCI Bus Driver flattens the PCI Bus hierarchy when it starts managing a device handle that represents a PCI Host Controller. Physical PCI Bus Structure shows the physical tree structure for a set of PCI Device denoted by A, B, C, D, and E. Device A and C are PCI to PCI Bridges.
Fig. 14.11 Physical PCI Bus Structure¶
Connecting a PCI Bus Driver shows the tree structure generated by a PCI Bus Driver before and after Start() is called. This is a logical view of set of PCI controller, and not a physical view. The physical tree is flattened, so any PCI to PCI bridge devices are invisible. In this example, the PCI Bus Driver finds the five child PCI Controllers on the PCI Bus from Physical PCI Bus Structure. A device handle is created for every PCI Controller including all the PCI to PCI Bridges. The arrow with the dashed line coming into the PCI Host Bus Controller represents a link to the PCI Host Bus Controller’s parent. If the PCI Host Bus Controller is a Root Bus Controller, then it will not have a parent. The PCI Driver Model does not require that a PCI Host Bus Controller be a Root Bus Controller. A PCI Host Bus Controller can be present at any location in the tree, and the PCI Bus Driver should be able to manage the PCI Host Bus Controller.
Fig. 14.12 Connecting a PCI Bus Driver¶
The PCI Bus Driver has the option of creating all of its children in one call to EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Start() , or spreading it across several calls to Start(). In general, if it is possible to design a bus driver to create one child at a time, it should do so to support the rapid boot capability in the UEFI Driver Model. Each of the child device handles created in Start() must contain a Device Path Protocol instance, a PCI I/O protocol instance, and optionally a Bus Specific Driver Override Protocol instance. The PCI I/O Protocol is described in EFI PCI I/O Protocol. The format of device paths for PCI Controllers is described in Section 2.6, and details on the Bus Specific Driver Override Protocol can be found in the EFI Driver Model Specification. The Figure below shows an example child device handle that is created by a PCI Bus Driver for a PCI Controller.
Fig. 14.13 Child Handle Created by a PCI Bus Driver¶
A PCI Bus Driver must perform several steps to manage a PCI Host Bus Controller, as follows:
Initialize the PCI Host Bus Controller.
If the PCI buses have not been initialized by a previous agent, perform PCI Enumeration on all the PCI Root Bridges that the PCI Host Bus Controller contains. This involves assigning a PCI bus number, allocating PCI I/O resources, PCI Memory resources, and PCI Prefetchable Memory resources.
Discover all the PCI Controllers on all the PCI Root Bridges. If a PCI Controller is a PCI to PCI Bridge, then the I/O and Memory bits in the Control register of the PCI Configuration Header should be placed in the enabled state. The Bus Master bit in the Control Register may be enabled by default or enabled or disabled based on the needs of downstream devices for DMA access during the boot process. The PCI Bus Driver should disable the I/O, Memory, and Bus Master bits for PCI Controllers that respond to legacy ISA resources (e.g. VGA). It is a PCI Device Driver’s responsibility to enable the I/O, Memory, and Bus Master bits (if they are not already enabled by the PCI bus driver) of the Control register as required with a call to the EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL.Attributes() service when the PCI Device Driver is started. A similar call to the Attributes() service should be made when the PCI Device Driver is stopped to restore original Attributes() state, including the I/O, Memory, and Bus Master bits of the Control register.
Create a device handle for each PCI Controller found. If a request is being made to start only one PCI Controller, then only create one device handle.
Install a Device Path Protocol instance and a PCI I/O Protocol instance on the device handle created for each PCI Controller.
If the PCI Controller has a PCI Option ROM, then allocate a memory buffer that is the same size as the PCI Option ROM, and copy the PCI Option ROM contents to the memory buffer.
If the PCI Option ROM contains any UEFI drivers, then attach a Bus Specific Driver Override Protocol to the device handle of the PCI Controller that is associated with the PCI Option ROM.
The EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Stop() function tells the PCI Bus Driver to stop managing a PCI Host Bus Controller. The Stop() function can destroy one or more of the device handles that were created on a previous call to EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Start(). If all of the child device handles have been destroyed, then Stop() will place the PCI Host Bus Controller in a quiescent state. The functionality of Stop() mirrors Start() , as follows:
Complete all outstanding transactions to the PCIHost Bus Controller.
If the PCI Host Bus Controller is being stopped, then place it in a quiescent state.
If one or more child handles are being destroyed, then:
Uninstall all the protocols from the device handles for the PCI Controllers found in Start().
Free any memory buffers allocated for PCI Option ROMs.
Destroy the device handles for the PCI controllers created in Start().
14.3.7. PCI Enumeration¶
The PCI Enumeration process is a platform-specific operation that depends on the properties of the chipset that produces the PCI bus. As a result, details on PCI Enumeration are outside the scope of this document. A PCI Bus Driver requires that PCI Enumeration has been performed, so it either needs to have been done prior to the PCI Bus Driver starting, or it must be part of the PCI Bus Driver’s implementation.
14.3.8. PCI Device Drivers¶
PCI Device Drivers manage PCI Controllers. Device handles for PCI Controllers are created by PCI Bus Drivers. A PCI Device Driver is not allowed to create any new device handles. Instead, it attaches protocol instance to the device handle of the PCI Controller. These protocol instances are I/O abstractions that allow the PCI Controller to be used in the preboot environment. The most common I/O abstractions are used to boot an EFI compliant OS.
14.3.9. Driver Binding Protocol for PCI Device Drivers¶
The Driver Binding Protocol contains three services. These are EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Supported() , EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Start(), and EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Stop(). Supported() tests to see if the PCI Device Driver can manage a device handle. A PCI Device Driver can only manage device handles that contain the Device Path Protocol and the PCI I//O Protocol, so a PCI Device Driver must look for these two protocols on the device handle that is being tested. In addition, it needs to check to see if the device handle represents a PCI Controller that the PCI Device Driver knows how to manage. This is typically done by using the services of the PCI I/O Protocol to read the PCI Configuration Header for the PCI Controller, and looking at the VendorId , DeviceId , and SubsystemId fields.
The Start() function tells the PCI Device Driver to start managing a PCI Controller. A PCI Device Driver is not allowed to create any new device handles. Instead, it installs one or more addition protocol instances on the device handle for the PCI Controller. A PCI Device Driver is not allowed to modify the resources allocated to a PCI Controller. These resource allocations are owned by the PCI Bus Driver or some other firmware component that initialized the PCI Bus prior to the execution of the PCI Bus Driver. This means that the PCI BARs (Base Address Registers) and the configuration of any PCI to PCI bridge controllers must not be modified by a PCI Device Driver.A PCI Bus Driver will leave a PCI Device in a disabled safe initial state. A PCI Device Driver should save the original Attributes() state. It is a PCI Device Driver’s responsibility to call Attributes() to enable the I/O, Memory, and Bus Master decodes if they are not already enabled by the PCI bus driver.
The EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Stop() function mirrors the EFI_DRIVER_BINDING_PROTOCOL.Start() function, so the Stop() function completes any outstanding transactions to the PCI Controller and removes the protocol interfaces that were installed in Start(). The Figure below shows the device handle for a PCI Controller before and after Start() is called. In this example, a PCI Device Driver is adding the Block I/O Protocol to the device handle for the PCI Controller. It is also a PCI Device Driver’s responsibility to restore original Attributes() state, including the I/O, Memory, and Bus Master decodes by calling EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL.Attributes() .
Fig. 14.14 Connecting a PCI Device Driver¶
14.4. EFI PCI I/O Protocol¶
This section provides a detailed description of the EFI PCI I/O Protocol . This protocol is used by code, typically drivers, running in the EFI boot services environment to access memory and I/O on a PCI controller. In particular, functions for managing devices on PCI buses are defined here.
The interfaces provided in the EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL are for performing basic operations to memory, I/O, and PCI configuration space. The system provides abstracted access to basic system resources to allow a driver to have a programmatic method to access these basic system resources. The main goal of this protocol is to provide an abstraction that simplifies the writing of device drivers for PCI devices. This goal is accomplished by providing the following features:
A driver model that does not require the driver to search the PCI busses for devices to manage. Instead, drivers are provided the location of the device to manage or have the capability to be notified when a PCI controller is discovered.
A device driver model that abstracts the I/O addresses, Memory addresses, and PCI Configuration addresses from the PCI device driver. Instead, BAR (Base Address Register) relative addressing is used for I/O and Memory accesses, and device relative addressing is used for PCI Configuration accesses. The BAR relative addressing is specified in the PCI I/O services as a BAR index. A PCI controller may contain a combination of 32-bit and 64-bit BARs. The BAR index represents the logical BAR number in the standard PCI configuration header starting from the first BAR. The BAR index does not represent an offset into the standard PCI Configuration Header because those offsets will vary depending on the combination and order of 32-bit and 64-bit BARs.
The Device Path for the PCI device can be obtained from the same device handle that the EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL resides.
The PCI Segment, PCI Bus Number, PCI Device Number, and PCI Function Number of the PCI device if they are required. The general idea is to abstract these details away from the PCI device driver. However, if these details are required, then they are available.
Details on any nonstandard address decoding that is not covered by the PCI device’s Base Address Registers.
Access to the PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol for the PCI Host Bus for which the PCI device is a member.
A copy of the PCI Option ROM if it is present in system memory.
Functions to perform bus mastering DMA. This includes both packet based DMA and common buffer DMA.

Description
The EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL provides the basic Memory, I/O, PCI configuration, and DMA interfaces that are used to abstract accesses to PCI controllers. There is one EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL instance for each PCI controller on a PCI bus. A device driver that wishes to manage a PCI controller in a system will have to retrieve the EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL instance that is associated with the PCI controller. A device handle for a PCI controller will minimally contain an EFI Device Path Protocol instance and an EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL instance.
Bus mastering PCI controllers can use the DMA services for DMA operations. There are three basic types of bus mastering DMA that is supported by this protocol. These are DMA reads by a bus master, DMA writes by a bus master, and common buffer DMA. The DMA read and write operations may need to be broken into smaller chunks. The caller of EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL.Map() must pay attention to the number of bytes that were mapped, and if required, loop until the entire buffer has been transferred. The following is a list of the different bus mastering DMA operations that are supported, and the sequence of EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL interfaces that are used for each DMA operation type.
DMA Bus Master Read Operation
Call EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL.Map() for EfiPciIoOperationBusMasterRead.
Program the DMA Bus Master with the DeviceAddress returned by Map().
Start the DMA Bus Master.
Wait for DMA Bus Master to complete the read operation.
Call EFI-PCI-IO-PROTOCOL-Unmap().
DMA Bus Master Write Operation
Call Map() for EfiPciOperationBusMasterWrite.
Program the DMA Bus Master with the DeviceAddress returned by Map().
Start the DMA Bus Master.
Wait for DMA Bus Master to complete the write operation.
Perform a PCI controller specific read transaction to flush all PCI write buffers (See PCI Specification Section 3.2.5.2).
Call EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL.Flush() .
Call Unmap().
DMA Bus Master Common Buffer Operation
Call EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL.AllocateBuffer() . to allocate a common buffer.
Call Map() for EfiPciIoOperationBusMasterCommonBuffer.
Program the DMA Bus Master with the DeviceAddress returned by Map().
The common buffer can now be accessed equally by the processor and the DMA bus master.
Call Unmap().

Parameters
- This
A pointer to the EFI PCI I/O Protocol instance. Type EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL is defined in EFI PCI I/O Protocol.
- Width
Signifies the width of the memory operations, defined in EFI PCI I/O Protocol .
- BarIndex
The BAR index of the standard PCI Configuration header to use as the base address for the memory operation to perform. This allows all drivers to use BAR relative addressing. The legal range for this field is 0..5. However, the value EFI_PCI_IO_PASS_THROUGH_BAR can be used to bypass the BAR relative addressing and pass Offset to the PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol unchanged. Type EFI_PCI_IO_PASS_THROUGH_BAR is defined in EFI_PCI_IO_Protocol .
- Offset
The offset within the selected BAR to start the memory operation.
- Mask
Mask used for the polling criteria. Bytes above Width in Mask are ignored. The bits in the bytes below Width which are zero in Mask are ignored when polling the memory address.

The number of 100 ns units to poll. Note that timer available may be of poorer granularity.
- Result
Pointer to the last value read from the memory location.
Description
This function provides a standard way to poll a PCI memory location. A PCI memory read operation is performed at the PCI memory address specified by BarIndex and Offset for the width specified by Width. The result of this PCI memory read operation is stored in Result. This PCI memory read operation is repeated until either a timeout of Delay 100 ns units has expired, or ( Result & Mask) is equal to Value.
This function will always perform at least one memory access no matter how small Delay may be. If Delay is 0, then Result will be returned with a status of EFI_SUCCESS even if Result does not match the exit criteria. If Delay expires, then EFI_TIMEOUT is returned.
If Width is not EfiPciIoWidthUint8 , EfiPciIoWidthUint16 , EfiPciIoWidthUint32 , or EfiPciIoWidthUint64 , then EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned.
The memory operations are carried out exactly as requested. The caller is responsible for satisfying any alignment and memory width restrictions that a PCI controller on a platform might require. For example on some platforms, width requests of EfiPciIoWidthUint64 do not work.
All the PCI transactions generated by this function are guaranteed to be completed before this function returns. However, if the memory mapped I/O region being accessed by this function has the EFI_PCI_IO_ATTRIBUTE_MEMORY_CACHED attribute set, then the transactions will follow the ordering rules defined by the processor architecture.

Description
The Mem.Read() , and Mem.Write() functions enable a driver to access controller registers in the PCI memory space.
The I/O operations are carried out exactly as requested. The caller is responsible for any alignment and I/O width issues which the bus, device, platform, or type of I/O might require. For example on some platforms, width requests of EfiPciIoWidthUint64 do not work.
If Width is EfiPciIoWidthUint8 , EfiPciIoWidthUint16 , EfiPciIoWidthUint32 , or EfiPciIoWidthUint64 , then both Address and Buffer are incremented for each of the Count operations performed.
If Width is EfiPciIoWidthFifoUint8 , EfiPciIoWidthFifoUint16 , EfiPciIoWidthFifoUint32 , or EfiPciIoWidthFifoUint64 , then only Buffer is incremented for each of the Count operations performed. The read or write operation is performed Count times on the same Address.
If Width is EfiPciIoWidthFillUint8 , EfiPciIoWidthFillUint16 , EfiPciIoWidthFillUint32 , or EfiPciIoWidthFillUint64 , then only Address is incremented for each of the Count operations performed. The read or write operation is performed Count times from the first element of Buffer.
All the PCI transactions generated by this function are guaranteed to be completed before this function returns. All the PCI write transactions generated by this function will follow the write ordering and completion rules defined in the PCI Specification. However, if the memory-mapped I/O region being accessed by this function has the EFI_PCI_IO_ATTRIBUTE_MEMORY_CACHED attribute set, then the transactions will follow the ordering rules defined by the processor architecture.

The BAR index of the standard PCI Configuration header to use as the base address for the I/O operation to perform. This allows all drivers to use BAR relative addressing. The legal range for this field is 0..5. However, the value EFI_PCI_IO_PASS_THROUGH_BAR can be used to bypass the BAR relative addressing and pass Offset to the PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol unchanged. Type EFI_PCI_IO_PASS_THROUGH_BAR is defined in EFI_PCI_IO_Protocol .
- Offset
The offset within the selected BAR to start the I/O operation.
- Count
The number of I/O operations to perform. Bytes moved is Width size * Count, starting at Offset.

For read operations, the destination buffer to store the results. For write operations, the source buffer to write data from.
Description
The Io.Read() , and Io.Write() functions enable a driver to access PCI controller registers in PCI I/O space.
The I/O operations are carried out exactly as requested. The caller is responsible for any alignment and I/O width issues which the bus, device, platform, or type of I/O might require. For example on some platforms, width requests of EfiPciIoWidthUint64 do not work.
If Width is EfiPciIoWidthUint8 , EfiPciIoWidthUint16 , EfiPciIoWidthUint32 , or EfiPciIoWidthUint64 , then both Address and Buffer are incremented for each of the Count operations performed.
If Width is EfiPciIoWidthFifoUint8 , EfiPciIoWidthFifoUint16 , EfiPciIoWidthFifoUint32 , or EfiPciIoWidthFifoUint64 , then only Buffer is incremented for each of the Count operations performed. The read or write operation is performed Count times on the same Address.
If Width is EfiPciIoWidthFillUint8 , EfiPciIoWidthFillUint16 , EfiPciIoWidthFillUint32 , or EfiPciIoWidthFillUint64 , then only Address is incremented for each of the Count operations performed. The read or write operation is performed Count times from the first element of Buffer.

Parameters
- This
A pointer to the EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL instance. Type EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL is defined in EFI_PCI_IO_Protocol .
- Width
Signifies the width of the memory operations. Type EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL_WIDTH, defined in EFI PCI I/O Protocol .
- DestBarIndex
The BAR index of the standard PCI Configuration header to use as the base address for the memory operation to perform. This allows all drivers to use BAR relative addressing. The legal range for this field is 0..5. However, the value EFI_PCI_IO_PASS_THROUGH_BAR can be used to bypass the BAR relative addressing and pass Offset to the PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol unchanged. Type EFI_PCI_IO_PASS_THROUGH_BAR is defined in EFI_PCI_IO_Protocol .
- DestOffset
The destination offset within the BAR specified by DestBarIndex to start the memory writes for the copy operation. The caller is responsible for aligning the DestOffset if required.
- SrcBarIndex
The BAR index of the standard PCI Configuration header to use as the base address for the memory operation to perform. This allows all drivers to use BAR relative addressing. The legal range for this field is 0..5. However, the value EFI_PCI_IO_PASS_THROUGH_BAR can be used to bypass the BAR relative addressing and pass Offset to the PCI Root Bridge I/O Protocol unchanged. Type EFI_PCI_IO_PASS_THROUGH_BAR is defined in EFI_PCI_IO_Protocol .
- SrcOffset
The source offset within the BAR specified by SrcBarIndex to start the memory reads for the copy operation. The caller is responsible for aligning the SrcOffset if required.
- Count
The number of memory operations to perform. Bytes moved is Width size * Count, starting at DestOffset and SrcOffset.
Description
The CopyMem() function enables a PCI driver to copy one region of PCI memory space to another region of PCI memory space on a PCI controller. This is especially useful for video scroll operations on a memory mapped video buffer.
The memory operations are carried out exactly as requested. The caller is responsible for satisfying any alignment and memory width restrictions that a PCI controller on a platform might require. For example on some platforms, width requests of EfiPciIoWidthUint64 do not work.
If Width is EfiPciIoWidthUint8 , EfiPciIoWidthUint16 , EfiPciIoWidthUint32 , or EfiPciIoWidthUint64 , then Count read/write transactions are performed to move the contents of the SrcOffset buffer to the DestOffset buffer. The implementation must be reentrant, and it must handle overlapping SrcOffset and DestOffset buffers. This means that the implementation of CopyMem() must choose the correct direction of the copy operation based on the type of overlap that exists between the SrcOffset and DestOffset buffers. If either the SrcOffset buffer or the DestOffset buffer crosses the top of the processor’s address space, then the result of the copy operation is unpredictable.
The contents of the DestOffset buffer on exit from this service must match the contents of the SrcOffset buffer on entry to this service. Due to potential overlaps, the contents of the SrcOffset buffer may be modified by this service. The following rules can be used to guarantee the correct behavior:
If DestOffset > SrcOffset and DestOffset < ( SrcOffset + Width size * Count ), then the data should be copied from the SrcOffset buffer to the DestOffset buffer starting from the end of buffers and working toward the beginning of the buffers.
Otherwise, the data should be copied from the SrcOffset buffer to the DestOffset buffer starting from the beginning of the buffers and working toward the end of the buffers.
All the PCI transactions generated by this function are guaranteed to be completed before this function returns. All the PCI write transactions generated by this function will follow the write ordering and completion rules defined in the PCI Specification. However, if the memory-mapped I/O region being accessed by this function has the EFI_PCI_IO_ATTRIBUTE_MEMORY_CACHED attribute set, then the transactions will follow the ordering rules defined by the processor architecture.

Parameters
- This
A pointer to the EFI_PCI_ROOT_BRIDGE_IO_PROTOCOL instance. Type EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL is defined in See EFI PCI I/O Protocol.
- Operation
Indicates if the bus master is going to read or write to system memory. Type EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL_OPERATION is defined in See EFI PCI I/O Protocol.
- HostAddress
The system memory address to map to the PCI controller.
- NumberOfBytes
On input the number of bytes to map. On output the number of bytes that were mapped.
- DeviceAddress
The resulting map address for the bus master PCI controller to use to access the hosts HostAddress. Type EFI_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS is defined in EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.AllocatePool() . This address cannot be used by the processor to access the contents of the buffer specified by HostAddress.
- Mapping
A resulting value to pass to EFI-PCI-IO-PROTOCOL-Unmap() .
Description
The EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL.Map() function provides the PCI controller-specific addresses needed to access system memory. This function is used to map system memory for PCI bus master DMA accesses.
All PCI bus master accesses must be performed through their mapped addresses and such mappings must be freed with EFI-PCI-IO-PROTOCOL-Unmap() when complete. If the bus master access is a single read or write data transfer, then EfiPciIoOperationBusMasterRead or EfiPciIoOperation-BusMasterWrite is used and the range is unmapped to complete the operation. If performing an EfiPciIoOperationBusMasterRead operation, all the data must be present in system memory before the Map() is performed. Similarly, if performing an EfiPciIoOperation-BusMasterWrite, the data cannot be properly accessed in system memory until Unmap() is performed.
Bus master operations that require both read and write access or require multiple host device interactions within the same mapped region must use EfiPciIoOperation-BusMasterCommonBuffer. However, only memory allocated via the EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL.AllocateBuffer() interface can be mapped for this operation type.
In all mapping requests the resulting NumberOfBytes actually mapped may be less than the requested amount. In this case, the DMA operation will have to be broken up into smaller chunks. The Map() function will map as much of the DMA operation as it can at one time. The caller may have to loop on Map() and Unmap() in order to complete a large DMA transfer.
Status Codes Returned

Parameters
- This
A pointer to the See EFI PCI I/O Protocol instance. Type EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL is defined in EFI PCI I/O Protocol.
- Type
This parameter is not used and must be ignored.
- MemoryType
The type of memory to allocate, EfiBootServicesData or EfiRuntimeServicesData. Type EFI_MEMORY_TYPE is defined in EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL.AllocateBuffer() .
- Pages
The number of pages to allocate.
- HostAddress
A pointer to store the base system memory address of the allocated range.
- Attributes
The requested bit mask of attributes for the allocated range. Only the attributes EFI_PCI_IO_ATTRIBUTE_MEMORY_WRITE_COMBINE, and EFI_PCI_IO_ATTRIBUTE_MEMORY_CACHED may be used with this function. If any other bits are set, then EFI_UNSUPPORTED is returned. This function may choose to ignore this bit mask. The EFI_PCI_IO_ATTRIBUTE_MEMORY_WRITE_COMBINE, and EFI_PCI_IO_ATTRIBUTE_MEMORY_CACHED attributes provide a hint to the implementation that may improve the performance of the calling driver. The implementation may choose any default for the memory attributes including write combining, cached, both, or neither as long as the allocated buffer can be seen equally by both the processor and the PCI bus master.
Description
The AllocateBuffer() function allocates pages that are suitable for an EfiPciIoOperationBusMasterCommonBuffer mapping. This means that the buffer allocated by this function must support simultaneous access by both the processor and a PCI Bus Master. The device address that the PCI Bus Master uses to access the buffer can be retrieved with a call to EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL.Map().
If the current attributes of the PCI controller has the EFI_PCI_IO_ATTRIBUTE_DUAL_ADDRESS_CYCLE bit set, then when the buffer allocated by this function is mapped with a call to Map() , the device address that is returned by Map() must be within the 64-bit device address space of the PCI Bus Master. The attributes for a PCI controller can be managed by calling EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL.Attributes().
If the current attributes for the PCI controller has the EFI_PCI_IO_ATTRIBUTE_DUAL_ADDRESS_CYCLE bit clear, then when the buffer allocated by this function is mapped with a call to Map() , the device address that is returned by Map() must be within the 32-bit device address space of the PCI Bus Master. The attributes for a PCI controller can be managed by calling Attributes().
If the memory allocation specified by MemoryType and Pages cannot be satisfied, then EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES is returned.
Status Codes Returned
EFI_SUCCESS |
The requested memory pages were allocated. |
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER |
MemoryType is invalid. |
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER |
HostAddress is NULL. |
EFI_UNSUPPORTED |
Attributes is unsupported. The only legal attribute bits are MEMORY_WRITE_COMBINE and MEMORY_CACHED. |
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES |

IN EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL *This
);
Parameters
- This
A pointer to the EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL instance. Type EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL is defined in EFI PCI I/O Protocol.
Description
The Flush() function flushes any PCI posted write transactions from a PCI host bridge to system memory. Posted write transactions are generated by PCI bus masters when they perform write transactions to target addresses in system memory.
This function does not flush posted write transactions from any PCI bridges. A PCI controller specific action must be taken to guarantee that the posted write transactions have been flushed from the PCI controller and from all the PCI bridges into the PCI host bridge. This is typically done with a PCI read transaction from the PCI controller prior to calling Flush() .
If the PCI controller specific action required to flush the PCI posted write transactions has been performed, and this function returns EFI_SUCCESS , then the PCI bus master’s view and the processor’s view of system memory are guaranteed to be coherent. If the PCI posted write transactions cannot be flushed from the PCI host bridge, then the PCI bus master and processor are not guaranteed to have a coherent view of system memory, and EFI_DEVICE_ERROR is returned.
Status Codes Returned
EFI_SUCCESS |
The PCI posted write transactions were flushed from the PCI host bridge to system memory. |
EFI_DEVICE_ERROR |
The PCI posted write transactions were not flushed from the PCI host bridge due to a hardware error. |

- EfiPciIoAttributeOperationEnable
Enable the attributes specified by the bits that are set in Attributes for this PCI controller. Bits in Attributes that are clear are ignored. If a bit is set in Attributes that is not supported by this PCI controller or one of its parent bridges, then EFI_UNSUPPORTED is returned. For this operation, Result is an optional parameter that may be NULL.

- EfiPciIoAttributeOperationSupported
Retrieve the PCI controller’s supported attributes, and return them in Result. If Result is NULL, then EFI_INVALID_PARAMER is returned. For this operation, Attributes is ignored.
Description
The Attributes() function performs an operation on the attributes associated with this PCI controller. If Operation is greater than or equal to the maximum operation value, then EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned. If Operation is Get or Supported , and Result is NULL , then EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned. If Operation is Set , Enable , or Disable for an attribute that is not supported by the PCI controller, then EFI_UNSUPPORTED is returned. Otherwise, the operation is performed as described in “Related Definitions” and EFI_SUCCESS is returned. It is possible for this function to return EFI_UNSUPPORTED even if the PCI controller supports the attribute. This can occur when the PCI root bridge does not support the attribute. For example, if VGA I/O and VGA Memory transactions cannot be forwarded onto PCI root bridge #2, then a request by a PCI VGA driver to enable the VGA_IO and VGA_MEMORY bits will fail even though a PCI VGA controller behind PCI root bridge #2 is able to decode these transactions.
This function will also return EFI_UNSUPPORTED if more than one PCI controller on the same PCI root bridge has already successfully requested one of the ISA addressing attributes. For example, if one PCI VGA controller had already requested the VGA_IO and VGA_MEMORY attributes, then a second PCI VGA controller on the same root bridge cannot succeed in requesting those same attributes. This restriction applies to the ISA-, VGA-, and IDE-related attributes.

This is an optional parameter that may be NULL.
Related Definitions
There are only two resource descriptor types from the ACPI Specification that may be used to describe the current resources allocated to BAR of a PCI Controller. These are the QWORD Address Space Descriptor, and the End Tag. The QWORD Address Space Descriptor can describe memory, I/O, and bus number ranges for dynamic or fixed resources. The configuration of a BAR of a PCI Controller is described with one or more QWORD Address Space Descriptors followed by an End Tag. The Tables below contain these two descriptor types. Please see the ACPI Specification for details on the field values. The ACPI Specification does not define how to the use the Address Translation Offset for non-bridge devices. The UEFI Specification is extending the definition of Address Translation Offset to support systems that have different mapping for HostAddress and DeviceAddress. The definition of the Address Space Granularity field in the QWORD Address Space Descriptor differs from the ACPI Specification and the definition in the table below is the one that must be used.

If both Supports and Resources are NULL , then EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned. It is the caller’s responsibility to free Resources with the Boot Service EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.FreePool() when the caller is done with the contents of Resources. If there are not enough resources to allocate Resources , then EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES is returned.
If a bit is set in Supports , then the PCI controller supports this attribute type for the BAR specified by BarIndex , and a call can be made to EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL.SetBarAttributes() using that attribute type.
Status Codes Returned
EFI_SUCCESS |
If Supports is not NULL , then the attributes that the PCI controller supports are returned in Supports. If Resources is not NULL , then the resource descriptors that the PCI controller is currently using are returned in Resources. |
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES |
There are not enough resources available to allocate Resources. |
EFI_UNSUPPORTED |
BarIndex not valid for this PCI controller. |
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER |
Both Supports and Attributes are NULL. |

);
Parameters
- This
A pointer to the EFI PCI I/O Protocol instance. Type EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL is defined in EFI PCI I/O Protocol.
- Attributes
The mask of attributes to set for the resource range specified by BarIndex, Offset, and Length.
- BarIndex
The BAR index of the standard PCI Configuration header to use as the base address for the resource range. The legal range for this field is 0..5.
- Offset
A pointer to the BAR relative base address of the resource range to be modified by the attributes specified by Attributes. On return, Offset will be set to the actual base address of the resource range. Not all resources can be set to a byte boundary, so the actual base address may differ from the one passed in by the caller.
- Length
A pointer to the length of the resource range to be modified by the attributes specified by Attributes. On return, Length will be set to the actual length of the resource range. Not all resources can be set to a byte boundary, so the actual length may differ from the one passed in by the caller.
Description
The SetBarAttributes() function sets the attributes specified in Attributes for the PCI controller on the resource range specified by BarIndex , Offset , and Length. Since the granularity of setting these attributes may vary from resource type to resource type, and from platform to platform, the actual resource range and the one passed in by the caller may differ. As a result, this function may set the attributes specified by Attributes on a larger resource range than the caller requested. The actual range is returned in Offset and Length. The caller is responsible for verifying that the actual range for which the attributes were set is acceptable.
If the attributes are set on the PCI controller, then the actual resource range is returned in Offset and Length , and EFI_SUCCESS is returned. Many of the attribute types also require that the state of the PCI Host Bus Controller and the state of any PCI to PCI bridges between the PCI Host Bus Controller and the PCI Controller to be modified. This function will only return EFI_SUCCESS is all of these state changes are made. The PCI Controller may support a combination of attributes, but unless the PCI Host Bus Controller and the PCI to PCI bridges also support that same combination of attributes, then this call will return an error.
If the attributes specified by Attributes , or the resource range specified by BarIndex , Offset , and Length are not supported by the PCI controller, then EFI_UNSUPPORTED is returned. The set of supported attributes for the PCI controller can be found by calling EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL.GetBarAttributes() .
If either Offset or Length is NULL then EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER is returned.
If there are not enough resources available to set the attributes, then EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES is returned.
Status Codes Returned
EFI_SUCCESS |
The set of attributes specified by Attributes for the resource range specified by BarIndex, Offset, and Length were set on the PCI controller, and the actual resource range is returned in Offset and Length. |
EFI_UNSUPPORTED |
The set of attributes specified by Attributes is not supported by the PCI controller for the resource range specified by BarIndex, Offset, and Length. |
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER |
Offset is NULL. |
EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER |
Length is NULL. |
EFI_OUT_OF_RESOURCES |
There are not enough resources to set the attributes on the resource range specified by BarIndex, Offset, and Length. |
14.4.20. PCI Device Paths¶
An EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL must be installed on a handle for its services to be available to PCI device drivers. In addition to the EFI_PCI_IO_PROTOCOL , an EFI Device Path Protocol must also be installed on the same handle (see chapter 9).
Typically, an ACPI Device Path Node is used to describe a PCI Root Bridge. Depending on the bus hierarchy in the system, additional device path nodes may precede this ACPI Device Path Node. A PCI device path is described with PCI Device Path Nodes. There will be one PCI Device Path node for the PCI controller itself, and one PCI Device Path Node for each PCI to PCI Bridge that is between the PCI controller and the PCI Root Bridge.
Table PCI Device 7, Function 0 on PCI Root Bridge 0 shows an example device path for a PCI controller that is located at PCI device number 0x07 and PCI function 0x00, and is directly attached to a PCI root bridge. This device path consists of an ACPI Device Path Node, a PCI Device Path Node, and a Device Path End Structure. The _HID and _UID must match the ACPI table description of the PCI Root Bridge. The shorthand notation for this device path is:

14.4.21. PCI Option ROMs¶
EFI takes advantage of both the PCI Firmware Specification and the PE/COFF Specification to store EFI images in a PCI Option ROM. There are several rules that must be followed when constructing a PCI Option ROM:
A PCI Option ROM can be no larger than 16 MiB.
A PCI Option ROM may contain one or more images.
Each image must being on a 512-byte boundary.
Each image must be an even multiple of 512 bytes in length. This means that images that are not an even multiple of 512 bytes in length must be padded to the next 512-byte boundary.
Legacy Option ROM images begin with a Standard PCI Expansion ROM Header ( Standard PCI Expansion ROM Header (Example from PCI Firmware Specification 3.0) (example-from-pci-firmware-specification-3.0) .
EFI Option ROM images begin with an EFI PCI Expansion ROM Header ( Recommended PCI Device Driver Layout).
Each image must contain a PCIR data structure in the first 64 KiB of the image.
The image data for an EFI Option ROM image must begin in the first 64 KiB of the image.
The image data for an EFI Option ROM image must be a PE/COFF image or a compressed PE/COFF image following the UEFI Compression Algorithm, and referencing Appendix H — Compression Source Code for the Compression Source Code.
The PCIR data structure must begin on a 4-byte boundary.
If the PCI Option ROM contains a Legacy Option ROM image, it must be the first image.
The images are placed in the PCI Option ROM in order from highest to lowest priority. This priority is used to build the ordered list of Driver Image Handles that are produced by the Bus Specific Driver Override Protocol for a PCI Controller.
xxxx When PCI device provides an EFI option ROM that is signed in accordance with Chapter 27, use of UEFI Compression Algorithm storage option is preferred. When performing signature validation upon compressed driver, the size returned by EFI_DECOMPRESS_PROTOCOL.GetInfo() will be used as driver size and input to signature validation process. Thus any post-driver padding required to reach exact multiple of 512 bytes per Unsigned PCI Driver Image Layout is ignored by signature validation.
When PCI device provides an EFI option ROM that is signed in accordance with Chapter 27 and stored uncompressed, the end of the driver for signature validation will be the assumed to be the 512-byte boundary indicated by the ‘Initialization Size’ value in the EFI PCI Expansion ROM Header (Table EFI PCI Expansion ROM Header ). As the signed driver may not exactly fill the indicated ‘Initialization Size’, it is recommended that the value ‘Offset to EFI Image’ (also Table EFI PCI Expansion ROM Header ) be adjusted to ensure the last byte of the signed, uncompressed driver, coincides with the end of the ROM as indicated by ‘Initialization Size’. And any required padding bytes are to be inserted ahead of the signed uncompressed driver image.
There are several options available when building a PCI option ROM for a PCI adapter. A PCI Option ROM can choose to support only a legacy PC-AT platform, only an EFI compliant platform, or both. This flexibility allows a migration path from adapters that support only legacy PC-AT platforms, to adapters that support both PC-AT platforms and EFI compliant platforms, to adapters that support only EFI compliant platforms. The following is a list of the image combinations that may be placed in a PCI option ROM. This is not an exhaustive list. Instead, it provides what will likely be the most common PCI option ROM layouts. EFI complaint system firmware must work with all of these PCI option ROM layouts, plus any other layouts that are possible within the PCI Firmware Specification. The format of a Legacy Option ROM image is defined in the PCI Firmware Specification.
Legacy Option ROM image
IA-32 UEFI driver
x64 UEFI driver
AArch32 UEFI driver
AArch64 UEFI driver
RISCV32 UEFI driver
RISCV64 UEFI driver
RISCV128 UEFI driver
Legacy Option ROM image + x64 UEFI driver
Legacy Option ROM image + x64 UEFI driver + AArch64 UEFI driver
x64 UEFI driver + AArch64 UEFI driver
Itanium Processor Family UEFI driver
EBC Driver
In addition to combinations of UEFI drivers with different processor binding, it is also possible to include multiple drivers of different function but the same processor binding. When processing option ROM contents, all drivers of appropriate processor binding type must be loaded and added to ordered list of drivers previously mentioned.
It is also possible to place a application written to this specification in a PCI Option ROM. However, the PCI Bus Driver will ignore these images. The exact mechanism by which applications can be loaded and executed from a PCI Option ROM is outside the scope of this document.

14.4.22. PCI Bus Driver Responsibilities¶
A PCI Bus Driver must scan a PCI Option ROM for PCI Device Drivers. If a PCI Option ROM is found during PCI Enumeration, then a copy of the PCI Option ROM is placed in a memory buffer. The PCI Bus Driver will use the memory copy of the PCI Option ROM to search for UEFI drivers after PCI Enumeration. The PCI Bus Driver will search the list of images in a PCI Option ROM for the ones that have a Code Type of 0x03 in the PCIR Data Structure, and a Signature of 0xEF1 in the EFI PCI Expansion ROM Header. Then, it will examine the Subsystem Type of the EFI PCI Expansion ROM Header. If the Subsystem Type is IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_EFI_BOOT_SERVICE_DRIVER (11) or IMAGE_SUBSYSTEM_EFI_RUNTIME_DRIVER (12), then the PCI Bus Driver can load the PCI Device Driver from the PCI Option ROM. The Offset to EFI Image Header field of the EFI PCI Expansion ROM Header is used to get a pointer to the beginning of the PE/COFF image in the PCI Option ROM. The PE/COFF image may have been compressed using the UEFI Compression Algorithm. If it has been compressed, then the PCI Bus Driver must decompress the driver to a memory buffer. The Boot Service EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.LoadImage() can then be used to load the driver. All UEFI driver images discovered in the PCI Option ROM and meeting these requirements must be processed and loaded via LoadImage() . If the platform does not support the Machine Type of the driver, then LoadImage() may fail.
It is the PCI Bus Driver’s responsibility to verify that the Expansion ROM Header and PCIR Data Structure are valid. It is the responsibly of the Boot Service LoadImage() to verify that the PE/COFF image is valid. The Boot Service LoadImage() may fail for several reasons including a corrupt PE/COFF image or an unsupported Machine Type.
If a PCI Option ROM contains one or more UEFI images, then the PCI Bus Driver must install an instance of the EFI_LOAD_FILE2_PROTOCOL on the PCI controller handle. Then, when the PCI Bus Driver loads a PE/COFF image from a PCI Option ROM using the Boot Service LoadImage() , the PCI Bus Driver must provide the device path of the image being loaded. The device path of an image loaded from a PCI Option ROM must be the device path to the PCI Controller to which the PCI Option ROM is attached followed by a Relative Offset Range node. The Starting Offset field of the Relative Offset Range node must be the byte offset from the beginning of the PCI Option ROM to the beginning of the EFI Option ROM image, and the Ending Offset field of the Relative Offset Range node must be the byte offset from the beginning of the PCI Option ROM to the end of the EFI Option ROM image. The table below shows an example device path for an EFI driver loaded from a PCI Option ROM. The EFI Driver starts at offset 0x8000 into the PCI Option ROM and is 0x2000 bytes long. The shorthand notation for this device path is:

The PCI Option ROM search may produce one or more Driver Image Handles for the PCI Controller that is associated with the PCI Option ROM. The PCI Bus Driver is responsible for producing a Bus Specific Driver Override Protocol instance for every PCI Controller has a PCI Option ROM that contains one or more UEFI Drivers. The Bus Specific Driver Override Protocol produces an ordered list of Driver Image Handles. The order that the UEFI Drivers are placed in the PCI Option ROM is the order of Driver Image Handles that must be returned by the Bus Specific Driver Override Protocol. This gives the party that builds the PCI Option ROM control over the order that the drivers are used in the Boot Service EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.ConnectController().
14.4.23. PCI Device Driver Responsibilities¶
A PCI Device Driver should not be designed to care where it is stored. It can reside in a PCI Option ROM, the system’s motherboard ROM, a hard drive, a CD-ROM drive, etc. All PCI Device Drivers are compiled and linked to generate a PE/COFF image. When a PE/COFF image is placed in a PCI Option ROM, it must follow the rules outlined in See PCI Option ROMs. The recommended image layout is to insert an EFI PCI Expansion ROM Header and a PCIR Data Structure in front of the PE/COFF image, and pad the entire image up to the next 512-byte boundary. See Unsigned PCI Driver Image Layout shows the format of a single PCI Device Driver that can be added to a PCI Option ROM.
Following are recommended layouts and flow charts for various types of driver signage and compression states for PCI device driver images. See Unsigned PCI Driver Image Layout shows an unsigned layout.
Fig. 14.15 Unsigned PCI Driver Image Layout¶
Figures Signed and Compressed PCI Driver Image Flow and Signed and Compressed PCI Driver Image Flow show a signed and compressed PCI device driver image flow chart and layout, respectively.
Fig. 14.16 Signed and Compressed PCI Driver Image Flow¶
Fig. 14.17 Signed and Compressed PCI Driver Image Layout¶
Figure Signed but not Compressed PCI Driver Image Flow and Figure Signed and Uncompressed PCI Driver Image Layout show a signed but not compressed flow chart and a signed and uncompressed PCI device driver image layout, respectively.
Fig. 14.18 Signed but not Compressed PCI Driver Image Flow¶
Fig. 14.19 Signed and Uncompressed PCI Driver Image Layout¶
The field values for the EFI PCI Expansion ROM Header and the PCIR Data Structure would be as follows in this recommended PCI Driver image layout. An image must start at a 512-byte boundary, and the end of the image must be padded to the next 512-byte boundary.

14.4.24. Nonvolatile Storage¶
A PCI adapter may contain some form of nonvolatile storage. Since there are no standard access mechanisms for nonvolatile storage on PCI adapters, the PCI I/O Protocol does not provide any services for nonvolatile storage. However, a PCI Device Driver may choose to implement its own access mechanisms. If there is a private channel between a PCI Controller and a nonvolatile storage device, a PCI Device Driver can use it for configuration options or vital product data.
Note: The fields RomImage and RomSize in the PCI I/O Protocol do not provide direct access to the PCI Option ROM on a PCI adapter. Instead, they provide access to a copy of the PCI Option ROM in memory. If the contents of the RomImage are modified, only the memory copy is updated. If a vendor wishes to update the contents of a PCI Option ROM, they must provide their own utility or driver to perform this task. There is no guarantee that the BAR for the PCI Option ROM is valid at the time that the utility or driver may execute, so the utility or driver must provide the code required to gain write access to the PCI Option ROM contents. The algorithm for gaining write access to a PCI Option ROM is both platform specific and adapter specific, so it is outside the scope of this document.
14.4.25. PCI Hot-Plug Events¶
It is possible to design a PCI Bus Driver to work with PCI Bus that conforms to the PCI Hot-Plug Specification. There are two levels of functionality that could be provided in the preboot environment. The first is to initialize the PCI Hot-Plug capable bus so it can be used by an operating system that also conforms to the PCI Hot-Plug Specification. This only affects the PCI Enumeration that is performed in either the PCI Bus Driver’s initialization, or a firmware component that executes prior to the PCI Bus Driver’s initialization. None of the PCI Device Drivers need to be aware of the fact that a PCI Controller may exist in a slot that is capable of a hot-plug event. Also, the addition, removal, and replacement of PCI adapters in the preboot environment would not be allowed.
The second level of functionality is to actually implement the full hot-plug capability in the PCI Bus Driver. This is not recommended because it adds a great deal of complexity to the PCI Bus Driver design with very little added value. However, there is nothing about the PCI Driver Model that would preclude this implementation. It would require using an event based periodic timer to monitor the hot-plug capable slots, and take advantage of the EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.ConnectController() and EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.DisconnectController() Boot Services to dynamically start and stop the drivers that manage the PCI controller that is being added, removed, or replaced. If the EFI_BOOT_SERVICES.DisconnectController() Boot Service fails it must be retried via a periodic timer.
