| Unix Simulation Platform |
| ======================== |
| |
| UnixPkg is one of platform package which can be built to a platform's firmware from UnixPkg.dsc file. |
| And this package provide a simulation platform under *INUX environment in IA32 architecture. |
| |
| - Same points between real platform and simulation platform: |
| 1) Unix simulation platform also run with firmware device image built from UnixPkg |
| 2) The working flow of simulation platform also contains SEC/PEI/DXE phase. |
| |
| - Different points between real platform and simulation platform: |
| 1) The SEC phase in simulation platform in fact is a *INUX native application which can be run from *INUX shell; |
| 2) The device in simulation platform is not real hardware but simulation component in API level; |
| 3) The ThunkBus driver in simulation platform will get virtual device's desription from PCD and create virtual Device |

| Build |
| ===== |
| UnixPkg is built with following command: |
| build -p UnixPkg/UnixPkg.dsc -a IA32 -t ELFGCC |
| Notes: ELFGCC is defined in <Workspace>/Conf/tools_def.txt file. This tool chain use native gcc/binutil instead of |
| cross-compiler like UNIXGCC tool chain. |

| FAQ |
| === |
| 1, I fail to build UnixPkg due to "X11/extensions/XShm.h: No such file or directory"? |
| The display adapter in UnixPkg is a virtual device written in X11 API. The library of x11proto-xext-dev is required |
| for building. |
| |
| 2, I fail to build UnixPkg due to "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXext"? |
| libxext-dev library is required for building. |
