Hi Alexandre,
Thanks for your quickly reply.Did you built a *.efi and detected device under uefi enviroment?Did you network boot succeed?
I have debug this issue more than one week,but i can't find the root cause,my deubg information like following figure.
The call flow is efipci_supported()->efipci_create()->OpenProtocol(),unfortunately,OpenProtocol return EFI_UNSUPPORTED error code and the log is "EFIPCI device 0x3dbf5398 is not a PCI device",I think ipxe can't enum the pci device.Could you tell me the right step or ut pass machine. I get the faile result after boot ipxe via uefi shell on Thinkpad T420 and VMare 8.0,it's network device is intel.
BTW,Could you tell me whether ipxe is supported in uefi enviroment,if not,could you tell me your plan.

                   My patch will potentially fix some       errors reported by SCT.       It probably won't fix your problem.
       
       I have little experience with UEFI or iPXE, but here are a few       suggestions:
       
       The commands you listed don't work for me, and I could not find       matching vendor / device id for the first 3 devices you mention:
       $ cd <ipxe_repo>/src/
       $ grep -RHIin 8086 drivers/net/ | grep -i 2000
       $ grep -RHIin 8086 drivers/net/ | grep -i 2001
       $ grep -RHIin 8086 drivers/net/ | grep -i 2625
       
       I could build a efi-driver for the last device your mention:
       
       Commands:
       $ cd <ipxe_repo>/src/
       $ grep -RHIin 8086 drivers/net/ | grep -i 1502
       gives me:
       ./intel.c:926:    PCI_ROM ( 0x8086, 0x1502, "82579lm", "82579LM",       0 )
       
       So I could build your UEFI driver with the command:
       $ make bin-x86_64-efi/82579lm.efidrv -j6
       (replace efidrv with efirom to build a rom)
       
       
       I am wondering if your other devices are supported. Maybe the way       I am looking for devices is not appropriate though.
       
       Here is an example procedure to load the driver built previously       (very verbose).
       
       cd to the filesystem
       > fs0:
       Check that your device exist. Here look for your device 0x8086,       0x1502
       > pci
       Check what drivers are loaded. Write down the index of the last       driver loaded.
       > drivers
       List devices. Write down the index of the last device
       > devices
       Load your driver manually (this is the file compiled previously)
       > load driver\82579lm.efidrv
       Now check if your driver is loaded
       > drivers
       and if your device is present.
       > devices
       
       If that does not work maybe try to enable debug in some iPXE       files.
       For example:
       make bin-x86_64-efi/82579lm.efidrv -j6       DEBUG=intel,efi_snp,efi_init
       Enabling debug in files related to your device may give you some       useful info.
       
       Hope this helps,
       
       Alexandre

       Could you tell me which issue was be fixed by your patch?
       
       
       I have some issue like following about ipxe with uefi,I think         you are good well with uefi.
       
       
                           
Our               product will import ipxe,but efi file can't found network               device,I built efi file according to the below steps.
         
                    
1.I have undef PXE_STACK and  PXE_MENU in               src\config\general.h.
         
                    
2.Built EFI version as vendor/product               specific:
         
                    
$ make bin-x86-64/10222000.efi               bin-x86-64/10222001.efi bin-x86-64/10222625.efi.(computer               vendor is 1022 ,device id is 2001).
         
                    
$make bin-x86-64-efi/80861502(computer               vendor is 8086,device id is 1502).
         
                    
3.insert usb drive and enter uefi shell.
         
                    
4.fs0:
         
                    
5.run above efi file.
         
                    
6.All commands are Show the tip "No more network devices".

             Subject:  [ipxe-devel] UEFI SCT patch
           
           
           
           Hello,
           
           I recently started working on our UEFI driver, and some of my           changes 
           may be useful for iPXE upstream.
           
           So here is a first patch dealing with NIC independent code.           Can you have 
           a look and let me know if it needs some modifications.
           It includes:
             - changes to be more UEFI compliant and pass SCT tests (most           changes 
           in efi_snp.c)
             - initial support for the driver health protocol
             - initial support for the firmware management protocol
           
           You'll probably want to verify the additional checks for UEFI           versions:
             - I added the DRIVER_EFI_SUPPORTED_VERSION protocol, as           required by 
           the UEFI spec.
           " Provides information about the version of the EFI           specification that a 
           driver is following. This
           protocol is required for EFI drivers that are on PCI and other           plug in 
           cards. "
           - In efi_init.c I added a check for a minimal version of UEFI           required 
           to use the driver. I am not sure you want to keep that.
           
           
           Alexandre
