Hi Alexandre,
Thanks for your helpful reply,After review your attach file,I am very very exicted,and then has some questions,could you help to answer again?
1.I can't found the file sfc9000.c in the ipxe project,what is the use of this document?Is a new driver and could you tell me the driver support machine,if you can send the file to me will best?
2.You said you can successfully PXE boot On a real UEFI machine,did you used the ipxe project?Did you run under uefi enviroment?could you tell me the machine and your made script?which command has been run?what method do you use to create image?as i know,if you run "chain" or "sanboot" command under uefi shell,you should create a uefi image format?
3.Your attach show that the *.efi which your built can detected the network device,but after my bin-x86_64-efi/82579lm.efidrv can't detect network device,as i know,the network device of my Thinkpad T420 machine is intel.
4.As i know ,the return error code EFI_UNSUPPORTED was showed when call efi_create->openprotocol?(), because the controller handle is not in the pci hand list.
5.PCI_vm_windows7_x64_under_uefishell.txt was created when i run command "pci" under uefi shell.
6.snponly_boot_failed_under_uefishell.jpg when I run under command:
fs0:snponly.efi
ipxe:chain http://boot.ipxe.org/demo/boot.php
5.Could you help to review two attach documents and point out my mistakes?
Thanks for your great greate support.

For info I attached a screenshot of the driver loading. It was compiled with
DEBUG=efi_init,efi_snp,efi_pci,efi_driver_health,netdevice,sfc9000

Hi Alexandre,
Thanks for your quickly reply.Did you built a *.efi and detected device under uefi enviroment?Did you network boot succeed?
Yes. I can detect my pci device (UEFI 'pci' command), and load the driver. On a real UEFI machine I can successfully PXE boot.
I am not sure if that makes a difference with your command I see in the screenshot, but I use a command like
fs0:\> load <driver name>.efidrv
to load the driver. Not a simple invocation of a *.efi file.
From what I mentioned in my previous email yours may be:
ipxe/src $ ls bin-x86_64-efi/*.efidrv
bin-x86_64-efi/82579lm.efidrv
Check the output of 'pci' in your UEFI shell (see previous email).
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.
If the steps I described previously don't work you may try to better undestrand why EFI_UNSUPPORTED is returned. Check the parameters provided to OpenProtocol; maybe list the protocols available on your handle.
BTW,Could you tell me whether ipxe is supported in uefi enviroment,if not,could you tell me your plan.
I don't really understand the question here. You can compile a UEFI driver for you card if it is supported in iPXE.

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

Hi 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".

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
