Add OcTextInputLib for EFI 1.1/cMP5,1 compatibility #581
Conversation
This driver provides SimpleTextInputEx protocol support for EFI 1.1 systems that lack native support for this protocol. Specifically designed to enable OpenShell text editor functionality on older UEFI implementations. Key features: - EFI 1.1 compatibility layer for SimpleTextInputEx protocol - Function key support (F1-F11) for OpenShell - Control character detection and mapping (Ctrl+A through Ctrl+Z) - Non-intrusive operation with existing text input protocols Signed-off-by: OpenCore Contributor <[email protected]>
Fixed Uncrustify code style issues: - Added required spaces before parentheses in function calls - Updated DEBUG and EFI_ERROR macro spacing - Aligned with OpenCore coding standards
Updated copyright year from 2024 to 2025 to match the copyright notices in the .inf and .c files.
…CompatDxe Implemented security and code quality improvements: 1. Security Fix: Replace fixed dummy handle (0xDEADBEEF) with dynamically allocated unique handles to prevent security exploitation - RegisterKeyNotify now allocates unique handles using AllocateZeroPool - UnregisterKeyNotify validates and properly frees allocated handles 2. Code Quality: Replace large switch statement with lookup table approach - Added CTRL_CHAR_INFO structure and mCtrlCharTable lookup table - Implemented GetControlCharDescription() helper function - Reduced code duplication and improved maintainability 3. Code Cleanup: Removed unused control character definitions - Kept only control characters actually used by OpenShell - Improved code readability and reduced clutter These changes address all feedback from the OpenCore team review.
Applied OpenCore Uncrustify formatting using uncstrap script: - Fixed macro alignment and spacing consistency - Aligned struct/array initializers and function arguments - Added proper spacing around operators and braces - Fixed indentation and line breaks to match OpenCore standards - Ensured consistent formatting throughout the source file All Uncrustify code style issues have been resolved.
- Added OpenCorePkg/OpenCorePkg.dec package reference to .inf file - Added SimpleTextInputExCompatDxe to OpenCorePkg.dsc component list - Driver will now be built automatically with OpenCore builds - Positioned after CrScreenshotDxe as a similar compatibility driver
…tion - Fix C2220/C4244 warning treated as error on line 271 - Cast KeyData->Key.UnicodeChar to UINT8 when calling GetControlCharDescription - Also cast in DEBUG statements for consistency - Cast is safe since values are already checked to be in range 0x01-0x1F
- Add SimpleTextInputExCompatDxe.efi to build_oc.tool driver list - Add SimpleTextInputExCompatDxe to OpenDuetPkg.dsc components - Ensures the driver is included in OpenCore packages and builds
- Change from SimpleTextInputExCompatDxe.efi to SimpleTextInputExCompat.efi - Matches the BASE_NAME in the INF file (SimpleTextInputExCompat) - Fixes build packaging error: 'No such file or directory'
- Add OcTextInputLib library for SimpleTextInputEx protocol compatibility - Add OcTextInputDxe standalone driver for EFI 1.1 systems like cMP5,1 - Enhanced CTRL key detection and function key support (F1-F12) - Provides compatibility layer for systems lacking SimpleTextInputEx - Addresses keyboard issues in Shell text editor on older systems - Includes comprehensive debugging and testing functions

This is clearly copy-pasted from the library. Need to use library code here.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The driver needs to be standalone for usage outside of OpenCorePkg
Making it depend on OcTextInputLib breaks that independence.
We have a few options:
- Keep the driver independent with its own implementation (accept some code duplication for independence)
- Create a shared header with common structures/constants that both can use
- Static linking approach where the driver includes the library code directly without external dependencies
Path chosen:
- Created OcTextInputCommon.h
- Contains shared structures (OCTI_CONTROL_CHAR_MAPPING), macros, and helper functions
- Eliminates code duplication between library and driver as requested.

What is the problem to use the driver AND use OcTextInputLib? I am sorry, but there is common practice in UEFI/EDK II-based projects to use libraries to contain common code. We do not use static inline (as in provided by headers) functions in UEFI/EDK II-based projects.

I'm not sure if there is some confusion here, that if it's built with OcTextInputLib then it can only be used within the OC environment? If so, that's not true!

Why cannot we use OcCompatRegisterKeyNotify instead of CompatRegisterKeyNotify, OcCompatSetState instead of CompatSetState, and so on for similar functions? Before making changes please rather answer, so that we do not make the work twice ^_^
There was a problem hiding this comment.
We should indeed use the library functions (OcCompatXXX) instead of having separate CompatXXX functions in the driver.
…cture Eliminated code duplication by using OcCompatXXX library functions - Refactored OcTextInputDxe to use shared OcTextInputLib implementation - Exported OcCompatReset, OcCompatReadKeyStrokeEx, OcCompatSetState, OcCompatRegisterKeyNotify, OcCompatUnregisterKeyNotify - Maintain driver independence through static linking architecture - Resolve header conflicts between Include/Library and Include/Acidanthera paths - Create OcTextInputLocalLib for internal library dependencies - Ensure full SimpleTextInputEx protocol compatibility for EFI 1.1 systems - Support F10→CTRL+E remapping for cMP5,1 compatibility This implements a clean library-driver separation while maintaining the standalone deployment capability required for firmware injection scenarios.

Hi - Sorry if I'm coming a bit late with this suggestion, but I would suggest changing to using SimpleTextInput, SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT, etc., everwhere. E.g. Library/OcSimpleTextInputLib, etc. - just so it's very clear at first sight what this is. (As we already have lots of helper libraries, for lots of somewhat related things.)

Since we've already implemented the functionality and it's working, and this would require extensive renaming across files, folders, and function names, this could be addressed in a separate refactoring if desired. Isn't the current naming clear and functional?
