https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=542 [BaseTools] Structure PCD value assignment in DEC/DSC The first version POC has been added to support FixedAtBuild and Patchable StructurePcd value assignment in dec and dsc file. TestPkg DEC/DSC and Application shows StructurePcd declaration, value assignment and consumed in source code. TestPkg TestApp can directly be built with build command. POC has been updated to support DynamicPcd/DynamicExPcd. TestPkg DSC/FDF are updated to include NT32 emualtion platform. TestPkg TestApp are updated to consume structure PCD with all types. POC has been updated to support PCD when more than one SkuId. TestPkg.dsc adds two SKUIDs cases.

Target for 2017
Some changes in this branch are in BaseTools. To apply them, user needs to run BaseTools from sources. In Linux, BaseTools run from source. In Windows, BaseTools can run from source. The step is like below: cd edk2 set PYTHON_HOME=C:\Python27 edksetup.bat --nt32 nmake -f BaseTools\Makefile build -p TestPkg\TestPkg.dsc -y Report.txt build -p TestPkg\TestPkg.dsc run # trig NT32 platform, and show dynamic PCD.
