This is a work-in-progress version of Fiedka, based on the utk-web prototype with a back-end running in WebAssembly and written in Go.

The app is based on Electron.

You need to have a Node.js runtime and npm installed. For the back-end, you need Go version 1.17 at least. Find them in your respective OS distribution and install them through your package manager, e.g., yay -S go nodejs npm. On NixOS you can get a shell with all dependencies by running nix-shell.

To install the dependencies, run npm install.

For DXE GUIDs, efiXplorer is used as a submodule. Do an initial checkout:

git submodule update --init --checkout

Due to targeting WebAssembly, we need it to tell the Go compiler to manage modules.

Note: The go.mod file is in src/. Run Go commands in that directory.

To upgrade Fiano, one of Fiedka's core dependencies:

GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm go get github.com/linuxboot/[email protected]

If you want to add a new dependency, run:

GOOS=js GOARCH=wasm go get github.com/foo-org/[email protected]

Note: Running go get may leave inconsistencies in go.mod. Afterwards, always run:

go mod tidy

npm start

Clone Fiano side by side with Fiedka; i.e., have them like this:

fiano/
fiedka/

This requires Go 1.18. Create this symlink: ln -s go.workspace go.work That will tell Go tu use ../fiano instead of github.com/linuxboot/fiano.

Note: go.work is gitignore so that you cannot accidentally commit it.

Add this line to the bottom of src/go.mod:

replace github.com/linuxboot/fiano => ../../fiano

Be sure never to have this in a PR to Fiedka. Prefer the workspace method.

Binaries for Linux are published on GitHub.
