How to embed iPXE into EDK2-based UEFI firmware?

I've just started to study UEFI development, as a playground I've got a custom AARCH64 platform with EDK2-based sources provided for building full firmware image (to be burned into flash).

"Hello world" in DXE driver is already done, so I've selected a practical task: to include iPXE into firmware to avoid chain loading.

The idea is to build iPXE EFI application and put it into firmware volume. Then I hope to be able to call it from UEFI shell, the final step is to add it to boot manager.

And here I stuck: I can't find any information on how to add EFI application to FV.

Please advise if it possible at all and where to read about it.

Thank you!

Okay, the solution was close in this inf file: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-non-osi/blob/master/Drivers/Realtek/Bus/Usb/UsbNetworking/RtkUsbUndiDxe.inf

I've put pre-compiled ipxe.efi and now it's included in firmware volume.
