EF Core do not support edmx. It uses attributes and Fluent API for defining schema and mapping.
Check this link how to work with existing database with EF Core.

You cannot create an EDMX file in .NET core but you can use an existing edmx file in .NET core project. I documented the procedure here and a code sample on github. You can even generate more than entities, including an entire API
