2n VS edk2

For example, I wrote a 2048 game clone (for the console) in C, and it even have iterators. I don't think that using C++ would have made the code cleaner.

Probably not that good, but I'm kind of proud of my console clone of 2048.

Found a minimal non-fatal error, the FILENAME_MAX does not include the NUL byte, so you need to add a +1.

Here's my solution.

For the modern server/desktop and even laptop, that's also no bad thing. It is somewhat ridiculous that UEFI bioses, internally, still boot in 16-bit real mode and have to do all the steps your bios bootloader used to do to set up a 64-bit environment ready to go: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/edc6681206c1a8791981a..., https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/edc6681206c1a8791981a..., https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/edc6681206c1a8791981a...

Why not just start the CPU in "long mode", which is what everyone is using it for, in the first place?

These newer ARM processors support 32-bit code at EL0 only (userspace). That seems like a reasonable approach for x86 as well and the freebsd announcement has this to say:

> There is currently no plan to remove support for 32-bit binaries on 64-bit kernels.

So for the moment, you can run 32-bit applications just fine.

Download this UEFI shell and place it in the BOOT subfolder

They could have at least informed TianoCore. the affected code in edk2 hasn't been modified in 2 years.... https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/blob/master/MdeModulePkg/Library/BaseBmpSupportLib/BmpSupportLib.c

I have half fixed it.. Using this solution: https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/discussions/4662

You need only EDK2 and some lööps.

What is the difference between this and https://github.com/tianocore/edk2

From there you'll need to get an EFI Shell. There may be one built into your system, but you can also get one here from Tianocore (aka, the people mostly making UEFI). Neither this EFI Shell nor Keytool.efi (the thing you need to load the keys) are signed of course, so you will need to turn off SecureBoot to continue. From there just run Keytool with your new keys, turn back on SecureBoot, and move on with your life.

I had the same issue. What fixed it for me was compiling my own OVMF.fd file from here and using that to boot. The version of OVMF that shipped with fedora was broken for me for some reason.
