See also UEFI drivers that can read a bunch of other file systems (btrfs, ext2/3/4, HFS, ISO, NTFS, UFS/FFS, XFS, ZFS, etc):

The UEFI spec specifies (§13.3) that firmware is only required to read FAT32/16/12, which is generally why your /boot/efi is VFAT/FAT32.

Looking forward to ditching these bloated operating systems with all this cruft I I do not need for something smaller and simpler: UEFI. Not to mention faster startup. Easier "embedded" development.
Of course I am joking. Sort of.
As a minimalist I do not need a GUI or a mouse. It seems UEFI already has more than I need.

Project mention: Radxa Rock 5 ITX: 8-Core ARM Mini ITX Board with LPDDR5 RAM | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-15
FWIW, there is a port of EDK2 to the RK3588, which is what powers this board. Most of the peripherals work. So that's nice. But the thing is, it isn't UEFI so much as the device-tree/ACPI distinction you need to be mindful of. You can use either DTBs or ACPI to boot Linux on this device, though. https://github.com/edk2-porting/edk2-rk3588
