Top 23 C Uefi Projects

  • Ventoy

    A new bootable USB solution.

    • Project mention: Tools for Linux Distro Hoppers | dev.to | 2024-03-27

    Ventoy is an open-source tool to create a bootable USB drive for ISO/WIM/IMG/VHD(x)/EFI files. Using Ventoy, we can create live USB for multiple distros in one flash disk. This is a revolutionary feature compared to other tools, e.g., Etcher, Rufus, etc, that can only create one live USB at a time. This tool is so important. Don't call yourself a distro hopper if you don't know this tool.

  • Rufus

    The Reliable USB Formatting Utility

    • Project mention: The Ultimate NixOS Homelab Guide - The Install | dev.to | 2024-05-03

  • hekate

    hekate - A GUI based Nintendo Switch Bootloader

    • Project mention: hekate v6.0.6 & Nyx v1.5.5 | /r/SwitchHacks | 2023-08-25

  • edk2

    EDK II

    • Project mention: Future of 32-bit platform support in FreeBSD | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-20

    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.

  • tilck

    A Tiny Linux-Compatible Kernel

  • limine

    Modern, advanced, portable, multiprotocol bootloader and boot manager.

    • Project mention: It's far from clear how grub package updates work on Ubuntu | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-13

    I assume this person meant to say `Limine'.

    It's what I use for dualbooting Windows and Linux. It's really easy to Install, Use & Understand.

  • mitnal

    Twitter client for UEFI

    • Project mention: An IRC Client in your motherboard | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-05

    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.

    Here is the Twitter client mentioned:

  • efifs

    EFI FileSystem drivers

    • Project mention: How to Boot ISO Files from GRUB2 Boot Loader | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-16

    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):

    * https://github.com/pbatard/efifs

    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.
