Top 7 Rust Uefi Projects

uefi-rs

15 1,186 9.5 Rust

Rust wrapper for UEFI.
aero

12 1,086 8.9 Rust

Aero is a new modern, experimental, UNIX-like operating system following the monolithic kernel design. Supporting modern PC features such as long mode, 5-level paging, and SMP (multicore), to name a few.

Project mention: Maestro: A Linux-compatible kernel in Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-03

This feels like an ad; the blog post and the README feel like they were written to sound complicated and smart rather than tell the whole truth. Like, "On boot, the kernel has full access to the memory and is allowed to write where it should not (its own code, for example)"? Apart from the fact that ring 0 will always have full control, the MMU also exists. Also, the "48k" (the kernel has 34324 lines of non-comment code, the rest are in the other repos I assume) LOC are obvious when you consider code like src/syscall/mod.rs:717 is present.
To be fair, this is impressive, but its a basic monolithic kernel written for a school project, with the "twist" that it is in Rust and uses Linux syscalls.
For anyone who is interesting in more Rust UNIX-like kernels, Aero (https://github.com/Andy-Python-Programmer/aero) is farther ahead supports running quite a lot of recompiled Linux userspace, including dwm and WebKit.

uefisettings

1 24 6.5 Rust

The tool to read/get/extract and write/change/modify BIOS/UEFI settings from Linux terminal.

Project mention: Unlocking secret ThinkPad functionality for emulating USB devices | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-22

I was recently pleasantly surprised by a Linux utility that can list all UEFI variables stored in Hii and change them: https://github.com/linuxboot/uefisettings/
Obviously can't bypass security settings like this laptop has, but it's useful for a few settings in my case.
