3.3. Building the UEFI Boot Loader

To build a UEFI boot loader, you obtain the UEFI source code and compile the UEFI source with the supported toolchain.

The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is a standardized firmware specification that simplifies and secures platform initialization and firmware bootstrap operations. UEFI is currently developed and supported by representatives from more than 250 industry-leading technology companies. Arm* and the Linaro Enterprise Group are also promoting the use of UEFI on Arm* architecture, because the UEFI specification helps standardize the boot process for Arm* processor-based platforms.

UEFI technology is future-proofed through standardization of firmware design rather than proprietary firmware design. UEFI specifications promote business and technological efficiency, improve performance and security, facilitate interoperability between devices, platforms and systems and comply with next-generation technologies. The UEFI specification is peer-reviewed and published, allowing developers to write firmware once per platform and reuse it without much modification. This reuse results in cost and time savings during boot loader development.

This framework uses the BSD license, permitting you to optionally commercialize your implementation with minimal legal issues.

You can compile the UEFI source code either in a Windows or in a Linux system.
