EDK II is a modern, feature-rich, cross-platform firmware development environment for the UEFI and UEFI Platform Initialization specifications. We hope that you’ll review our wiki documentation, use TianoCore for platform firmware, report any issues you find, and contribute to the community.

There are multiple hardware platforms using EDK II open source UEFI firmware, including MinPlatform Open Boards, MinnowBoard Max/Turbot, MinnowBoard 3, and Intel® Galileo Gen 2. This allows you to experiment and develop UEFI features on real hardware.

Welcome to TianoCore, the community supporting an open source implementation of UEFI. EDK II is a modern, feature-rich, cross-platform firmware development environment for the UEFI and PI specifications.

The TianoCore wiki on github is the central repository for project information. Some project information is available as specifications or whitepapers (PDF & GitBook format). Please see the wiki page for a complete list of EDK II related documents

There are many folks in the UEFI community using Linux as their main dev machines. This guide is focused on setting up Linux for UEFI development. This guide also uses Visual Studio Code as it has fantastic capabilities that makes working in Linux much easier.

uefi_build ¶ Code that supports the Tianocore Edk2 build system. This class is designed to be subclassed by a platform to allow more extensive and custom behavior.

Edk2 Pytool Library (edk2toollib) is a Tianocore maintained project consisting of a python library supporting UEFI firmware development. This package's intent is to provide an easy way to organize and share python code to facilitate reuse across environments, tools, and scripts.

If you want, you can call it a day and load your new ROM on an SD card and boot your UEFI powered Raspberry Pi. However, there are a few things we'd like to tweak. Right now, the DeviceTree image is a binary file checked into the non-osi git repo. A better approach might be using the image directly.

Edk2 Pytool Extensions (edk2toolext) is a Tianocore maintained project consisting of command line and other python tools and extensions to simplify and automate the process of building and maintaining an Edk2 based UEFI Firmware code tree.
