The authors have each made significant contributions to developments in these areas. The reader will learn to use the latest developments in UEFI on modern hardware, including open source firmware and open hardware designs. The book begins with an exploration of interfaces exposed to higher-level software and operating systems, and commences to the left of the boot timeline, describing the flow of typical systems, beginning with the machine restart event. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSoftware engineers working with UEFI will benefit greatly from this book, while specific sections of the book address topics relevant for a general audience: system architects, pre-operating-system application developers, operating system vendors (loader, kernel), independent hardware vendors (such as for plug-in adapters), and developers of end-user applications. As a secondary audience, project technical leaders or managers may be interested in this book to get a feel for what their engineers are doing. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe reader will find: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn overview of UEFI and underlying Platform Initialization (PI) specifications \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHow to create UEFI applications and drivers \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWorkflow to design the firmware solution for a modern platform \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAdvanced usages of UEFI firmware for security and manageability \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Walter de Gruyter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45126350962839,"sku":"9781501514784","price":7316.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781501514784.webp?v=1767100925","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/beyond-bios-developing-with-the-unified-extensible-firmware-interface-third-edition-9781501514784","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
