uefi

Rusty wrapper for the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface.

This crate makes it easy to develop Rust software that leverages safe, convenient, and performant abstractions for UEFI functionality.

Value-add and Use Cases

uefi supports writing code for both pre- and post-exit boot services epochs, but its true strength shines when you create UEFI images that heavily interact with UEFI boot services. Still, you have the flexibility to just integrate selected types and abstractions into your project, for example to parse the UEFI memory map.

Note that for producing UEFI images, you also need to use a corresponding uefi compiler target of Rust, such as x86_64-unknown-uefi.
