I'm currently looking into adding UEFI support to the `bootloader` crate. I already managed to create a small example application using `uefi-rs` and I'm currently trying to find a common...

@IsaacWoods Thanks a lot for the explanation!

Interesting, I didn't know that. Still, there are many PCs and laptops without a serial port today. I fully agree that they're more useful than a framebuffer for debugging. Maybe...

@LiamTheProgrammer Emulating UEFI on BIOS machines sounds like a good solution, provided that this is not too much work. Otherwise, we could try to create some sort of common interface...

I just pushed the first prototype of the uefi bootloader here: https://github.com/rust-osdev/bootloader/tree/uefi Use `cargo uefi-build` for building and `cargo uefi-run` for starting it in QEMU (requires OVMF). Like the BIOS...

Still working on it when I have time. Today I started implementing a new boot information struct including the memory map. I also thought about redesigning the interface between the...
