Introduction of the EFI Development Kit (EDK II) for Server Platfor...
summary
EDK II is an open-source UEFI framework (originating 2004 with EDK, UEFI spec from 2006) that packages firmware into modules with INF metadata and PCD tokens, libraries and drivers, and platform description files. It supports multiple OSes and toolchains, separates silicon-specific drivers, and lets engineers create a package, compile it and build packages and run in the emulator to see serial or POST output. The talk maps UEFI phases (SEC/PI/DXE/BDS/TSL), explains ACPI/SMBIOS roles, and shows modular reuse and contribution workflow.
