UEFI [FreeBSD WIKI]

This is an old revision of the document!

May 15, 2013 13:30-16:30 in SITE F0126

This working group is focussed on how FreeBSD can adapt to the UEFI boot environment. It is open to anyone with an interest in the state of FreeBSD on UEFI and anyone who wishes to be part of further discussions as to how FreeBSD on UEFI will look.

If you would like to participate, contact BennoRice and CC devsummit@.

It may be possible to bring in people who cannot attend in person via video conference or chat tools. Notes during the session will be published later on for the whole community to see what we discussed.

In this working group I hope to update the developer community as to the state of support of UEFI under FreeBSD. This will be in the form of a brief presentation. After that a series of discussions will be held around certain topics with a view to determining future directions of UEFI support.

#	Topic
1	Structure of the EFI System Partition under FreeBSD
2	Interoperation with other OSes and FreeBSD installations on the same system
3	How updates to boot stubs, loader and kernels are managed
4	How a UEFI-based FreeBSD system is installed (also relates to #2)
5	How and to what extent to we support Secure Boot?
6	Making the kernel relocatable to avoid issues with UEFI memory allocations

In order to attend you need register for the developer summit as well as by email for the session and be confirmed by the working group organizer. Follow the guidelines described on the main page or what you received by email. For questions or if in doubt ask the session chairs.

Please do NOT add yourself here. Your name will appear automatically once you have received the confirmation email. You need to put your name on the general developer summit attendees list though.
