THIS PROJECT IS NO LONGER MAINTAINED.
The gigaboot20x6 project is now hosted at
https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/magenta in the bootloader/ directory.



What is This?
-------------

This project contains some experiments in software that runs on UEFI
firmware for the purpose of exploring UEFI development and bootloader
development.

Since UEFI images are in PE32+ file format, we require that our binaries be
position independent executables with no relocations. For the most part this
does not require any extra effort on x86-64, but it does mean that you cannot
statically initialize any variables that hold an address. (These addresses may
be assigned at runtime however.)

External Software Included
--------------------------

Local Path:   third_party/ovmf/...
Description:  UEFI Firmware Suitable for use in Qemu
