## What it is
An open-source EDK2-based UEFI firmware implementation for Rockchip RK3588 SoC boards, providing a PC-like standardized boot experience. It supports booting multiple operating systems including Windows 11, Linux, BSD, and VMware ESXi via ACPI.

## Use cases
- boot windows 11 on rock 5b
- install uefi firmware on orange pi 5
- boot linux with acpi on rk3588 board
- run vmware esxi on rk3588 single board computer
- replace vendor bootloader with uefi on nano pc t6
- standard pc-like boot for arm sbc

## When to choose
- you want to boot mainstream OSes like Windows or BSD on an RK3588 board
- you need ACPI-based boot instead of device-tree bootloaders like U-Boot
- your board is on the supported Platinum or Bronze device list

## When to avoid
- your board uses a different SoC than RK3588
- you need a minimal headless bootloader and prefer U-Boot or vendor firmware
- your specific board variant is unsupported or lacks SPI flash storage
