EDK II is TianoCore's open-source, cross-platform firmware development environment implementing the UEFI and PI specifications. It provides the packages, libraries, and build tooling needed to develop platform firmware such as OVMF and other UEFI implementations.
Use cases
- build custom UEFI firmware for a hardware platform
- compile OVMF virtual machine firmware
- develop UEFI drivers and applications
- experiment with UEFI features on real hardware
- implement a PI-compliant platform firmware
When to choose
- you are developing UEFI or PI firmware for a platform
- you need an open-source reference implementation of UEFI
- you want to build OVMF or emulator firmware for testing
When to avoid
- you need a simple bootloader rather than full UEFI firmware
- you are writing application-level software that only consumes UEFI services
- you need a turnkey BIOS product with vendor support
