Understanding UEFI
UEFI (Unified Enhanced Firmware Interface) is a specification that defines a new interface and
architecture for the system firmware that initializes server hardware subsystems before starting the OS
boot process. It is now touted as a long-term successor to the BIOS system, which has been part of the
x86 system architecture since its inception. Keep reading to understand more about its strengths and
challenges.
Origins of UEFI
UEFI began as EFI, or the Enhanced Firmware Interface, and it was first proposed for the development
of the Intel Itanium-based systems in the late 1990s. Because the Itanium architecture was essentially
starting from scratch, there wasn’t much downside to defining
a new firmware architecture for it. UEFI
has grown out of a desire to extend this new firmware architecture to x86-based systems.
