Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Shell The EFI shell application allows other EFI applications to be launched, EFI device drivers to be loaded, and operating systems to be booted. The combination of the EFI firmware and the EFI Shell provides an environment that can be modified and adapted to many hardware configurations. The EFI shell provides a set of basic commands to manage files and EFI NVRAM shell and boot variables. A list of these basic commands is in Table 7. Extensive information is available on the EFI website at http://developer.intel.com/ technology/efi: • For detailed information about the EFI shell, its commands, and the ability to develop within the environment, see the EFI How-to Guide at http:// developer.intel.com/technology/efi/howto.htm. • For a sample implementation, see http://developer.intel.com/technology/efi/ main_sample.htm • For the EFI Application Toolkit, see http://developer.intel.com/technology/efi/ toolkit_overview.htm. The toolkit helps you develop your own shell commands. Table 7.
