- Barebones Note: what is UEFI?
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) is a replacement of BIOS (Basic Input/Output System).
- BIOS
BIOS is basic firmware to boot-up computers, to perform hardware initialization, Created by IBM.
IBM's BIOS was originally proprietary to the IBM PC but was reverse engineered by companies seeking to make IBM PC compatible PC's
- UEFI
UEFI is a replacement of IBM's BIOS, UEFI is an open standard and IBM's BIOS is proprietary.
UEFI also has advantages such as support for x86 (normal desktop) and ARM processors (raspberry pi, phones, etc.), UEFI also has support for C and python programming allowing programs such as emulators to be coded for it.
- CHIP-8
- Nintendo
