A decade has passed since the posting https://vzimmer.blogspot.com/2014/01/advances-in-platform-firmware-beyond.html describing the journey of Tiano https://www.researchgate.net/publication/377810413_TechnologyIntel_Magazine_-_Advances_in_Platform_Firmware_Beyond_BIOS_and_Across_all_Intel_R_Silicon, which at the time was Intel Framework based specifications and the EDK implementation. As such, this month makes 20 years since the article landed on the internet.
The write-up was curiously available in several languages:
English - https://github.com/vincentjzimmer/Documents/blob/master/it01043_eng.pdf
Portuguese - https://github.com/vincentjzimmer/Documents/blob/master/it01043_pg.pdf
Japanese - https://github.com/vincentjzimmer/Documents/blob/master/it01043_j.pdf
Russian - https://github.com/vincentjzimmer/Documents/blob/master/it01043_ru.pdf
Spanish - https://github.com/vincentjzimmer/Documents/blob/master/it01043_sp.pdf
Chinese - https://github.com/vincentjzimmer/Documents/blob/master/it01043_cn.pdf
Today the EDK https://sourceforge.net/projects/edkit/ has become https://github.com/tianocore/edk2 and the Framework https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/architecture-and-technology/unified-extensible-firmware-interface/efi-specifications-general-technology.html corpus is UEFI PI https://uefi.org/specs/PI/1.8/index.html. The OS-visible interface has gone from EFI 1.10 https://www.intel.com/content/dam/doc/product-specification/efi-v1-10-specification.pdf to UEFI https://uefi.org/specs/UEFI/2.10/, too.
Given the amount of change over this interval, I always have a tough time refreshing the graphic
Many interesting twists and turns on this journey that started in the late 90's and still continues as we step into the year 2024.
