EDK II Platforms

EDK II Platforms

Note: new platforms are being developed in the edk2-platforms repository. Some older platforms still reside in the main edk2 repository.

Virtual/Simulated Platforms

• OVMF - UEFI firmware support for the QEMU open source machine emulator and virtualizer.
• Nt32Pkg - enabling UEFI application development in a Microsoft* Windows environment.
• EmulatorPkg - enable UEFI emulation within an OS environment.
• ArmVirtPkg - UEFI emulation for ARM processors.

Intel® Processor Platforms

Recent Intel platform EDK II implementations follow a software architecture intended to aid in uniform delivery of Intel platforms called EDK II Minimum Platform. That architecture is described and maintained in the EDK II Minimum Platform Specification draft. Brief and practical information regarding the goals of a Minimum Platform and how to build are available in the Intel platform Readme.md.

EDK II Minimum Platforms

• Kaby Lake MinPlatform - EDK II platform firmware on 7th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors and chipsets (formerly Kaby Lake platforms).
• Project Olympus (Purley MinPlatform) - EDK II platform firmware for the Open Compute Project (OCP) Intel XSP Motherboard.
• Whiskey Lake MinPlatform - EDK II platform firmware on 8th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors and chipsets (formerly Whiskey Lake platforms).

Other Platforms

• Intel Atom® Processor E3900 Series - Designed for platforms using the Intel Atom® Processor E3900 Series (formerly Apollo Lake). Includes the Leaf Hill CRB, Up Squared, and MinnowBoard 3 Module.
• Intel® Galileo Gen 2 - Arduino* certified, Intel® Quark™ processor, built on fully open-source hardware
• MinnowBoard Max/Turbot - Open hardware platform with open source UEFI firmware, based on the Intel® Atom™ E3800 Series processor.
• UEFI firmware for N-series Intel® Pentium® Processor and Intel® Celeron® Processor Families (IA32 & x64)
• MinnowBoard - Intel® Atom™ E640 processor w/ IA32 UEFI firmware (deprecated)

ARM Processor Platforms

• Beagle Board - low-power open-source hardware single-board computer produced by Texas Instruments.
• Omap35xxPkg provides UEFI support For Texas Instruments OMAP35xx based platforms.
