What is the EDK Project?
The EDK is the open-source part of the Intel Platform Innovation Framework for EFI (for a good overview of the Framework see www.intel.com/technology/efi/efi.htm ). The EDK includes the “Foundation Code” of the Framework, as well as sample drivers and project-specific build tools. The Foundation code represents the core interoperability interfaces between modules and the Framework. The PEI Foundation supports silicon-support modules that are required during the first phase of system initialization, and DXE Foundation supports drivers, including drivers that implement portions of the Framework like PCI and USB, and drivers for various devices on boards. The Foundation code is ‘the green H’ that Intel has shown in multiple IDF presentations on EFI.
