This week, at the Intel Development Forum in San Francisco, we are announcing the upcoming availability of UEFI support in the Simics source code debugger. It is thus a good time to talk a bit more about UEFI and UEFI debug.
UEFI is the modern BIOS standard that is finally starting to replace classic BIOS in PCs and related machines. It provides for much more powerful and modular BIOSes, as well as secure booting and other important modern firmware features. For quite a few years now, Intel reference BIOSes for new platforms (like Crystal Forest, Tunnel Creek, and Haswell) have been built using UEFI, and the Simics models for these platforms have been tested using these reference BIOSes.
