![]() Used mostly for SLIC-related modifications, but it not limited to this task. Windows-only freeware GUI application written in C#. Go-based cross-platform open source toolset for modifying UEFI firmware images. Does not support any IBV customizations, but is official, and lives in EDK2 repository. Python-based open source toolset for modifying EDK2-based UEFI firmware images. Right now there are some alternatives to UEFITool that you could find useful too: UEFIFind, which uses ffsParser to find image elements containing a specified pattern.Jethro Beekman's tree utility can be used to work with the extracted tree. UEFIExtract, which uses ffsParser to parse supplied firmware image into a tree structure and dumps the parsed structure recursively on the FS.There are some other projects that use UEFITool's engine: The missing parts are in development and the version with a new engine will be made as soon as image reconstruction works again. Editor part, i.e image reconstruction routines.It's in development right now with the following features still missing: In the beginning of 2015 the major refactoring round was started to make the program compatible with newer UEFI features including FFSv3 volumes and fixed image elements. ![]() Project development started in the middle of 2013 because of the lack of cross-platform open source utilities for tinkering with UEFI images. UEFITool is a cross-platform open source application written in C++/Qt, that parses UEFI-compatible firmware image into a tree structure, verifies image's integrity and provides a GUI to manipulate image's elements. ![]() More information on UEFI is available on UEFI Forum official site and in Wikipedia. In 2015 there are numerous systems using UEFI-compatible firmware including PCs, Macs, Tablets and Smartphones on x86, x86-64 and ARM architectures. The first EFI-compatible x86 firmwares were used on Apple Macintosh systems in 2006 and PC motherboard vendors started putting UEFI-compatible firmwares on their boards in 2011. ![]() Unified Extensible Firmware Interface or UEFI is a post-BIOS firmware specification originally written by Intel for Itanium architecture and than adapted for X86 systems. UEFITool is a viewer and editor of firmware images conforming to UEFI Platform Interface (PI) Specifications. ![]()
