Hello everyone. Recently, there was a discussion about the exact scope/boundary of Rust std for UEFI. In this post, I am going to go over the different stages of UEFI and define what std for UEFI aims to target. Additionally, I will go over how the current implementation handles ExitBootServices(). ...more

Hello everyone. While implementing Rust std for UEFI, I came across an interesting problem. The signature of the entry function in Rust did not match the UEFI entry signature. Initially, I just used a hacky way to get things to work. However, later I made some changes to upstream Rust to make generating entry functions with custom signatures much easier. In this post, I will show how to implement generating such an entry function in upstream Rust through the example of UEFI. ...more

It has been quite a while since I gave any updates about Rust std implementation for UEFI. While the Google Summer of Code ended quite a bit ago (it's almost time for GSoC 23), I have been continuing my efforts to merge it upstream. Check out my GSoC 22 Summary Post for a refresher on the project. ...more
