Slim Bootloader
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
**Welcome to the Slim Bootloader project!**
|
|
|
|
Slim Bootloader is an open-source boot firmware solution, built from the
|
|
ground up to be secure, lightweight, and highly optimized while leveraging
|
|
robust tools and libraries from the [EDK II](https://www.tianocore.org/edk2/)
|
|
framework.
|
|
|
|
What is a Bootloader?
|
|
---------------------
|
|
Just like a typical [BIOS](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS), Slim Bootloader
|
|
is the piece of software responsible for initializing the core hardware
|
|
components of the system when it is powered on, followed by the loading and
|
|
launching of the desired operating system.
|
|
|
|
Slim Bootloader offers the flexibility for OEMs, device manufacturers, and hobbyists
|
|
to isolate, configure, and optimize for the the specific requirements of the system
|
|
thereby achieving unparalleled boot performance and minimizing firmware footprint.
|
