BIOS or UEFI? Let me start from the beginning.

Code.

Code at its atomic level is a codex provided by 80x86 in terms of 80x86 compatible machines.

You cannot run 80x86 on a plain device, you first need an (O)perating (S)ystem, more specifically you need a (P)ortable (E)xecutable like file format.

The (PE) is made up of DATA and CODE.

DATA consists of:

- Headers

- Fields Sizes Addresses and Ordinals

- Import and Export tables

- Other stuff I am too basic to be familiar with

CODE consists of:

BINARIES, mostly in functional format, where upon copying them and jumping at the beginning of them you can in a sense provide arguments and make them do stuff.

Finally booting, unlike a (P)ortable (E)xecutable the booting process should be as easy a loading a custom binary onto the system, as little as 512 bytes.

(UEFI) Unified Russian Firmware Interface is everything but simple.

Steps to boot from UEFI include:

- Download EFI or EFI2 or UEFI github project for windows whose apparent author appears to be a tranny company by the name of Tianocore

- After the download run the SETUP

- After the the SETUP run the BUILD

- After the BUILD run something I forgot what it is

- If you do not get a single error, you're the luckiest individual in the entire fucking world

- Finally locate the .lib files

- Create C/C++ EFI/UEFI entry point which appears to have multiple variations

- Include the library in various C/C++ fields in your IDE

- After wasting whole bunch of percentages of your life, build

- If the build is successful, which it should be if you closely synchronized your actions with ChatGPT

- You should have an actual file from which you can boot from

- Your UEFI only BIOS still won't be able to process it cause it is not signed by an authority certificate

Welcome to 2023, enjoy the good times.
