kandi X-RAY | POSIX-UEFI Summary

POSIX-UEFI is a C library typically used in Embedded System applications. POSIX-UEFI has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitLab.

We hate that horrible and ugly UEFI API, we want the usual POSIX!. This is a very small build environment that helps you to develop for UEFI under Linux (and other POSIX systems). It was greatly inspired by [gnu-efi] (big big kudos to those guys), but it is a lot smaller, easier to integrate (works with LLVM Clang and GNU gcc both) and easier to use because it provides a POSIX like API for your UEFI application. An UEFI environment consist of two parts: a firmware with GUID protocol interfaces and a user library. We cannot change the former, but we can make the second friendlier. That’s what POSIX-UEFI does for your application. It is a small API wrapper library around the GUID protocols, not a fully blown POSIX compatible libc implementation.

Unable to start the windows boot manager with StartImage()

QUESTION

Unable to start the windows boot manager with StartImage()

Asked 2021-Aug-14 at 08:59

I'm writing my own bootloader and I want to be able to boot Windows (and Linux).

bootmgfw.efi is the windows bootloader and I'm trying to load and start it with UEFI functions LoadImage() and StartImage(), but after calling StartImage() on it, I get EFI_INVALID_PARAMETER error, even though I checked that the image handle is valid and LoadImage() didn't return an error status.

I am able to start other EFI applications with the same code but bootmgfw.efi is the only one that doesn't start, though I am able to start it in the UEFI Shell just fine.

Here is some context to show what I do. I'm using POSIX-UEFI to write my code.

I got the solution here. Turns out I really was passing the incorrect device path to LoadImage(). https://forum.osdev.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=50623
