uefi-rs
A Rust crate providing safe, convenient, and performant abstractions for UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) development.
What is uefi-rs?
uefi-rs is a Rust library that provides safe and ergonomic abstractions for the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). It allows developers to write firmware, bootloaders, and other low-level applications that run in the UEFI environment using Rust's memory safety features. The crate transforms raw, unsafe UEFI C APIs into idiomatic Rust interfaces, reducing the risk of bugs and security vulnerabilities in system software.
System programmers, firmware developers, and OS developers working on UEFI-based projects who want to leverage Rust's safety guarantees for low-level code. It's particularly useful for those building bootloaders, firmware utilities, or embedded applications that run before the operating system loads.
Developers choose uefi-rs because it offers a unique combination of safety, convenience, and performance for UEFI development. Unlike raw C UEFI programming, it eliminates entire classes of memory bugs through Rust's ownership model, while providing high-level abstractions that simplify complex UEFI interactions without runtime overhead.
Overview
Rusty wrapper for the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). This crate makes it easy to develop Rust software that leverages safe, convenient, and performant abstractions for UEFI functionality.
