<\/p>\nIntroducing Project Mu
\n<\/p>\n
The Microsoft Devices Team is excited to announce\u202f<\/span><\/span>Project Mu<\/span><\/span><\/a>, the open-source release of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) core leveraged by Microsoft products including both Surface and the latest releases of Hyper-V.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>UEFI is system software that initializes hardware during the boot process and provides services for the operating system to load. Project Mu contributes numerous UEFI features targeted at modern Windows based PCs.\u202fIt also demonstrates a code structure and development process for efficiently building scalable and serviceable firmware. These enhancements allow Project Mu devices to support Firmware as a Service (<\/span><\/span>FaaS<\/span><\/span>). Similar to Windows as a Service, Firmware as a Service optimizes UEFI and other system firmware for timely quality patches that keep firmware up to date and enables efficient development of post-launch features.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n When first enabling\u00a0FaaS\u00a0on Surface, we learned that the open source UEFI\u00a0implementation\u00a0TianoCore<\/a>\u202fwas not optimized for rapid servicing across multiple product lines. We spent several product cycles iterating on\u00a0FaaS, and have now published the result as free, open source\u202fProject Mu<\/a>!\u202fWe are hopeful that the ecosystem will incorporate these ideas and code, as well as provide us with ongoing feedback to continue improvements.<\/p>\n We look forward to engagements with the ecosystem as we continue to evolve and improve Project Mu to our mutual benefit!<\/p>\n Check out Project Mu Documentation and Code here:\u202fhttps:\/\/microsoft.github.io\/mu\/<\/a><\/p>\n The post Introducing Project Mu<\/a> appeared first on Windows Blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source: Introducing Project Mu<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Introducing Project Mu The Microsoft Devices Team is excited to announce\u202fProject Mu, the open-source release of the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) core leveraged by Microsoft products including both Surface and the latest releases of Hyper-V.\u00a0UEFI is system software that initializes hardware during the boot process and provides services for the operating system to load.
