Rationale

• Separate EDK2 kernel from silicon code
• Increase modularity of system.
• Decrease code complexity for security.

Scope

• Scope of the project including limitations.

Goals/Objectives

• Phase 1
  • Seperate EDK2 kernel from silicon code
  • Seperate Silicon code from platform code
• Phase 2
  • Establish LTS team for EDK2 in conjunction with Intel
  • Backport CVE (and other security patches) to EDK2 kernel code (and relevant open source silicon/platform)

Target Hardware Platforms

• Implement for SBSA QEMU Machine as the simplest hardware platform

Deliverables

• List of final outputs of project

Validation Plan

• ServerReady test suite to be run against firmware on QEMU SBSA Machine
• Other relevant testsuites to be investigated

Resourcing

• Phase 1
  • 1 Futurewei LT engineer + 1 additional member engineer
• Phase 2
  • 2 Member engineers from Linaro + engineers from Intel for LTS team
