Today, I will talk to you about how to make Linux programs break through the Windows 8 UEFI blockade. Many people may not know much about it. In order to make you understand better, the editor has summarized the following for you. I hope you can get something according to this article.

We all know that the upcoming Windows 8 system has locked the UEFI (Unified Extensible firmware Interface) Secure Boot, which means that it is not easy to install Linux and even Windows 7 and XP on top of the Windows 8 system. James Bottomley, chairman of the Linux Foundation, has released an Intel Tianocore UEFI boot mirroring platform and code that allows Linux programs to bypass Windows 8 Secure Boot restrictions.

There is no doubt that Bottomley's project is very important, Bottomley said: "We will provide a more interesting platform for more people to experience the charm of UEFI Secure boot, to which the technical consultants of the Linux Foundation have begun to make the process easier and can use UEFI Secure Boot on the hardware around them at any time."

This Intel Tianocore image is not only aimed at Linux developers, but many OEM vendors have expressed interest. Bottomley said: "We are releasing this startup image because UEFI Secure Boot has shown a heating up phenomenon, but because Linux does not account for much of the market, and there is no dedicated UEFI secure boot hardware, we provide a virtual platform for players to try a variety of interesting solutions."

"the boot image is just beginning, and the internal features are not perfect, so we still have a long way to go," Bottomley said. "
