# UEFI Linux
|
|
No, this projects aim is *not* booting Linux from UEFI (which is already possible), but instead to <u>emulate</u> basic Linux system calls within the UEFI environment.
|
|
|
|
## Why???
|
|
For fun. Nothing else. It this project would, in theory, eventually allow you to use any Linux C library in the UEFI environment.
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
Implemented:
|
|
- Console I/O
|
|
- File I/O
|
|
- Directory I/O
|
|
- Basic memory management (mmap/munmap)
|
|
- Time keeping (gettimeofday/select)
|
|
- Exit/Reboot/Poweroff
|
|
- Basic signals (`getpid()` returns a PID that can be `kill()`ed)
|
|
- System call emulation through function call
|
|
|
|
Planned:
|
|
- Networking
|
|
|
|
Won't happen:
|
|
- Multhreading
|
|
- `syscall` instruction emulation
|
|
|
|
## Misc
|
|
This is purely a showcase, not a library meant for production use. I will give no support of any kind, but I'm happy to answer any development related questions you may have.
