Hello all,
I am highly interestd in implementing C compiler for EFI Byte Code in
gcc and participate in Google Summer Code.
EFI is a much larger, more complex,OS-like replacement for the older BIOS
firmware interface present in all IBM PC-compatible personal computers.
and the EFI specification provides for a processor-independent device
driver environment(like virtualmachine), called EFI Byte Code or EBC.
Intel(R) C Compiler for EFI Byte Code, the only one C compiler for EFI
Byte Code
(http://sx.intel.com/p-553-intel-c-compiler-for-efi-byte-code.aspx)
is not open source, and also a pay software.
So i am wondering whether this kind of idea is valuable to the gcc
community? or are there any other related ideas is more valuable?
thanks
