UEFI
From Free Pascal wiki
Motivations behind this target
Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) now replace BIOS in most current PCs.
Currently, there is two main options to develop UEFI applications :
- Tianocore : http://www.tianocore.org/ - gnu-efi : http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnu-efi/
Both solutions require a tedious setup process.
Thank to his internal linker, Freepascal can become the easiest option to develop UEFI applications, as no external tools would be required to start hacking.
