Lattice Semiconductor's $1.65 billion acquisition of American Megatrends (AMI) youtu.be/OaGCB7Sdr9g?t=1104 "Secure management and control for datacenter and AI" - seems like gold rush for controlling hardware directly and controlling virtualization platform is on.. ? (Even they provide they would be customer-agnostic)

Ah so AMI UEFI OS's from AMI now? THankfully we have tianocore FOSS and Seabios as Firmware layer

tiancore/edk2 is a 'reference' uefi implementation, iirc?

that's how I understand it

there is also Patina(opendevicepartnership.github.io/patina), uefi fw developed using rust language

yes

pedja: it's functional enough that everbody simply compiles and uses it with adjustments

edk2? I've seen it used with VM's (qemu/kvm)

and, presumably, it's upstream for various vendor implementations. well, both of them (ami and...award?)

ampere is/was using it as well.

yeah, i'm guessing most probably start with edk2 and customize..

if onyl because that's probably a lot cheaper and faster than writing your own UEFI implementation from scratch

exactly
