IMicrosoft imemezele uhlobo lomthombo ovulekile we-UEFI kernel

 

I-Microsoft inephrojekthi entsha yomthombo ovulekile - Project Mu. Lena inguqulo yomthombo ovulekile yenkampani ye-Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) okwamanje esetshenziswa amadivayisi we-Surface kanye ne-Hyper-V.

Ngale phrojekthi, iMicrosoft inethemba lokuthi izokwenza kube lula ukudala i-firmware eqinile, esebenzayo, futhi yamukela umbono weFirmware Njengesevisi (FaaS). Lokhu kuvumela isibuyekezo se-firmware esisheshayo nesisebenza kahle ngemva kokwethulwa, ngakho kokubili iziqephu zokuphepha nezibuyekezo ezithuthukisa ukusebenza.

I-FaaS yinto iMicrosoft eseyivele inikwe amandla ku-Surface, kodwa inkampani yabona ukuthi i-TianoCore - ukuqaliswa komthombo ovulekile we-UEFI - ayizange ilungiselelwe ukunikeza isevisi ecacile. Yilapho i-Project Mu ingasiza khona, kusho inkampani.

Ku-GitHub, iMicrosoft inikeza incazelo elandelayo evela kuProjekthi Mu:

I-Project Mu iwukujwayela okujwayelekile kwe-edk2 kusuka ku-TianoCore eshuniwe ukuze kwakhiwe izingxenyekazi zekhompuyutha zesimanje kusetshenziswa isitayela esingaka, esilondolozekayo nesisebenziseka kabusha. U-Mu wakha eduze nombono wokuthi ukushaja  kanye nokugcinwa  Umkhiqizo we-UEFI uwukubambisana okuqhubekayo phakathi kozakwethu abambalwa. Isikhathi eside, imboni iye yakha imikhiqizo isebenzisa imodeli "ye-forking" ehlanganiswe nekhophi / yokunamathisela / ukuqamba kabusha, futhi ngomkhiqizo omusha ngamunye, umthwalo wokunakekela ukhula ufinyelele ezingeni elinjalo kangangokuthi ukubuyekezwa cishe akunakwenzeka ngenxa yezindleko nobungozi.

I-Project Mu iphinde izame ukubhekana nobudlelwano bebhizinisi obuyinkimbinkimbi nezinselele zomthetho ozakwethu ababhekana nazo namuhla. Ukuze kwakhiwe imikhiqizo eminingi, ngokuvamile idinga imithombo evaliwe nempahla yobunikazi, kanye nomthombo ovulekile kanye nekhodi evamile yomkhakha. Isistimu yokwakha esabalalisiwe kanye nedizayini enezinqolobane eziningi ivumela amaqembu omkhiqizo ukuthi agcine ikhodi ehlukile futhi exhunywe kumthombo wawo wangempela kuyilapho ehlonipha imingcele yezomthetho neyezohwebo.

I-Project Mu yaqalwa ekwakhiweni kwama-Windows PC esimanje kodwa izitayela nemiklamo yawo iwavumela ukuthi ehliswe noma ashintshwe nganoma iyiphi injongo yomkhiqizo wokugcina. Ubuchwepheshe be-IoT, Iseva, i-PC, nanoma iyiphi enye into kufanele ikwazi ukusizakala ngokuqukethwe.

Encwadini yebhulogi ene-Project Mu, ithimba le-Microsoft hardware labelana ngemininingwane yezici zephrojekthi:

• Isakhiwo sesofthiwe esithuthukisiwe nenqubo yokuthuthukisa ye-firmware njengesevisi
• Ikhibhodi ekusikrini
• Ukuphathwa okuphephile kwezilungiselelo ze-UEFI
• Thuthukisa ukuphepha ngokususa ikhodi endala engadingekile, umkhuba owaziwa ngokuthi ukunciphisa indawo yokuhlasela
• izicathulo zokusebenza eziphezulu
• Izibonelo Zakamuva Zemenyu ye-BIOS
• Ukuhlolwa okuningi namathuluzi okuhlaziya nokwenza ngcono ikhwalithi ye-UEFI
