2018-09-15 –, Workshop
This workshop demonstrates how to use the Intel® UEFI Development Kit (Intel® UDK) Debugger with GNU Debugger (GDB) to debug UEFI drivers and platform firmware in a Linux environment. Exercises are based on EFI Development Kit II (EDK II) firmware for the Open Virtual Machine Firmware (OVMF) project.
Participants will set up an EDK II development environment for Linux, build a UEFI driver, and debug firmware issues using Linux and QEMU. The workshop demonstrates debug capabilities built into EDK II and how they work with UEFI drivers and platform firmware:
• Use the Platform Configuration Database (PCD) to configure debug features
• How to debug the various phases of UEFI firmware
• Build a UEFI Driver with Debug Symbols
• Build a UEFI Driver with Heap Guard Enabled

Brian Richardson is Technical Evangelist & Senior Technical Marketing Engineer at Intel.
He has spent most of his career as a “BIOS guy,” working on the firmware that quietly boots billions of computers. He has focused on the industry transition to the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) and supporting the TianoCore open source community. Brian has presented at various conferences and seminars, including LinuxCon and Embedded Systems Conference. When he’s not talking about firmware at conferences, Brian takes photos of his travels and procrastinates on various video projects.
Stephano has been working on Embedded Linux for the past 6 years and recently joined the firmware group at Intel contributing to TianoCore, ChipSec, and MicroPython. His main focus is on community engagement and improving the developer experience. In his free time he enjoys exploring the thermal tolerances of various electronic circuits.
Laurie Jarlstrom has a BSCS and is currently a senior technical marketing engineer at Intel. She started at Intel in 1993 and has been working as a BIOS / Firmware engineer throughout her career. Her current projects include working with the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Intel team in developing training material, managing technical content on the www.tianocore.org open source EFI Development Kit (EDK II) project, providing technical presentations and support for UEFI and EDK II for developing firmware at Intel.
