Common Firmware Handoff Design: Universal Payload Specification
This presentation will provide a brief update on what is Universal Payload Design (UPL), and most importantly the journey there: as the UPL is a cross-projects Firmware Industrial Standard for the first time ever, where Silicon vendors and firmware communities (EDK2, coreboot, U-Boot, LinuxBoot, Slim Bootloader) come together to work on common open specification. We will share the technical part of what UPL is, and the impacts it will bring to open source firmware industry. Then we will share the 1 year journey of how this came together and many roadblocks faced, it would be a valuable sharing for open system firmware community.
