Difference between Legacy
BIOS and UEFI Framework
The Value of Framework
� Why switch to the Framework?
� Standard industry-wide architectural interfaces via open specs
� “C” vs. Assembly – more efficient software design
� Reusable S/W modules – write firmware once
� Better support for pre-boot applications – built-in EFI environment
� What benefits does the Framework offer?
� Removes dependency on one BIOS/Firmware vendor or proprietary code base
� Creates more efficient engineering teams
� Code developed once can be shared among many projects – same source code
� Leverages pre-boot environment to drive product innovation

Industry Transition to
EFI and “The Framework”
• Intel Mobile, Desktop, Server and Embedded groups adopting Framework for new platforms, reference boards
• Chipset vendors moving to Framework + UEFI Specs
• Apple Selected Framework as “firmware of choice” for Intel based machines
• Microsoft committed to EFI/UEFI support with Vista
– Windows Server 2008 & Vista support native UEFI boot
• UEFI.org formed, managing new specs11 Promoter Companies: AMD, AMI, Apple, DELL, HP, IBM, Intel, Insyde, Lenovo, Microsoft and Phoenix
• Tianocore.org – open source components available
• Leading OEMs and ODMs shipping now!
Product Overview
InsydeH2OTM
• InsydeH2O is written mostly in “C” allowing flexibility in utilizing a larger pool of engineering resources
• InsydeH2O is modular enabling faster migration from platform to platform & with less engineering resources
• InsydeH2O is economical as processor & chipset modules are licensed once & can be used many times
• Support for the popular American Arium JTAG Debugger
• InsydeH2O is fully EFI 1.1 and UEFI 2.x compatible
• Legacy Operating Systems Support (Compatibility Support)
InsydeH2O is beyond Framework in many ways
InsydeDIYTM
• Unique “Do-It-Yourself” Firmware Solution
• Royalty-free business model facilitates in-house development of EFI Firmware
• Lightweight, easy to implement and cost effective
• Reduces overall project development time
• H2ODDT™ built-in software debugger and support for the American Arium JTAG Debugger
• Seamless transition path to full InsydeH2O Framework solution
InsydeDIY is an optimal solution for many Linux devices
How to choose
