C2EFI Script 🥂

A script designed to automate the process of compiling, testing, and creating bootable UEFI applications using the GNU-EFI library. It simplifies the workflow by integrating dynamic input, automated compilation, and optional testing in QEMU.

Requirements

• GCC

  • Install using sudo apt install gcc in Debian/Ubuntu

• GNU-EFI Library:

  • Install using your package manager (e.g., sudo apt install gnu-efi on Debian/Ubuntu).

• QEMU (optional):

  • For testing the application in a virtual environment. QEMU Install

Steps

1. Place your UEFI source file (e.g., main.c) in the working directory.

2. Run the script using:

   sudo bash ./run.sh
   

3. Provide the following inputs when prompted:

   • Path to the source .c file.
   • Paths to GNU-EFI libraries and headers.
   • Note: It is always recommended to use /usr/include/efi as Header GNU-EFI wiki

4. Finally, you will be prompted to live-run (test) .efi on QEMU
