EFIBinaries

EFIBinaries is a repository and collection of UEFI executable binaries (.efi) intended for use on UEFI-based computers. It curates boot loaders, drivers, and utility applications in the Portable Executable format used by UEFI, providing a centralized resource for commonly used EFI binaries across hardware and firmware versions. The project supports scenarios such as creation of installation media, recovery environments, and custom tooling for system maintenance.

Binaries in EFIBinaries are organized by architecture, typically including IA-32, x86-64, and ARM64, and are labeled with their purpose, version, and build details. Each .efi is a PE/COFF image loaded directly by the system firmware through the UEFI boot process. Contents can span boot managers, drivers, diagnostic utilities, and miscellaneous utilities designed to run in the pre-boot environment.

Distribution and usage: EFIBinaries serves developers, IT professionals, and enthusiasts who work with EFI-based systems. Binaries can be downloaded and placed on the EFI System Partition or incorporated into bootable media, such as installation images or救 recovery media, to streamline pre-boot operations.

Security and licensing: Secure Boot considerations are a central topic, with many binaries requiring valid signatures or trusted keys to boot on systems with secure boot enabled. Licenses vary by component, so users should review the licensing terms for each item and ensure compatibility with their environment.
