TianoCore EDK II is an open-source project that provides a modern, feature-rich, and stable environment for developing, building, and testing UEFI applications, including operating system loaders, boot managers, and various utilities. The project is a continuation of the Intel EDK II (EFI Developer Kit II) and is maintained by the TianoCore community. It is licensed under the BSD license, which allows for both open-source and proprietary use.

The EDK II environment includes a set of tools and libraries for UEFI development, such as the EDK II build system, the UEFI Shell, and the UEFI Debugger. It also provides a range of sample applications and drivers that demonstrate how to use the UEFI APIs and services. The project is designed to be portable and can be used on a variety of platforms, including x86, x86_64, ARM, and AArch64.

TianoCore EDK II is widely used in the industry for developing UEFI-based firmware and software. It is also used in academia for teaching and research purposes. The project is actively maintained and updated, with regular releases and a vibrant community of developers and contributors. It is an essential tool for anyone working with UEFI and is a valuable resource for the open-source community.
