Book Description

This book is the perfect introduction and daily-use field guide - for the thousands of firmware designers, hardware engineers, architects, managers, and developers--to Intel's new firmware direction (including Quark coverage), showing how to integrate Intel® Architecture designs into their plans.

Featuring hands-on examples and exercises using Open Source codebases, like Coreboot and EFI Development Kit (tianocore) and Chromebook, this is the first book that combines a timely and thorough overview of firmware solutions for the rapidly evolving embedded ecosystem with in-depth coverage of requirements and optimization.

What you’ll learn:

1. Understand the key differences between PC and embedded ecosystems in terms of firmware needs.
2. Thorough underpinning of Intel’s firmware solutions.
3. How to build a firmware stack for Quark.
4. How to integrate FSP with a bootloader, by studying the hands-on example of Coreboot and UEFI.
5. How to make a smart "build-it or buy-it" decision when starting a new embedded project.
