It will return 64 for a 64-bit (x86_64) UEFI or 32 for a 32-bit (IA32) UEFI. On distributions running Linux kernel 4.0 or newer, the UEFI firmware bitness can be found via the sysfs interface. The firmware bitness can be checked from a booted operating system. For example, GRUB when installed with the i386-efi target. Note: Systems with IA32 UEFI require using a boot loader that supports mixed mode booting. Therefore the EFI application must be compiled for that specific firmware processor bitness/architecture.

The only known devices that use IA32 (32-bit) UEFI are older (pre 2008) Apple Macs, Intel Atom System-on-Chip systems (as on 2 November 2013) and some older Intel server boards that are known to operate on Intel EFI 1.10 firmware.Īn x86_64 UEFI firmware does not include support for launching 32-bit EFI applications (unlike x86_64 Linux and Windows versions which include such support). The vast majority of UEFI firmwares, including recent Apple Macs, use x86_64 UEFI firmware. a memory testing or recovery tool), should be a EFI application corresponding to the UEFI firmware bitness/architecture. Under UEFI, every program whether it is an OS loader or a utility (e.g. The latest UEFI specification can be found at. Unless stated explicitly, these instructions are general and some of them may not work or may be different in Apple Macs. This kind of firmware does not fall under any one (U)EFI specification and therefore is not a standard UEFI firmware.

Apple's EFI implementation is neither a EFI 1.x version nor UEFI 2.x version but mixes up both.

Unless specified as EFI 1.x, EFI and UEFI terms are used interchangeably to denote UEFI 2.x firmware.

Later, a group of companies called the UEFI Forum took over its development, which renamed it as Unified EFI starting with version 2.0.

UEFI started as Intel's EFI in versions 1.x.

9.10 UEFI boot entry disappears after removing its referenced drive.

The program is meant to work with BIOS images, not some vendor-specific BIOS update files, that is why some of that update file either cant be opened at all or return errors on reconstruction.

It's on my high priority features list, so I hope it will be corrected soon.

Some images may not work after modification because of no FIT table support implemented yet.

Some images has non-standard calculation of base address of TE images, so the program can rebase them incorrectly after modifications.

Don't rush it, because reconstruction process can also generate some usefull messages, which will be lost if you open the reconstructed file immediatelly. If anything goes wrong on the reconstruction, an error will pop up, otherwise the program will prompt if you need to open the reconstructed file. After you've finished the modifications, you need to initiate image reconstruction using Save image file command from the File menu.
