Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

A five-part tutorial series introduces experienced Linux developers to bare-metal programming on PCs with UEFI firmware, assuming no prior UEFI knowledge. The articles, intended to be read in sequence, cover compiling and linking, the EFI system partition, creating bootable DVD or USB flash images, a pragmatic digression, and handling files via the Simple File Protocol. Each installment builds on the previous ones, so reading out of order may make the material difficult to follow. The series matters as a structured entry point for Linux developers moving into low-level firmware work. Readers should watch for the remaining parts to be published in order.
