Building
Nightly toolchain
Rust's nightly toolchain is currently required because uefi-rs uses some unstable features.
The easiest way to set this up is using a rustup toolchain file. In
the root of your repository, add rust-toolchain.toml
:
[toolchain]
channel = "nightly"
targets = ["x86_64-unknown-uefi"]
Here we have specified the x86_64-unknown-uefi
target; there are also
i686-unknown-uefi
and aarch64-unknown-uefi
targets available.
Note that nightly releases can sometimes break, so you might opt to pin
to a specific release. For example, channel = "nightly-2022-11-10"
.
Build the application
Run this command to build the application:
cargo build --target x86_64-unknown-uefi
This will produce an x86-64 executable:
target/x86_64-unknown-uefi/debug/my-uefi-app.efi
.
