The article was written in 2004, but It's news to me, which is why I'm posting it.
Introducing the Intel Platform Innovation Framework for the Extensible Firmware
This is written by the author of "Beyond BIOS", from Intel Press.
Overview:
1. Why BIOS exists, and why OS needs BIOS services
2. Flow of the Framework (or is it EFI?) execution during system boot
3. Briefly on the driver structure in the Framework and driver authentication
4. Briefly on several stages of the Framework (EFI?) execution
The article presents a nice summary, but you really need a good knowledge of the legacy BIOS to understand the dramatic advantages Framework and EFI offers.
I suspect the book is a better source of information, since it has been written 2 years after the article.
