Description

Feature Overview

Reduce or remove the requirement that DXE architectural protocols must be produced for the DXE Core. Allow an alternative mechanism using Rust services.

Solution Overview
  • Suggest services required if Rust services are used
    • The service APIs and platform dependencies to produce the service
  • How DXE architectural protocol compatibility is maintained for C drivers that depend on the protocols
