How To Build A Modern Laptop using ODP

This section will present a series of practical examples for creating ODP components for the embedded controller using a commodity-level development board to serve as an ersatz MCU SoC, and implementing a Patina DXE Core and bootloader to start up an operating system on a QEMU host that communicates with the EC. This is done through a series of practical exercises that stand alone as development examples, and come together in the end to create a credible, working integration.

These exercises will:

• build components for the embedded controller
  • battery, charger and power policy
  • thermal and sensors
  • connectivity
  • security architectures
• build components for the DXE Core
  • example component
  • firmware security
  • EC coordination
• integrate the components into a system
  • set up QEMU as a virtual host
  • use Patina firmware to boot this virtual host into Windows
  • coordinate between the boot firmware and the embedded controller
  • use runtime services to interact with EC services
  • implement and explore security firmware and architectures
