It is a generic term I&#039;m using to describe the first thing the CPU starts at boot time. On your typical &lt;tt&gt;x86_64&lt;/tt&gt; system, it would be what was previously called the &#039;&#039;BIOS&#039;&#039;. Now often diminutively called by the name &#039;&#039;EFI&#039;&#039;. This is what initializes enough of the hardware so that the operating system can start. Additionally, it often provides facilities for the user to do basic configuration, and manage boot options.</div> FuzzyBot
