1st Wave Enabling Program
The EFI Framework Readiness Solution

Key Features

Designed to help engineers quickly learn about the
next-generation BIOS replacement technology

Offers early access to source code along with
development tools, sample pre-boot applications
and a hardware platform

Accelerates the development of new designs leveraging
the Intel Platform Innovation Framework for EFI

Helps to drive OEM production differentiation through
knowledge of the EFI Framework development
environment

The 1st Wave program is designed to enable PC OEMs with tools, training, support, and software to bring their engineering teams the knowledge to pursue and deploy next generation designs leveraging the Intel Platform Innovation Framework for EFI and Insyde Software’s implementation of this technology known as InsydeH2O.
