Worked on asset optimization for firmware platforms, focusing on reducing bitmap asset sizes in the NVIDIA/edk2-platforms and tianocore/edk2-platforms repositories. Applied image processing and C programming skills to convert keyboard and icon BMP assets from 24-bit to paletted formats, achieving substantial reductions in file size while maintaining original visuals and layout. Leveraged embedded systems knowledge to ensure compatibility with existing BaseBmpSupportLib and the GopBlt translation path. These optimizations improved firmware storage efficiency and reduced load and boot times, supporting faster initialization and distribution without altering user experience or requiring changes to pixel dimensions or asset layouts.
Monthly summary for 2026-04: Asset optimizations across two EDK2 platforms delivering measurable storage and load-time improvements while preserving visuals. Implemented 4-bit paletted BMPs for keyboard assets in NVIDIA/edk2-platforms and 1-bit/8-bit paletted BMPs for SimpleIcon and FullIcon in tianocore/edk2-platforms. Pixel dimensions and layout remain unchanged, enabling faster firmware initialization and lower distribution footprint. Key commits include 5fb97816fccc88d0623dc5726a7936bb9b5edf89 and 621970f3a6b112383d8167658ccbef8e85ee5d53.
