Apr 1, 2025

Month: 2025-04 — Delivered key UEFI testing tooling for AOSC-Dev/aosc-os-abbs. Implemented edk2-test package with build scripts and definitions, plus a post-install script to deploy the UEFI System Configuration Tool (SCT) to the EFI System Partition. Ensured correct build and installation across supported architectures. No major bugs fixed this month. Business impact: accelerates UEFI testing, reduces manual SCT deployment time, and improves cross-architecture reliability. Technologies demonstrated: edk2/UEFI tooling, packaging, scripting, and cross-arch support.
