2025-10-09 , Main

Presenter: Michael Kubacki, Microsoft

A new open-source project called Patina is transforming UEFI firmware from the core up! This session will present how Patina is enhancing firmware safety and reliability starting with a DXE Core written in Pure Rust for ARM64 and X64. We’ll explore Patina's architecture, legacy debt solutions, and status. Looking forward, we’ll examine the roadmap and platform integration details. We aim to inspire you to use Rust and modern tools so we can build the next generation of firmware together.
