DESCRIPTION:This talk will cover Universal Scalable Firmware (USF). USF en
 tails an evolution of the platform firmware stack. It entails evolutions f
 rom the hardware through the SOC to the platform layer and in the OS facin
 g payload. Elements of the stack include the system on a chip (SOC) abstra
 ction layer (SAL) into the scalable Firmware Support Package (sFSP). Atop 
 of the sFSP a set of infrastructure referred to as the Platform Orchestrat
 ion Layer (POL) will support a plurality of bootloader implementations\, s
 uch as coreboot\, EDKII\, and slim bootloader. Each of these POL entities 
 can then be composed with a Universal Payload to provide alternate boot me
 thodologies such as UEFI and LinuxBoot. In addition to supporting a variet
 y of POL's\, this work hopes to support a variety of implementation langua
 ges beyond C\, including Rust. And beyond booting\, USF provides guidance 
 on more consistent configuration using YAML and firmware support beyond th
 e host CPU SOC into alternate platform computing elements\, or XPU’s. Mo
 re information on this work can be found at https://github.com/UniversalSc
 alableFirmware.
