+# uefi-rs
+This library allows you to write [UEFI][uefi] applications in Rust.
+
+[uefi]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unified_Extensible_Firmware_Interface
+
+## Documentation
+The best way to learn how to write UEFI applications is to read the [UEFI spec][spec]
+and look at the example code in the `tests` directory.
+
+There is also the `x86_64-uefi.json` file, which is
+a custom Rust target for 64-bit UEFI applications.
+
+## Running the tests
+### Prerequisites
+- [QEMU](https://www.qemu.org/)
+- [Python 3](https://www.python.org)
+- [OVMF](https://github.com/tianocore/tianocore.github.io/wiki/OVMF):
+  You need to extract `OVMF_CODE.fd` and `OVMF_VARS.fd` to the same directory as the `build.py` file.
+  Alternatively, install OVMF using your distro's package manager and change the paths in the script file.
+
+### Steps
+It's as simple as running the `build.py` script with the `build` and `run` arguments:
+
+```sh
+./build.py build run
+```
+
+You can also pass `doc` for generating documentation, or `clippy` to run Clippy.
