Bootable applications - an introduction
summary
Hands-on guide that builds a UEFI bootable application in C producing a PE32+ EFI binary placed at EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI, compiles with clang/LLVM + lld, links against the lil-uefi header-only helpers, and tests in QEMU and as a USB-flashed image that boots on real hardware (2014 Mac demo). Scripts and a Docker image automate build and image creation; examples include text output, framebuffer color fill, and an XOR mouse cursor; notable limits: disable Secure Boot, no standard library or drivers, and no built-in threading.
