IMicrosoft iyakunyanzela ibhlokhi ye-UEFI kwizixhobo ze-ARM

Emva kwempikiswano eveliswe yimfuno yeMicrosoft yokuba ne UEFI yantoni 8 Windows ekuqaleni, inkampani iphinda imbali kwakhona, ngeli xesha, inqanda amaqabane ayo enza kwaye ahlanganise iikhompyuter ekuboneleleni ngokhetho lokukhubaza umsebenzi we-UEFI kwizakhiwo. ARM Ukuba ufuna ukufumana i Isatifikethi somgangatho de Microsoft kwiimveliso zakho.

Ekuqaleni kukaDisemba, i-Software Freedom Law Centre (SFLC) yalumkisa i-Copyright Office ukuba abathengisi benkqubo yokusebenza baya kusebenzisa i-UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) inkqubo ekhuselekileyo ye-boot ngendlela echasene nentsholongwane. ezinye iindlela zokusebenza.

Njengoko uGlyn Moody etshilo, uMicrosoft akazange achithe xesha ekulungiseni iimfuno zeSiqinisekiso seWindows Hardware ukuthintela uninzi lweenkqubo ezizezinye ezizezinye kwizixhobo ezisekwe kwiprosesa ye-ARM eziqalisa ngeWindows 8. phulo ngokuchasene noku.

IiMfuno zeSiqinisekiso zichaza (kwiphepha le-116) imo yesiqalo ekhuselekileyo “yesiko”, apho umsebenzisi okhoyo onokongeza utyikityo lwezinye iindlela zokusebenza kugcino lwedatha lwenkqubo, evumela inkqubo ukuba iqale ezo. Kodwa kwizixhobo ze-ARM, imowudi yesiko ayivumelekanga: “Kwiinkqubo ze-ARM, ukusebenzisa indlela yesiko akuvumelekanga. Kuphela imowudi eqhelekileyo enokuthi isebenze. Abasebenzisi nabo abayi kuba nokukhetha ukuvala ukuqalisa ngokukhuselekileyo, ngendlela ebebeya kwenza ngayo kwizixhobo ezingasekelwanga kwi-ARM: “Ukukhubaza ukuqalisa okukhuselekileyo AKUMELE kwenzeke kwiinkqubo ze-ARM.” Phakathi kwezi mfuno zimbini, nasiphi na isixhobo se-ARM esiphuma nelogo ye-Windows 8 asisoze sikwazi ukuqhuba enye inkqubo yokusebenza, ngaphandle kokuba sisayinwe ngesitshixo esifakwe ngaphambili okanye isiphene sokhuseleko sifunyenwe esivumela abasebenzisi ukuba badlule. qala.

Ngelixa i-UEFI Secure Boot yenzelwe ukukhusela ukhuseleko lomsebenzisi, ezi zithintelo zingekho mgangathweni azinanto yakwenza nokhuseleko. Kwiinkqubo ezingasekelwanga kwi-ARM, iMicrosoft ifuna ukuba imowudi yesiko ivulwe - imfuno engaguqukiyo ukuba indlela yesiko isisoyikiso sokhuseleko. Kodwa imakethi ye-ARM yahlukile kwiMicrosoft ngeendlela ezintathu ezibalulekileyo:

Abavelisi behardware bakwaMicrosoft bahlukile kwi-ARM. I-ARM inomdla kuMicrosoft ngesizathu esinye esiphambili: zonke izixhobo eziphathwayo ezisebenzisa inkqubo yeWindows Phone zisekelwe kwi-ARM. Ngokwahlukileyo, i-Intel ilawula umhlaba wePC. Apho, iimfuno ezikhuselekileyo ze-Microsoft ze-boot zivumela abasebenzisi ukuba bongeze utyikityo kwimowudi yesiko okanye bavale i-boot ekhuselekileyo ngokupheleleyo-balandela ngokusondeleyo iingcebiso zeforum ye-UEFI, apho i-Intel lilungu elisisiseko. UMicrosoft akafuni kuxhasa iinkqubo zelifa kwiinguqulelo ze-ARM zeWindows. Ukuba iMicrosoft ivala iinkqubo zokusebenza ezingasayinwanga kwiiPC ezintsha, iya kuba semngciphekweni wokuphazamisa abathengi bayo abakhetha iWindows XP okanye iWindows 7 (okanye, ngokucinga, iVista). Kodwa ngaphandle kwesi sidingo sokuxhasa iinkqubo zelifa kwi-ARM, iMicrosoft inomdla wokutshixa abasebenzisi.

IMicrosoft ayilawuli ngokwaneleyo intengiso yezixhobo eziphathwayo ukuphakamisa iinkxalabo zoxhatshazo olulodwa. Ngelixa iMicrosoft ingenagunya kwiiPC eyayinazo ngo-1998, xa yayizanywa ngenxa yokwaphulwa komthetho, isalawula malunga ne-90% yemarike yenkqubo yokusebenza yePC - oku kwanele ukwenza ixhala lokuba ngokuvalwa kweenkqubo zokusebenza ukuba hayi iikhompyuter zeWindows ezineWindows 8, abalawuli beza benkqonkqoza emnyango wakho. Kodwa okwangoku inokusebenzisa indlela yayo yokuchasana nokhuphiswano kwizixhobo ze-ARM.
