hello,

I'm a BIOS developer and want to know if there is any existing camera solution to grab pictures under the EFI(EDK2) environment.

Current systems we can use for PoC are WHL, CML, or TGL.

I asked this question of a bunch of current and former Intel BIOS engineers that I know. The best response that I have received so far is: "We might have had something in EDK I but cameras aren’t generally boot devices. Support for non-boot devices (audio, cameras, etc.) is limited. Only thing might be security related since some are attempting to use facial recognition as part of dual factor authentication."

Hope this helps,

Hi @n_scott_pearson ,

Thank you for your explanation.

This is exactly what I want to search for references.
Can you kindly provide the resources?

[n_scott_pearson]

Sorry, I leave that part for you. You can search within the EDK code and documentation just as easily as I can (but don't look at me to do it, I am retired).
