Drivers(驅動程式)

EFI drivers differ from EFI applications in that the driver stays resident in memory unless an error is returned from the driver’s entry point.

EFI驅動程式(EFI drivers)不同於EFI應用程式(EFI applications)是在於驅動程式會

The EFI core firmware, the boot manager, or other EFI applications may load drivers.

EFI核心系統(EFI core)韌體、開機管理器(boot manager)或其他的EFI應用程式(EFI application)都可能會載入驅動程式。

EFI 1.02 Drivers(EFI 1.02型驅動程式)

Several types of EFI drivers exist, having evolved with subsequent levels of the specification.

現存的幾種EFI驅動程式(EFI drivers)，是發展於隨後版本的EFI規範。

In EFI 1.02, drivers were constructed without a defined driver model.

在EFI 1.02版規範中，驅動程式是建構於已定義好的驅動模型(driver model)之外。

The EFI 1.10 Specification provides a driver model that replaces the way drivers were built in EFI 1.02 but that still maintains backward compatibility with EFI 1.02 drivers.

EFI 1.10規範中有提供一種驅動模型(driver model)取代這種建立在EFI 1.02規範的驅動程式，但仍會維持EFI 1.02型驅動程式可以向上相容。

EFI 1.02 immediately started the driver inside the entry point.

EFI 1.02規範驅動程式的開始位置是在進入點函式(entry point)。

Following this method meant that the driver searched immediately for supported devices, installed the necessary I/O protocols, and started the timers that were needed to poll the devices.

按照這種方式意味著驅動程式會直接搜尋到所支援的裝置、需要安裝的I/O protocols與已開始的計時器，它需要輪尋這個裝置。

However, this method did not give the system control over the driver loading and connection policies, so the EFI Driver Model was introduced in section 1.6 of the EFI 1.10 Specification to resolve these issues.

然而，這種方式使驅動程式在載入與連結的策略上不會去拿到系統控制權，所以在EFI 1.10版的規範書的第1.6章節中所介紹的EFI驅動模型(EFI Driver Model)可以解決此問題。

The Floating-Point Software Assist (FPSWA) driver is a common example of an EFI 1.02 driver; other EFI 1.02 drivers can be found in the EFI Application Toolkit 1.02.12.38.

FPSWA(Floating-Point Software Assist)驅動程式是EFI 1.02式驅動程式常見的例子，其他的EFI 1.02式驅動程式都可以從EFI Application Toolkit 1.02.12.38找到。

For compatibility, EFI 1.02 drivers can be converted to EFI 1.10 drivers that follow the EFI Driver Model.

為了顧及相容性，所以EFI 1.02式驅動程式都可以由符合EFI驅動模型(EFI Driver Model)的EFI 1.10式驅動程式來取代。
