Hello everyone. This is probably the final blog post I write before Google Summer of Code 2022 ends (hopefully not the final uefi one). In this post, I will summarize my GSoC22 work to make it more accessible to everyone.
PRs
Just a list of all PRs I opened as a part of GSoC22. While other people created some additional PRs to fix problems I found during my work; I do not include them since I wasn’t the one who found the solution for those.

Conclusion
I will continue working on getting Rust std PR merged since it is still unmerged. I also have some more UEFI Rust Projects lined up, and I think I will keep working on them for the foreseeable future. Feel free to check out and experiment with using Rust for UEFI (with or without std).
