The uEFI Shell
The Kontron uEFI BIOS features a built-in and enhanced version of the uEFI Shell. For a de-
tailed description of the available standard shell scripting refer to the EFI Shell User’s Guide.
For a detailed description of the available standard shell commands, refer to the Shell Com-
mand Manual 1.0. Both documents can be downloaded from the EFI and Framework Open
Source Community homepage (https://efi-shell.tianocore.org) under the “Documents and Files”
section.
Please note that not all shell commands described in the Shell Command Manual 1.0 are pro-
vided by the Kontron uEFI BIOS.

Introduction, Basic Operation
The uEFI Shell forms an entry into the uEFI boot order and is the first boot option by default. It
is simply started by putting the uEFI Shell first in boot and running the board as usual.

Shell Startup
If the shell is executed, it displays its signon message followed by a list of detected devices.
The output produced by the device mapping table can vary depending on the board’s configu-
ration.
