UEFI Driver Wizard	The UEFI Driver Wizard is an open source program designed to accelerate the development of new UEFI drivers using a GUI-based template generator. This wizard provides basic support for the most common categories of UEFI drivers. Please refer to the UEFI Driver Wizard ReadMe. Check out the Wizard Getting Started guide for more information. Download the UEFI Driver Wizard MSI (installer for Microsoft Windows) or use this SVN Link to download for Linux/Unix/Mac.

UDK2014 IHV (Driver Developer Release)	Subset package of UEFI Development Kit (UDK2014) designed for use with the UEFI Driver Wizard. This release only contains the packages essential for independent hardware vendor (IHV) driver development, based on the older UDK2014 release. In general, it is advisable to use a more recent release (UDK2015 or UDK2017). The UDK2014.IHV subset is still provided for historical purposes.
