If you want to compile firmware or utilities, we recommend first downloading EDK II from github{:target="_blank"} and building a sample platform (NT32{:target="_blank"}, OVMF{:target="_blank"}, ArmVirt{:target="_blank"}, MdePkg{:target="_blank"}, ...). You can also use a UEFI Development Kit (UDK{:target="_blank"}) release, which is a stable snapshot based on EDK II{:target="_blank"}.
There are multiple hardware platforms{:target="_blank"} using EDK II open source UEFI firmware, including MinnowBoard Max/Turbot{:target="_blank"}, MinnowBoard 3{:target="_blank"}, and Intel® Galileo Gen 2{:target="_blank"}. This allows you to experiment and develop UEFI features on real hardware.
TianoCore uses Bugzilla to track issues and feature requests. Please review Reporting Issues{:target="_blank"} and Reporting Security Issues{:target="_blank"} for more information. If you would like to contribute code or fix issues, please see How To Contribute. The Tasks{:target="_blank"} page has a list of projects that need attention.
