Thank you Andrew for your reply.

Your explanation about the Driver Binding protocol cleared up some question=
s of mine.

Regarding the BDS, I recon I have some reading to do before I understand wh=
at you said and why it might be relevant to me.

For now I am investigating the possibility of having a DxeDriver load an UE=
FI application and create an event to start it after the DXE Phase is over =
and the Terminal protocol is available.

I need to:
- learn how to load and start images. To that end I have found a CoreLoadIm=
age and CoreStartImage edk2 functions, buuut
- I haven't figured out how to get the device path to my UEFI app
- I was wondering if I could somehow use my app's GUID to search for it?
- Then I'd learn how to use events and have them start the app

I'm deeply thankful for your time, wish you luck and peace
