[AMD Official Use Only - AMD Internal Distribution Only]

Hi all,
There was a discussion regarding HII representation and configuration under OS here back to 2022, https://github.com/tianocore/edk2/discussions/3334. Also there is a tool UEFI settings (https://github.com/linuxboot/uefisettings/tree/main ) that leverage Intel EFI_HII_EXPORT_DATABASE_GUID defined in Vlv2TbltDevicePkg to retrieve the HII database.  Seems people are looking for an opensource solution that can manipulate the platform configurations or further display the platform options to users. This could be an alternative to configure platform instead of using the UI during POST, for the firmware solutions that doesn't provide the UI.
We already have the industry standard in UEFI spec to expose the HII information, however, do we have an opensource source and cross OS solution for this yet? Apart from the security concerns, it shouldn't be a big challenge to provide an opensource HII tools under OS, right? Do nowadays OS refer to the HII information exposed in EFI system configuration table?

Thanks
Abner
