The H2OFFT tool offers the possibility to save the configured UEFI on the current module as a binary file with the settings made, which can then be flashed to other modules again. The procedure does not differ from the used system (EFI, Win, Linux).
Save runtime UEFI to binary
after you have configured your UEFI you can export it as binary with the H2OFFT tool:
H2OFFT-Sx64.efi <Name-of-new-UEFI-Binary> -O Example: H2OFFT-Sx64.efi @bios_image_name@_new.bin -O
Flash customized UEFI to binary
The flashing of the previously created UEFI image is done in the same way as with the standard UEFI binary.
