> amd64
> =====
>
> -This BSP offers only one variant, ``amd64``. The BSP can run on UEFI-capable
> -systems by using FreeBSD's bootloader, which then loads the RTEMS executable (an
> -ELF image).
> +This BSP offers two variants, ``amd64`` and ``amd64efi``. The BSP can run on
> +UEFI-capable systems by using the FreeBSD bootloader in the case of ``amd64``
> +or a multiboot2 compliant bootloader in the case of ``amd64efi``. The main
> +difference of ``amd64efi`` is that it utilizes the UEFI Boot Services for its
> +functionality.
>
> -Currently only the console driver and context initialization and switching are
> -functional (to a bare minimum), but this is enough to run the ``hello.exe`` sample
> -in the RTEMS testsuite.
> +Currently the console driver, clock driver and context switching are functional.
