UEFI driver that attempts to force the internal Thunderbolt controller to power on at boot. This aims to replicate the functionality of the \_SB.TBFP ACPI method at boot time. See the FAQ for additional information.

Building

It is assumed that you have a functional EDK2 workspace.

TbtForcePower uses various chipset GPIO libraries from the Kaby Lake platform code in edk2-platforms. Ensure that edk2-platforms/Platform/Intel and edk2-platforms/Silicon/Intel are included in PACKAGES_PATH before building.

Additionally, the following patch must be applied to edk2-platforms:
