In my opinion, this is absolutely the first step that should be done. Personally, I've just learned, from this thread, that there are *three* (not two) UEFI application entry point types that edk2 supports. * I've always known about main() -- libc app --, and ShellAppMain() -- shell app. I've always known these because I read about them in "AppPkg/ReadMe.txt" and "StdLib/ReadMe.txt" years ago. In particular, compare the description of "Hello" and "Main". * And now MdeModulePkg/Application has been mentioned, in this thread, where I see UefiMain() as the entry point. I don't recall reading about UefiMain() or UefiApplicationEntryPoint on this list. On the other hand, I remember several discussions where people asked if they could write an application and invoke it from SysPrep#### or similar, and the answer has always been, "oh sorry you can't do that, because the lowest level you can go is ShellAppMain(), and that won't work from SysPrep####".
