some question about Windows8 32bit WHQL test

Question

   We'd like to ask some question about Windows8 32bit WHQL test. When we test the Windows8 x86 WHQL test,all about UEFI test were failed , like the "UEFI Firmware certification","UEFI GOP mode"and "Secure Boot Logo " tests are Failed (Fail information as below) , So we can't get Windows 8 x86 logo from WHQL.

Question:

1. How to get the Windows 8 x86 Logo now?
                 
2.Can you provide some description of the file?

3.This problem whom should help us solve it?

    1.Client OS Version: Windows8 RTM X86 Pro Build 9200

    2.WHCK Version: WHCK 2.0.9200

     3.BIOS manufacturer: AMI

Thanks a lot !

Answer 1

不支持32bbit UEFI  ， 还是用Windows8 RTM X64吧

Answer 2

Windows 8系统认证要求系统必须支持UEFI，并且UEFI是默认设置。所以如果您需要申请Windows 8 系统32bit认证。需要开发32bit UEFI。UEFI的firmware和传统的BIOS不同，UEFI分32bit和64bit两种。不同架构的操作系统需要不同架构的UEFI来支持。当前，绝大多数系统都采用64bit，绝大多数的UEFI firmware也是64bit的。所以并不推荐使用32bit的UEFI。这将增加很多没有长远后续发展的工作。由于内存访问容量的限制，今后64bit系统将逐渐取代32bit系统。所以大家知道，绝大多数整机厂开发Windows 8机型时都不在开发32bit UEFI。
