Introduction
This project is a new and updated branch of the Yosemite tree and is targetted at OS X 10.11 El Capitan with SIP support, automatic installer detection and fake board-id injection for unsupported models of the MacPro and MacBook Pro. Download google calendar for mac.
If you removed your Windows installation manually from your Mac, without using Boot Camp Assistant, there's a bit more work you'll need to do to remove its EFI Boot entry (Image Credit: Digital.
Download
All downloads of boot.efi should be done from this project page. All other sources are unsupported.
Uefi Boot Mac Os X
Download your copy of the prebuild (32-bit) version of boot.efi for El Capitan (compiled on Microsoft Windows 10 with Microsoft Visual Studio 2015) with a black background and white Apple logo now, and verify the download by entering (either one) in a terminal window:
Uefi For Mac Os Versions
- To create a macOS flash drive installer you will first need either a. Access to a Mac.
- The x86-64 port of OpenVMS also uses UEFI to boot the operating system. Apple uses EFI for its line of Intel-based Macs. Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger and Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard implement EFI v1.10 in 32-bit mode even on newer 64-bit CPUs, but full support arrived with OS X v10.8 Mountain Lion.
- Select Troubleshoot Advanced options UEFI Firmware settings. From the firmware menus, boot to drive or network while in UEFI or BIOS mode: On the boot device menu, select the command that identifies both the firmware mode and the device. For example, select UEFI: USB Drive or BIOS: Network/LAN. You might see separate commands for the same.
Or download the one for legacy hardware, with a grey background and logo for your Mac Pro and verify the download by entering (either one) in a terminal window:

Note: If the output is different, then your copy of boot.efi should not be used!
Compilation
Don't want a prebuilt copy of boot.efi then compile the source code yourself, with either Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 or 2015. The latter requires you to update the solution files, but that should be done automatically in the MS Visual Studio IDE.

Thanks To
This project would not have been possible without the help of Peter Holbrook, Mike Boss and a number of other people. Peter did all compiling and Mike ran dozens of test builds that Peter pushed out over at forums.macrumors.com Awesome work guys. Job well done!
I'd also like to thank everyone else whoh helped with testing our nightly builds. Thank you so much!
Help
If you need help with the setup then please visit this macrumor thread. Developers, or people who need help with compiling boot.efi themself, can visit this macrumors developer thread.
Note: I myself don't own any unsupported Apple hardware with a 32-bit EFI implementation, so I can probably do not much for you, but there may be others to help you.

Hey there Mark,
It sounds like you want to know how to check your EFI version, and yes our computers use EFI according to this article:
You should be able to check that version number using System Information:
How to check your firmware version
Use these steps to check your Mac's EFI Boot ROM and SMC firmware versions.
- Open System Information.
- Select the Hardware section to view the Model Identifier, Boot ROM version, and SMC version numbers.
If the firmware version you see in System Information is newer than what's listed for your Mac, you don't need to apply the updates listed for that model. If you try to use a manual updater that's not designed for your Mac, or if it's not needed, the installer alerts you and the software isn't installed.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities, all the best!
