1---2name: azure-firmware-analysis3description: Expert knowledge for Azure Firmware Analysis development including troubleshooting, best practices, limits & quotas, security, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. Use when scanning firmware images, interpreting SBOM paths, using UEFI analysis, or automating uploads via CLI/PowerShell/Python, and other Azure Firmware Analysis related development tasks. Not for Azure Defender For Iot (use azure-defender-for-iot), Azure IoT Edge (use azure-iot-edge), Azure IoT Hub (use azure-iot-hub), Azure Confidential Computing (use azure-confidential-computing).4---5# Azure Firmware Analysis Skill67This skill provides expert guidance for Azure Firmware Analysis. Covers troubleshooting, best practices, limits & quotas, security, integrations & coding patterns, and deployment. It combines local quick-reference content with remote documentation fetching capabilities.89## How to Use This Skill1011> **IMPORTANT for Agent**: Use the **Category Index** below to locate relevant sections. For categories with line ranges (e.g., `L35-L120`), use `read_file` with the specified lines. For categories with file links (e.g., `[security.md](security.md)`), use `read_file` on the linked reference file1213> **IMPORTANT for Agent**: If `metadata.generated_at` is more than 3 months old, suggest the user pull the latest version from the repository. If `mcp_microsoftdocs` tools are not available, suggest the user install it: [Installation Guide](https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/mcp/blob/main/README.md)1415This skill requires **network access** to fetch documentation content:16- **Preferred**: Use `mcp_microsoftdocs:microsoft_docs_fetch` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill`. Returns Markdown.17- **Fallback**: Use `fetch_webpage` with query string `from=learn-agent-skill&accept=text/markdown`. Returns Markdown.1819## Category Index2021| Category | Lines | Description |22|----------|-------|-------------|23| Troubleshooting | L34-L38 | Diagnosing and fixing common Azure Firmware Analysis issues, including upload/scan failures, unsupported firmware formats, permission/config problems, and how to interpret error messages. |24| Best Practices | L39-L45 | Using Azure Firmware Analysis to scan firmware images, interpret SBOM extractor paths, and prioritize discovered vulnerabilities and weaknesses for remediation |25| Limits & Quotas | L46-L50 | Details on what UEFI firmware analysis can and cannot do in Azure Firmware Analysis, including supported features, scanning limits, and resource/usage quotas. |26| Security | L51-L56 | Managing secure access to Azure Firmware Analysis using service principals and configuring role-based access control (RBAC) permissions for users and apps |27| Integrations & Coding Patterns | L57-L63 | How to programmatically upload firmware for analysis in Azure using CLI, PowerShell, or Python, including auth, commands/scripts, and basic automation patterns. |28| Deployment | L64-L69 | How to provision and deploy an Azure Firmware Analysis workspace using infrastructure-as-code tools: ARM templates, Bicep, and Terraform configuration and setup. |2930### Troubleshooting31| Topic | URL |32|-------|-----|33| Resolve common issues in Azure firmware analysis | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/firmware-analysis/firmware-analysis-faq |3435### Best Practices36| Topic | URL |37|-------|-----|38| Interpret SBOM extractor paths in firmware analysis | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/firmware-analysis/interpreting-extractor-paths |39| Analyze firmware images with Azure firmware analysis | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/firmware-analysis/tutorial-analyze-firmware |40| Prioritize firmware weaknesses using analysis results | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/firmware-analysis/understand-weaknesses-data |4142### Limits & Quotas43| Topic | URL |44|-------|-----|45| Understand UEFI analysis capabilities and limits in firmware analysis | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/firmware-analysis/unified-extensible-firmware-interface-firmware-analysis |4647### Security48| Topic | URL |49|-------|-----|50| Automate firmware analysis with service principals | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/firmware-analysis/automate-firmware-analysis-service-principals |51| Configure RBAC access for Azure firmware analysis | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/firmware-analysis/firmware-analysis-rbac |5253### Integrations & Coding Patterns54| Topic | URL |55|-------|-----|56| Upload firmware to Azure analysis using CLI | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/firmware-analysis/quickstart-upload-firmware-using-azure-command-line-interface |57| Upload firmware to Azure analysis with PowerShell | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/firmware-analysis/quickstart-upload-firmware-using-powershell |58| Upload firmware to Azure analysis using Python | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/firmware-analysis/quickstart-upload-firmware-using-python |5960### Deployment61| Topic | URL |62|-------|-----|63| Deploy firmware analysis workspace via ARM template | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/firmware-analysis/quickstart-firmware-analysis-arm |64| Deploy firmware analysis workspace with Bicep | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/firmware-analysis/quickstart-firmware-analysis-bicep |65| Provision firmware analysis workspace using Terraform | https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/firmware-analysis/quickstart-firmware-analysis-terraform |
