2  Simple Text Out protocol from the UEFI 2.0 specification.
3 
4  Abstraction of a very simple text based output device like VGA text mode or
5  a serial terminal. The Simple Text Out protocol instance can represent
6  a single hardware device or a virtual device that is an aggregation
7  of multiple physical devices.
