# UEFI DDF file


This topic shows the OMA DM device description framework (DDF) for the **Uefi** configuration service provider. 

Looking for the DDF XML files? See [CSP DDF files download](configuration-service-provider-reference.md#csp-ddf-files-download).

The XML below is for Windows 10, version 1809.
