=== OVMF OVERVIEW === The Open Virtual Machine Firmware (OVMF) project aims to support firmware for Virtual Machines using the edk2 code base. More information can be found at: https://edk2.tianocore.org/OVMF.html === STATUS === Current status: Alpha Current capabilities: * IA32 and X64 architectures * QEMU (0.9.1 or later) - Video, keyboard, IDE, CD-ROM, serial - Runs UEFI shell * UEFI Linux has booted (but is not stable) === FUTURE PLANS === * Stabilize UEFI Linux boot * Test/Stabilize UEFI Self-Certification Tests (SCT) results === BUILDING OVMF === Pre-requisites: * Build environment capable of build the edk2 MdeModulePkg. * A properly configured ASL compiler * Intel ASL compiler: Available from http://www.acpica.org or * Microsoft ASL compiler: Available from http://www.acpi.info Update Conf/target.txt ACTIVE_PLATFORM for OVMF: PEI arch DXE arch UEFI interfaces * OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32.dsc IA32 IA32 IA32 * OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc IA32 X64 X64 * OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc X64 X64 X64 Following the edk2 build process, you will find OVMF.fd at: $WORKSPACE/Build/*/*/FV/OVMF.fd === RUNNING OVMF on QEMU === * QEMU 0.9.1 or later is required. * Either copy, rename or symlink OVMF.fd => bios.bin * Be sure to use qemu-system-x86_64, if you are using and X64 firmware. (qemu-system-x86_64 works for the IA32 firmware as well, of course.) * Use the QEMU -L parameter to specify the directory where bios.bin is located. * If QEMU returns an error about not finding a video bios, you can try creating an empty copy of the video bios file, or copy the video bios from QEMU's BIOS directory. * Optionally you can use the QEMU -serial command to capture the OVMF debug messages. For example: -serial file:serial.log * The EFI shell is built into OVMF builds at this time, so it should run automatically if a UEFI boot application is not found on the removable media.
