=== 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:
|
|
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/tianocore/index.php?title=OVMF
|
|
|
|
=== 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
|
|
|
|
Update Conf/target.txt TARGET_ARCH based on the .dsc file:
|
|
TARGET_ARCH
|
|
* OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32.dsc IA32
|
|
* OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc IA32 X64
|
|
* OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc X64
|
|
|
|
Following the edk2 build process, you will find the OVMF binaries
|
|
under the $WORKSPACE/Build/*/*/FV directory. The actual path will
|
|
depend on how your build is configured. You can expect to find
|
|
these binary outputs:
|
|
* OVMF.Fv
|
|
* Please note! This filename has changed. Older releases used OVMF.fd.
|
|
* CirrusLogic5446.rom
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
=== RUNNING OVMF on QEMU ===
|
|
|
|
* QEMU 0.9.1 or later is required.
|
|
* Either copy, rename or symlink OVMF.Fv => bios.bin
|
|
* Either copy, rename or symlink CirrusLogic5446.rom => vgabios-cirrus.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 the bios.bin
|
|
and vgabios-cirrus.bin files are located.
|
|
* 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.
|
|
* On Linux, newer version of QEMU may enable KVM feature, and this might cause OVMF
|
|
to fail to boot. The QEMU '-no-kvm' may allow OVMF to boot.
