Bob Feng 3ce3274a5e EmulatorPkg/PlatformCI: stick with "ubuntu-18.04" for now
"vm_image: 'ubuntu-latest'" now refers to Ubuntu Focal (20.04LTS), not
Ubuntu Bionic (18.04LTS), according to
<https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/1816>.

In Focal, an EmulatorPkg linking step fails like this:

> INFO - "gcc" -o
> /home/vsts/work/1/s/Build/EmulatorIA32/DEBUG_GCC5/IA32/Host -m32
> -L/usr/X11R6/lib

> /home/vsts/work/1/s/Build/EmulatorIA32/DEBUG_GCC5/IA32/EmulatorPkg/Unix/Host/Host/DEBUG/Host]
> Error 1

So for now, stick with the previous Ubuntu environment, which continues to
be supported, per
<https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/issues/1816>.

Overview

EmulatorPkg provides an environment where a UEFI environment can be emulated under an environment where a full UEFI compatible environment is not possible. (For example, running under an OS where an OS process hosts the UEFI emulation environment.)

Status

  • Builds and runs under
    • a posix-like environment with X windows
      • Linux
      • OS X
    • Windows environment
      • Win10 (verified)
      • Win8 (not verified)

How to Build & Run

You can use the following command to build.

  • 32bit emulator in Windows:

    build -p EmulatorPkg\EmulatorPkg.dsc -t VS2017 -a IA32

  • 64bit emulator in Windows:

    build -p EmulatorPkg\EmulatorPkg.dsc -t VS2017 -a X64

  • 32bit emulator in Linux:

    build -p EmulatorPkg\EmulatorPkg.dsc -t GCC5 -a IA32

  • 64bit emulator in Linux:

    build -p EmulatorPkg\EmulatorPkg.dsc -t GCC5 -a X64

You can start/run the emulator using the following command:

  • 32bit emulator in Windows:

    cd Build\EmulatorIA32\DEBUG_VS2017\IA32\ && WinHost.exe

  • 64bit emulator in Windows:

    cd Build\EmulatorX64\DEBUG_VS2017\X64\ && WinHost.exe

  • 32bit emulator in Linux:

    cd Build/EmulatorIA32/DEBUG_GCC5/IA32/ && ./Host

  • 64bit emulator in Linux:

    cd Build/EmulatorX64/DEBUG_GCC5/X64/ && ./Host

On posix-like environment with the bash shell you can use EmulatorPkg/build.sh to simplify building and running emulator.

For example, to build + run:

$ EmulatorPkg/build.sh $ EmulatorPkg/build.sh run

The build architecture will match your host machine's architecture.

On X64 host machines, you can build + run IA32 mode as well:

$ EmulatorPkg/build.sh -a IA32 $ EmulatorPkg/build.sh -a IA32 run
