boot UEFI image, that will make us debug UEFI image much more easier,<br>
without ovmf, we have to burn EFI image to a usb disk or cdrom,<br>
then boot it on the real hardware, this is inconvenient. (Virtual<br>
box can't boot our UEFI image, either, please see my last email<br>
about virtualbox, we may fix it later.)<br>
<br>
The ovmf is released under BSD license:<br>
<a href="http://www.tianocore.org/ovmf/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.tianocore.org/ovmf/</a><br>
The website says:<br>
License information: BSD (May contain an additional exception if bundled with<br>
the FAT driver.)<br>
<br>
We don't use the prebuilt FAT driver, we will build it from ovmf source.<br>
<br>
I tried it in my local repo, it works.<br>
<br>
We need to do:<br>
1) Add ovmf-native to oe-core.<br>
2) Move acpica from meta-oe to oe-core since ovmf-naive requires iasl which is<br>
  provided by acpica, we may also move acpitests to oe-core since it is used<br>
  for testing acpica, others are not needed.<br>
3) Update runqemu to make it can boot EFI image.<br>
<br>
Of course, this for master branch only.<br>
<br>
Any objections or comments, please ?<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Seems like a good idea to me. I'd love to be able to test EFI images in qemu, and there's an open issue in bugzilla about it.</div></div></div>
