Source: edk2 Version: 0~20131112.2590861a-3 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch EDK II currently provides the only way to boot an ARM KVM instance that can chain into the bootloader/kernel installed in a VM disk image. Otherwise you have to pass QEMU a kernel on the commandline, which makes it a pain to keep up w/ OS updates (esp. in environments like OpenStack).
I've prepared branches[1] of the pkg-edk2 git repo that merge in the latest upstream and adds a new package for arm64. OVMF seems to be a specific build type of EDK II. For ARM, upstream has a separate build called "ArmVirtualizationQemu"[2]. Because of this, I've shoved the arm64 image into a package called "qemu-efi" instead of reusing the ovmf name. I don't personally have a strong preference about the name though.
