There seems to be a consensus that supporting UEFI in OE-core for qemu would be valuable, and there have been some (stalled) attempts to add it. For reference, see: [OE-core] [PATCH V3 0/3] Add UEFI firmware for qemux86* [OE-core] Add ovmf-native to make qemu-native/runqemu support boot UEFI image? https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5654 https://github.com/01org/luv-yocto/issues/38
This patch set includes the necessary recipes (ovmf and iasl from meta-luv), some improvements to them (in particular, enabling Secure Boot), and changes to runqemu to make it easier to boot with UEFI. A special image recipes builds an image which can be used to lock down a virtual machine by enrolling the "normal" pre-installed certificates. I decided to keep the setup simple and use just a single file for UEFI code and variables because that makes the usage via runqemu very easy. See the "runqemu: support UEFI with OVMF firmware" patch for details. The downside is that the firmware can't be updated without loosing variables. I don't see a big need for long-lived virtual machine instances, but would like to hear from others about that. What's missing is automated testing of this new feature. I'm open for suggestions here; right now I don't know enough about the automated testing in the AB to propose something. I've discussed the usage of ovmf/iasl with Ricardo and he agreed that moving ovmf and iasl from meta-luv to OE-core makes sense. Ricardo, would you be willing to act as maintainer of it there, like you did in meta-luv? Beware that "git am --keep-cr" must be used to import the ovmf patches correctly.
