Where is the requirement that all OEMs must only include BSD code in

For the DP command, there are two different codebases, one in

EDK2's OVMFs were last updated 2011. They magically appeared on this
subdirectory, as they're unmaintained. :-) I presume the only people who
update these files are UEFI Forum members. The ones from the Linux
community are circa 2013. It'd be nice if you uploaded fresh OVMFs when
you upload new
Use QEMU/OVMF, it gets more attention from Intel than DUET, which was an
older tech. I don't think anyone at ARM cares about DUET, but theydo
care about helping QEMU/OVMF.
The UEFI Forum doesn't bother to update OVMF binaries to their download
site, they're ancient. They presume you'll use the

I had the *same* error/hang about 6 weeks ago, trying to get DUET to
run, on an Intel x64 (no AMD hardware involved), built via EDK-II trunk.
I suspect DUET sees the same QA that it once did. I gave up on DUET, and
switched to OVMF, and am happy.
Thanks to all replies in this thread, useful information!

Why does it need to write to the file system, just to boot the HW enough
