Firmware installation
|
|
|
UEFI for x86 QEMU/KVM VMs is called OVMF (Open Virtual Machine Firmware). It comes from EDK2 (EFI Development Kit), which is the UEFI reference implementation.

|
Installing 'UEFI for QEMU' from Fedora repos
|
|
|
Since June 2016, OVMF is available in Fedora repositories. All you need to have installed is `edk2-ovmf` RPM. Furthermore, it should be now a dependency of the package, so you probably have it installed already. This includes firmware for secureboot (`OVMF_CODE.secboot.fd`)

Installing 'UEFI for QEMU' nightly builds
|
|
|
Gerd Hoffmann, Red Hatter and QEMU developer, has a dnf repo on his personal site that provides nightly builds of a whole bunch of QEMU/KVM firmware, including EDK2/OVMF.
|
|
|
Here's how to pull down the nightly builds for x86:
|
|
|
` sudo dnf install dnf-plugins-core` + ` sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo `http://www.kraxel.org/repos/firmware.repo[`http://www.kraxel.org/repos/firmware.repo`] + ` sudo dnf install edk2.git-ovmf-x64`
|
|
|
Note, these are nightly builds, and may occasionally be broken.
