This is somewhat related to the bigger question how we want move forward with firmware builds in the qemu repo ...
qemu got uefi variable store support in version 10.0. With the pending edk2 firmware update (patches are on the list right now) edk2 is new enough that support for the qemu variable store is present in the code base. This is a compile time option though, so it needs separate firmware images. This little patch series adds them. The big question is if we want go down that route. The images are not essential for qemu itself. The test cases for the acpi tables use the firmware images for the traditional, pflash-based efi variable store and can continue to do so. So, do we want add them? For qemu developer / user convenience? Or leave that to linux distributions? Fedora already ships builds (see /usr/share/edk2/*/*qemuvars*). take care, Gerd Gerd Hoffmann (2): edk2: add qemuvars builds to config edk2: add qemuvars build binaries pc-bios/edk2-aarch64-qemuvars.fd.bz2 | Bin 0 -> 1621714 bytes pc-bios/edk2-x86_64-qemuvars.fd.bz2 | Bin 0 -> 2095693 bytes roms/edk2-build.config | 37 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 37 insertions(+) create mode 100644 pc-bios/edk2-aarch64-qemuvars.fd.bz2 create mode 100644 pc-bios/edk2-x86_64-qemuvars.fd.bz2 -- 2.52.0
