Re: [Qemu-devel] Does any version of QEMU support EFI?

[Bei Guan]

Does QEMU have the plan to ship with EFI firmware? 

Xen community will probably have a project for GSoC2011 to write an EFI firmware for Xen VMs. And the EFI firmware need to be acceptable to QEMU code, which is in the Xen source code. This project is "EFI in HVM guests + Xen on EFI Hardware" at http://wiki.xen.org/xenwiki/GSoC_2011_ideas     

So, does QEMU have any design for the EFI firmware? Is there any advice to this Xen project? 

Thank you very much.

QEMU does not ship with EFI firmware.  Here is a project which
provides a UEFI implementation for QEMU/KVM:
