\r
=== RUNNING OVMF on QEMU ===\r
\r
To build a 32-bit OVMF without debug messages using GCC 4.5:\r
$ OvmfPkg/build.sh -a IA32 -b RELEASE -t GCC45\r
\r
+=== SMM support ===\r
+\r
+Requirements:\r
+* SMM support requires QEMU 2.5.\r
+* The minimum required QEMU machine type is "pc-q35-2.5".\r
+* SMM with KVM requires Linux 4.4 (host).\r
+\r
+OVMF is capable of utilizing SMM if the underlying QEMU or KVM hypervisor\r
+emulates SMM. SMM is put to use in the S3 suspend and resume infrastructure,\r
+and in the UEFI variable driver stack. The purpose is (virtual) hardware\r
+separation between the runtime guest OS and the firmware (OVMF), with the\r
+intent to make Secure Boot actually secure, by preventing the runtime guest OS\r
+from tampering with the variable store and S3 areas.\r
+\r
+For SMM support, OVMF must be built with the "-D SMM_REQUIRE" option. The\r
+resultant firmware binary will check if QEMU actually provides SMM emulation;\r
+if it doesn't, then OVMF will log an error and trigger an assertion failure\r
+during boot (even in RELEASE builds). Both the naming of the flag (SMM_REQUIRE,\r
+instead of SMM_ENABLE), and this behavior are consistent with the goal\r
+described above: this is supposed to be a security feature, and fallbacks are\r
+not allowed. Similarly, a pflash-backed variable store is a requirement.\r
+\r
+QEMU should be started with the options listed below (in addition to any other\r
+guest-specific flags). The command line should be gradually composed from the\r
+hints below. '\' is used to extend the command line to multiple lines, and '^'\r
+can be used on Windows.\r
+\r
+* QEMU binary and options specific to 32-bit guests:\r
+\r
+ $ qemu-system-i386 -cpu coreduo,-nx \\r
+\r
+ or\r
+\r
+ $ qemu-system-x86_64 -cpu <MODEL>,-lm,-nx \\r
+\r
+* QEMU binary for running 64-bit guests (no particular options):\r
+\r
+ $ qemu-system-x86_64 \\r
+\r
+* Flags common to all SMM scenarios (only the Q35 machine type is supported):\r
+\r
+ -machine q35,smm=on,accel=(tcg|kvm) \\r
+ -m ... \\r
+ -smp ... \\r
+ -global driver=cfi.pflash01,property=secure,value=on \\r
+ -drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,file=OVMF_CODE.fd,readonly=on \\r
+ -drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1,file=copy_of_OVMF_VARS.fd \\r
+\r
+* In order to disable S3, add:\r
+\r
+ -global ICH9-LPC.disable_s3=1 \\r
+\r
=== Network Support ===\r
\r
OVMF provides a UEFI network stack by default. Its lowest level driver is the\r
basic virtio-net driver, located in OvmfPkg/VirtioNetDxe.\r
\r
* Also independently of the iPXE NIC drivers, Intel's proprietary E1000 NIC\r
- driver (PROEFI) can be embedded in the OVMF image at build time:\r
-\r
- - Download UEFI drivers for the e1000 NIC\r
- - http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=17515&lang=eng\r
- - Install the drivers into a directory called Intel3.5 in your WORKSPACE.\r
+ driver (from the BootUtil distribution) can be embedded in the OVMF image at\r
+ build time:\r
+\r
+ - Download BootUtil:\r
+ - Navigate to\r
+ https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/19186/Ethernet-Intel-Ethernet-Connections-Boot-Utility-Preboot-Images-and-EFI-Drivers\r
+ - Click the download link for "PREBOOT.EXE".\r
+ - Accept the Intel Software License Agreement that appears.\r
+ - Unzip "PREBOOT.EXE" into a separate directory (this works with the\r
+ "unzip" utility on platforms different from Windows as well).\r
+ - Copy the "APPS/EFI/EFIx64/E3522X2.EFI" driver binary to\r
+ "Intel3.5/EFIX64/E3522X2.EFI" in your WORKSPACE.\r
+ - Intel have stopped distributing an IA32 driver binary (which used to\r
+ match the filename pattern "E35??E2.EFI"), thus this method will only\r
+ work for the IA32X64 and X64 builds of OVMF.\r
\r
- Include the driver in OVMF during the build:\r
- - Add "-D E1000_ENABLE -D FD_SIZE_2MB" to your build command,\r
- - For example: "build -D E1000_ENABLE -D FD_SIZE_2MB".\r
+ - Add "-D E1000_ENABLE" to your build command (only when building\r
+ "OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc" or "OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc").\r
+ - For example: "build -D E1000_ENABLE".\r
\r
* When a matching iPXE driver is configured for a NIC as described above, it\r
takes priority over other drivers that could possibly drive the card too:\r
\r

=== OVMF Flash Layout ===\r
\r
-Like all current IA32/X64 system designs, OVMF's firmware\r
-device (rom/flash) appears in QEMU's physical address space\r
-just below 4GB (0x100000000).\r
