=== RUNNING OVMF on QEMU ===\r
\r
-* QEMU 0.12.2 or later is required.\r
-* Be sure to use qemu-system-x86_64, if you are using and X64 firmware.\r
+* Be sure to use qemu-system-x86_64, if you are using an X64 firmware.\r
(qemu-system-x86_64 works for the IA32 firmware as well, of course.)\r
* Use OVMF for QEMU firmware (3 options available)\r
- - Option 1: QEMU 1.6 or newer; Use QEMU -pflash parameter\r
+ - Option 1: Use QEMU -pflash parameter\r
* QEMU/OVMF will use emulated flash, and fully support UEFI variables\r
* Run qemu with: -pflash path/to/OVMF.fd\r
* Note that this option is required for running SecureBoot-enabled builds\r
longer.)\r
\r
* For each NIC emulated by qemu, a GPLv2 licensed UEFI driver is available from\r
- the iPXE project. The qemu source distribution, starting with version 1.5,\r
- contains prebuilt binaries of these drivers (and of course allows one to\r
- rebuild them from source as well). This is the recommended set of drivers.\r

+ This is the recommended set of drivers.\r
\r
* Use the qemu -netdev and -device options, or the legacy -net option, to\r
enable NIC support: <http://wiki.qemu.org/Documentation/Networking>.\r
\r
-* For a qemu >= 1.5 binary running *without* any "-M machine" option where\r
- "machine" would identify a < qemu-1.5 configuration (for example: "-M\r
- pc-i440fx-1.4" or "-M pc-0.13"), the iPXE drivers are automatically available\r
- to and configured for OVMF in the default qemu installation.\r
-\r
-* For a qemu binary in [0.13, 1.5), or a qemu >= 1.5 binary with an "-M\r
- machine" option where "machine" selects a < qemu-1.5 configuration:\r
-\r
- - download a >= 1.5.0-rc1 source tarball from <http://wiki.qemu.org/Download>,\r
-\r
- - extract the following iPXE driver files from the tarball and install them\r
- in a location that is accessible to qemu processes (this may depend on your\r
- SELinux configuration, for example):\r
-\r
- qemu-VERSION/pc-bios/efi-e1000.rom\r
- qemu-VERSION/pc-bios/efi-ne2k_pci.rom\r
- qemu-VERSION/pc-bios/efi-pcnet.rom\r
- qemu-VERSION/pc-bios/efi-rtl8139.rom\r
- qemu-VERSION/pc-bios/efi-virtio.rom\r
-\r
- - extend the NIC's -device option on the qemu command line with a matching\r
- "romfile=" optarg:\r
-\r
- -device e1000,...,romfile=/full/path/to/efi-e1000.rom\r
- -device ne2k_pci,...,romfile=/full/path/to/efi-ne2k_pci.rom\r
- -device pcnet,...,romfile=/full/path/to/efi-pcnet.rom\r
- -device rtl8139,...,romfile=/full/path/to/efi-rtl8139.rom\r
- -device virtio-net-pci,...,romfile=/full/path/to/efi-virtio.rom\r
+* The iPXE drivers are automatically available to and configured for OVMF in\r
+ the default qemu installation.\r
\r
* Independently of the iPXE NIC drivers, the default OVMF build provides a\r
basic virtio-net driver, located in OvmfPkg/VirtioNetDxe.\r
