Re: [Xen-users] configure of OVMF on Debian/Ubuntu

[Mark Pryor <tlviewer@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've got this solved now.

ovmf.git has been patched extensively as of Oct 12, so its better to build OVMF from source, rather than use the blob from Ubuntu/Debian repo (Dec 2014).

The TianoCore splash screen appears instantly now and the VM speeds are as expected, where a minimal C7 VM starts in 24s or less.

I now see consistent behavior and speed under EFI in all the dom0, RH clones and Debian type.

Experts,

I've got results with OVMF from source on Centos 7, and have a shiny new C7 VM installed on top of EFI, using

the compiled ovmf.bin

However Debian attempts with xen 4.6 are failing either with

1)    ./configure --enable-ovmf

or

2)    ./configure --with-system-ovmf=/usr/share/ovmf/OVMF.fd

I'm not sure if the 2nd version is correct. I used the path to the ovmf blob from repo

apt-get install ovmf

When the source build goes off, what does Xen do with that path? Does it write it into config or does

the build actually try to hook a blob from that path?

Is the --with-system-ovmf flag always required even when tools/firmware/ovmf-dir/Makefile is run?
