Well, my biased opinion, as maintainer of the Linaro UEFI tree, is that you use Linaro's output. We are ARM focussed and hold several BSPs for some interesting ARM platforms. Our UEFI wiki is here: https://wiki.linaro.org/LEG/Engineering/Kernel/UEFI/ There are instructions on how to download and build UEFI for various ARM platforms using Ubuntu 12.10. It is possible to use Windows also, but as I only use Linux, I don't have any scripts or instructions for Windows. However, I am not at all familiar with QEMU, so there are no instructions for that at the moment. I have used ARM's RTSM and Olivier Martin has a good wiki about that (including Windows instructions): http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/tianocore/index.php?title=ArmPlatformPkg/ArmVExpressPkg http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/tianocore/index.php?title=ArmPkg/Ds5 Also, I made some rough notes about using RTSM with my tree: https://wiki.linaro.org/ARM/FastModels#UEFI_on_FastModels Hope that all helps!
