Hi John,
First for the MinnowBoard. Yes, the firmware is EDK II based and is basically
based on the UDK2010.SR1.UP1.P1 release. I will make a cross link on the
tianocore.org web pages but the link to get the board is :
http://Minnowboard.org and the link to download the source is :
http://uefidk.intel.com/content/minnowboard-uefi-firmware
Second, Duet is from the DuetPkg and is included with the UDK2010.SR1.UP1.P1
release. This is basically the UEFI Shell environment booted from a Legacy
BIOS. This is used on an older non-UEFI PC. More info:
http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/tianocore/index.php?title=DuetPkg
Third: Ovmf from the OvmfPkg is a virtual machine based and uses QEMU with the
Firmware device image built from the OvmfPkg .dsc files. This is frenquently
used with a linux OS for UEFI Development.

Subject: [edk2] minnowboard and duet
Hello
As I am looking through the EDKII workspace, I am wondering where is the port
for minnowboard? I saw a video from an Intel guy on youtube and it mentioned
the minnowboard as a atom based board which could be used as a cheap UEFI
reference development kit. This sounds like a good deal for the UEFI support
alone. The tunnelmountain kits are way out of my range for something to do in
my personal time, but I'm wondering. I see BeagleBoard and Omap trees in the
source but no minnowboard. Why is that? Does it not require its own seperate
tree since it runs on the core workspace?
Also, I see this tree for something called Duet. What is Duet? Is it another
board port?
Lastly, I see a lot of Ovmp discussion on the board lately. Is that a virtual
UEFI bios port? I'm guessing, but not sure that you could build a .fv for it
just as you build a .fv for the emulator and use it to boot a vm os. Is that
the case?
