Oh, right ... found it. I'd expected it to be top level like OvmfPkg. > I can write some proper instructions up and send out tomorrow, with a > tag and some prebuilt images to go with it. That might help initially, but to prototype UEFI changes, I'm going to have to build and run it myself > It is worth keeping in mind though that qemu does not emulate Security > Extensions or Virtualization Extensions, so there may be limitations > to what you can test with it. > > (Oh, and I've tried to respond to Mantis 1225 on the usst list, but my > email there bounces.) Well, you're right, that's the issue. If you have anything you want to say, you can vector it to me and I'll resend to the list (I think it might be subscriber only posting).
