Hi, until recently, the hvm guest firmware for xen-ia64 was a private binary file owned and delivered by Intel. I have written an open-source implementation based on tianocore.org. The ia64 firmware is roughly speaking EFI. I have also ported tianocore to Qemu/x86. It shouldn''t be hard to port it to x86. Because the sources are big (at least 40MB) and the buildery is not easy (build

...and put it under right place: >+ (1) If you have the guest firmware (binary)released by Intel >Corp for Xen, you can use it directly. >+ (2) If you want to build a guest firmware form source code. >Please download the source from >+ hg clone >http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/efi-vfirmware.hg >+ Use the Guide of the source to build open Guest >Firmware. The Guide is not include in this README, so we may make a link to the Guide in wiki. Or we may add a link to binary release of GFW. Best Regards, Akio Takebe
