I've been made an offer that I couldn't refuse :) to "organize" a Birds of a Feather session concerning OVMF at the KVM Forum 2014.

Interested people, please sign up:

Nice idea. Your summary mentions only ia32 and x86_64 - I would be interested in an update on OVMF for AArch64 - there seemed to already be support for ARM's Foundation Model but not yet for QEMU.

Regards,
Andreas

We've successfully UEFI-booted
- GNU/Linux guest(s) on
- upstream edk2 (*) and
- upstream qemu-system-aarch64 with
- TCG on x86_64 host,
- KVM on aarch64 host (**)

(*) Ard's patches for upstream edk2 are in the process of being tested / merged.

(**) Ard's patches for the upstream host kernel (== KVM) have been... ugh, not sure... applied to a maintainer tree? Ard? :)

So, it works (as far as I tested it myself on TCG, and heard reports about it on KVM), but right now you need to apply a handful of pending patches manually.

We can certainly talk about Aarch64 at the BoF, but then Ard should co-organize. No good deed goes unpunished, as ever! :)

Cheers,
Laszlo

They have been merged as of yesterday.

Some are in kvm/master, which I think means to should go into the next 3.17-rc, although I haven't seen much movement there.
Some other bits are being taken through the kvmarm/queue branch, so they should arrive by 3.18-rc1

I do appreciate the suggestion, but I don't think it will be feasible for me to come to Duesseldorf.

They'll miss this week's rc, but I'll send them out early next week.

OK thanks for the update
