So qemu ships\n+prebuilt firmware binaries for convenience reasons.\n+\n+\n+directories\n+-----------\n+\n+pc-bios/\n+ Firmware binaries.\n+ Also other files like keymaps and logos which are copied to\n+ $prefix/share/qemu by \"make install\".\n+\n+pc-bios/optionrom/\n+ Firmware sources, part of the qemu project.\n+\n+roms/\n+ Firmware sources, third-party projects, as git submodules.\n+\n+\n+third-party git repos\n+---------------------\n+\n+For third party firmware sources it is recommended to have a git\n+mirror on git.qemu.org. In case the firmware license is GPL the git\n+mirror is mandatory for GPL compilance reasons: We ship binaries, so\n+we must provide sources too.\n+\n+\n+building the firmware\n+---------------------\n+\n+Firmware builds should be done using rules in roms/Makefile. That\n+serves as documentation how the firmware is built, and it also makes\n+firmware updates easier for the maintainer.\n+\n+\"make -C roms\" prints a list of firmware build targets.\n+\"make -C roms $target\" kicks a build.\n+\n+\n+notes for specific firmwares\n+----------------------------\n+\n+ipxe: see https://wiki.qemu.org/IpxeDownstreamForQemu\n", "prefixes": [] }
