Initial Deployment

Initial deployment of Dasharo (UEFI) firmware on QEMU Q35 does not need any special actions. QEMU Q35 is an emulated platform, not real hardware.

Running the Dasharo (UEFI) is as simple as invoking a QEMU command:

qemu-system-x86_64 -machine q35,smm=on \
    -global driver=cfi.pflash01,property=secure,value=on \
    -drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=0,file=Build/OvmfX64/RELEASE_GCC5/FV/OVMF_CODE.fd,readonly=on \
    -drive if=pflash,format=raw,unit=1,file=Build/OvmfX64/RELEASE_GCC5/FV/OVMF_VARS.fd \
    -debugcon file:debug.log -global isa-debugcon.iobase=0x402 \
    -global ICH9-LPC.disable_s3=1

If you use system without graphical output you may face following issues:

gtk initialization failed

In such case add -nographic at the end of your command.
