SeaBIOS as a Compatibility Support Module (CSM) for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) and Open Virtual Machine Firmware (OVMF) Virtual machine host notification of paravirtualized guests which panic via the pvpanic driver; A patch exists to load the SLIC table from a licensed OEM Windows BIOS. [3] Trusted Platform Module
The UEFI Platform Initialization (PI) specification includes an SMBIOS protocol (EFI_SMBIOS_PROTOCOL) that allows components to submit SMBIOS structures for inclusion, and enables the producer to create the SMBIOS table for a platform. [20] Platform virtualization software can also generate SMBIOS tables for use inside VMs, for instance QEMU. [21]
QEMU integrates several services to allow the host and guest systems to communicate for example: an integrated SMB server and network-port redirection (to allow incoming connections to the virtual machine). It can also boot Linux kernels without a bootloader. QEMU does not depend on the presence of graphical output methods on the host system.
UEFI applications can be developed and installed independently of the original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). A type of UEFI application is an OS boot loader such as GRUB, rEFInd, Gummiboot, and Windows Boot Manager, which loads some OS files into memory and executes them. Also, an OS boot loader can provide a user interface to allow the ...
EDK is the abbreviation for EFI Development Kit and is developed by the TianoCore community. [1] TianoCore EDK II is the de facto standard generic UEFI services implementation. [ 2 ]
GPU virtualization refers to technologies that allow the use of a GPU to accelerate graphics or GPGPU applications running on a virtual machine.GPU virtualization is used in various applications such as desktop virtualization, [1] cloud gaming [2] and computational science (e.g. hydrodynamics simulations).
The Platform Initialization Specification (PI Specification) is a specification published by the Unified EFI Forum that describes the internal interfaces between different parts of computer platform firmware. [1] This allows for more interoperability between firmware components from different sources.
The Direct Rendering Manager (DRM) is a subsystem of the Linux kernel responsible for interfacing with GPUs of modern video cards.DRM exposes an API that user-space programs can use to send commands and data to the GPU and perform operations such as configuring the mode setting of the display.
