## UEFI booting
This part introduces how to build EDK2 firmware and boot Cloud Hypervisor with it.
### Building EDK2
```bash
$ pushd $CLOUDH
# Clone source code repos
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/tianocore/edk2.git -b master
$ cd edk2
$ git submodule update --init
$ cd ..
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-platforms.git -b master
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/acpica/acpica.git -b master
# Build tools
$ export PACKAGES_PATH="$PWD/edk2:$PWD/edk2-platforms"
$ export IASL_PREFIX="$PWD/acpica/generate/unix/bin/"
$ make -C acpica
$ cd edk2/
$ . edksetup.sh
$ cd ..
$ make -C edk2/BaseTools
# Build EDK2
$ build -a AARCH64 -t GCC5 -p ArmVirtPkg/ArmVirtCloudHv.dsc -b RELEASE
$ popd
```
If the build goes well, the EDK2 binary is available at
`edk2/Build/ArmVirtCloudHv-AARCH64/RELEASE_GCC5/FV/CLOUDHV_EFI.fd`.
### Booting the guest VM
```bash
$ pushd $CLOUDH
$ sudo RUST_BACKTRACE=1 $CLOUDH/cloud-hypervisor/target/debug/cloud-hypervisor \
--api-socket /tmp/cloud-hypervisor.sock \
--kernel $CLOUDH/edk2/Build/ArmVirtCloudHv-AARCH64/RELEASE_GCC5/FV/CLOUDHV_EFI.fd \
--disk path=$CLOUDH/focal-server-cloudimg-arm64.raw \
--cpus boot=4 \
--memory size=4096M \
--net tap=,mac=12:34:56:78:90:01,ip=192.168.1.1,mask=255.255.255.0 \
--serial tty \
--console off
$ popd

Alternativelly, you can build your own kernel for guest VM. This way, UEFI is

Cloud Hypervisor supports UEFI boot through the utilization of the EDK II based UEFI firmware.
## Building UEFI Firmware
## Building UEFI Firmware for x86-64
To avoid any unnecessary issues, it is recommended to use Ubuntu 18.04 and its default toolset. Any other compatible Linux distribution is otherwise suitable, however it is suggested to use a temporary Docker container with Ubuntu 18.04 for a quick build on an existing Linux machine.

After the successful build, the resulting firmware binaries are available under `Build/CloudHvX64/DEBUG_GCC5/FV` underneath the edk2 checkout.
## Building UEFI Firmware for AArch64

# On an AArch64 machine:
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install uuid-dev nasm iasl build-essential python3-distutils git
$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/tianocore/edk2.git -b master

## Using OVMF Binaries
Any UEFI capable image can be booted using the Cloud Hypervisor specific firmware. Windows guests under Cloud Hypervisor only support UEFI boot, therefore OVMF is mandatory there.
To make Cloud Hypervisor use UEFI boot, pass the `CLOUDHV.fd` file path as an argument to the `--kernel` option. The firmware file will be opened in read only mode.
To make Cloud Hypervisor use UEFI boot, pass the `CLOUDHV.fd` (for x86-64) / `CLOUDHV_EFI.fd` (for AArch64) file path as an argument to the `--kernel` option. The firmware file will be opened in read only mode.
