Directly run UEFI applications in qemu
This helper application takes an EFI executable, builds a FAT filesystem around it, adds a startup script and runs qemu to run the executable.
It does not require root permissions since it uses the fatfs
crate to build the filesystem image directly without involving mkfs, mount,
etc.
uefi-run can be installed from the snapstore:
bash
snap install --edge uefi-run
The confinement of this snap is somewhat strict. It can only access non-hidden files in the user's
home directory. Also it has no network access.
You can install cargo and rust using the rustup tool:
bash
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh
After cargo has been installed you can build and install uefi-run:
bash
cargo install uefi-run
