I got myself a copy of "Beyond BIOS" to unde= rstand how UEFI works. The project sound very interesting, so if I understand correctly, OVMF only= implements some of the services needed for QEMU support, porting what's pr= esent to MinPlatform and then improving it with the required services will = result in=C2=A0QemuOpenBoardPkg, is that right? So the goal is to allow Min= Platform testing inside QEMU instead of getting a specific board supported = by MinPlatform? I'll use the upcoming months to get up to pace with UEFI with the ressource= s you gave me =F0=9F=98=84 Before starting to write my application I have a few questions, especially = on the prerequisites, on the project page the only one listed is C knowledg= e, is anything else required or recommended ? In case I need to get up to p= ace with something specific :) And thanks for welcoming me in the project !
