Structure of Tianocore?

Structure of Tianocore?

[Peter Wiehe]

I have a question for understanding the Tianocore structure:

Correct me, please, if something of the following assumptions is wrong.

a) EmulatorPkg and the Unix and Win32 (Nt32Pkg) package run ontop of an OS.

b) Ovmf runs ontop of Qemu.

c) There is a package which runs ontop of coreboot or SeaBios which can be
run (theoretically) ontop of real hardware and Qemu. On Qemu it is slow, of
course. On real hardware you have to flash the Bios and Uefi which, of
course, can screw up your computer.

Which would be the package mentioned in c)?

Kind regards
Peter

AIUI, coreboot payload support is provided in the Coreboot*Pkg packages.
I've never tried them, but I suspect the tianocore wiki has some
articles on them.

The other package (for running UEFI on top of traditional BIOS, on a
physical machine) is DuetPkg. It's being removed:
