Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH 1/2] OvmfPkg/build.sh: use newer '-drive if=pflash' syntax when running qemu

["Michael D Kinney" <michael.d.kinney@intel.com>]

Rebecca,

If you are interested, I prototyped using a python
script and POSTBUILD statement in the DSC file to 
support 'run' targets for OVMF in the following
branch.  This potentially allows the same code to
be used for all host OS environments to launch QEMU.

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-staging/tree/Bug_1525_FmpDevicePkg_MultipleControllers_V2/OvmfPkg

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-staging/blob/Bug_1525_FmpDevicePkg_MultipleControllers_V2/OvmfPkg/PostBuild.py

https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-staging/blob/Bug_1525_FmpDevicePkg_MultipleControllers_V2/OvmfPkg/Run.py

Could also be extended to support doing either QEMU or
KVM launch with a -D flag.

Mike
