OVMF is the Open Virtual Machine Firmware: it's open source (BSD licensed) firmware for virtual machines. Currently, that means Qemu/KVM. It has been ported to run under Bhyve too. > > I have to assume this is with ed2k loaded, but I do not > know you are showing me the SMBIOS string value or some > other bios version value. THere are compliance levels > associated with SMBIOS. I guess you mean edk2 (efi development kit 2), not ed2k? I'm showing you the SMBIOS values for the BIOS section. Another example: on my desktop system, 'dmidecode' shows: root@photon:/usr/home/bcran # dmidecode -t bios # dmidecode 3.2 # SMBIOS entry point at 0x7949f000 Found SMBIOS entry point in EFI, reading table from /dev/mem.
