A while ago[1], Alex Floyd of PreOS Security wrote a shell script to help codify this wiki article[2] by Laslo Ersek of Red Hat, setting up a UEFI SMM/OVMF testing environment for Fedora-based systems. Recently, Alex updated this script to work with the recently-released Fedora 26. Quoting email from Alex on the changes in this release:

The build script has been updated for Fedora 26 support. It now uses the native QEMU 2.9 library from Fedora 26 and no longer builds a snapshot of QEMU 2.9 which makes some new testing possibilities available.

Laszlo Ersek of Red Hat wrote a wiki article on tianocore.org[1], showing how to setup the EDK2 with QEMU/OVMF for testing SMM code using Fedora.

Recently, Alex Floyd of PreOS Security wrote a shell script to codify this wiki article[2].

Laszlo’s wiki is dense, I expect this script will be useful for some UEFI firmware engineers and security researchers.

According to Alex, “some things needed tweaking to get to work, and the Windows portion of the tutorial is not included in the script.”
