About This Repo

===============



Mu Tiano Platform is a public repository of `Project Mu`_ based firmware that targets the open-source `QEMU`_

processor emulator.



This repository provides readily available, free, and feature rich platforms that serve as an example for feature

enablement and validation, demonstrating how a single firmware codebase can be shared across multiple products and

architectures, promoting serviceable, maintainable, up-to-date and secure firmware.



A goal of this repository is to reduce the overhead of testing and evaluating common functionality before deployment

to physical hardware.



Current Platforms Supported

---------------------------



- `QemuQ35Pkg`_



  - `QemuQ35Pkg Detailed Info`_



  - Intel Q35 chipset with ICH9 south bridge

Getting Started

===============



Individual platforms are maintained in the `Platforms` directory. Each platform directory has a readme file and a

`Docs` folders with more detailed platform-specific information.



Build Instructions

------------------



1. If you are new to the "stuart" build system in general refer to the following for a general overview

   `How to Build in edk2 with Stuart`_.



2. For instructions specific to this repo refer to `building QemuQ35Pkg`_.



You can then apply that knowledge to build the platform you're interested in with the `PlatformBuild.py` files located

in the platform directory.

Releases

--------



It is recommended to consume binaries built from the code in this repo (outside of development purposes) through a

release.



Releases are tagged in the repository and are available for download from the `Releases`_ page. Each release contains

release notes describing the changes since the last release that highlight important changes such as breaking changes.



A semantic versioning process (version is `<major.minor.patch>`) is followed with the following rules:



- Major Version



  - A major version change indicates a breaking change. This means that the release is not backward

    compatible with the previous release. This is typically a change to the API or ABI of a component.



- Minor Version



  - A minor version change indicates a new feature or enhancement. This means that the release is backward

    compatible with the previous release but includes new functionality or a major rework of existing functionality.



- Patch Version



  - A patch version change indicates a bug fix or any other change. This means that the release is backward compatible

    with the previous release and contains no new functionality.



Every release includes `DEBUG` and `RELEASE` binaries for all supported platforms. `DEBUG` is recommended to debug

a release and `RELEASE` used for non-debug scenarios. If you file a bug and a "debug log" is requested, that needs to

be produced from the `DEBUG` build of the release.



Every release is published as both a `NuGet`_ package and a zip file. Both formats contain the exact same content and

both can be manually downloaded or used in an automated build environment.



NuGet packages are published in the `Mu Tiano Platforms GitHub NuGet Feed`_ and zip files are attached as "assets" to

the release on GitHub.



- Zip File Usage Example: Scroll to the bottom of the `v1.0.0`_ release page and you will see an "Assets"

  section that contains the zip files for that release. You can manually download the appropriate zip file there.



- NuGet Package Usage Example: A tool like `dependabot`_ can easily hook into the NuGet feed to automatically download

  releases into a project based on the semantic versioning rules described above.



Outside of topics that should be filed as an issue, please feel free to ask questions about the project in general or

a particular release in the `Discussions`_ area.



.. _`v1.0.0`: https://github.com/microsoft/mu_tiano_platforms/releases/tag/v1.0.0

.. _`dependabot`: https://docs.github.com/en/code-security/dependabot/dependabot-version-updates/configuring-dependabot-version-updates

.. _`Discussions`: https://github.com/microsoft/mu_tiano_platforms/discussions/categories/general

Feature Branches

----------------



1. Create a branch for involved feature development on your fork of the repository.



2. When the feature is ready, submit a pull request.



You can choose to squash all commits into one feature commit into `mu_tiano_platforms/main` or prepare

a series of commits exactly as you would like them to appear and the pull request will be rebased on top of the

`mu_tiano_platforms/main` branch.



A template for `Branch_ReadMe.md` can be found in `docs/BranchReadMe_template.md`



Features must be "on by default" in all applicable platforms to avoid build switch complexity that leads to stale

feature coverage.



Repository Origin

=================



`QemuQ35Pkg` in this repository was originally derived from `OvmfPkg` in TianoCore. The package is considered

stable so regular syncing is not performed with the upstream package. Select changes are cherry-picked based on

functional or security importance. Additional cherry picks are welcome if they are necessary for you to be productive

with the platform  in this repository.



⚠️ Security Warning

===================



This repository and all code within it is not part of an officially supported customer facing product and therefore

long term servicing is not supported. All code in this repository is provided as-is and is not intended to be used

in a production system and may not be suitable in a production system.
