UEFI Runner

A tool for running and testing UEFI projects.

UEFI Runner is modified from BootUEFI

Overview

UEFI Runner is a tool designed to help developers run and test UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) applications written in Rust. It provides an easy way to launch, debug, and test UEFI applications in a development environment.

Features

• Support for running Rust-based UEFI applications
• Development and testing environment integration
• QEMU integration for virtualized testing

Requirements

• Rust (latest stable version recommended)
• Cargo
• QEMU (for virtualized testing)
• UEFI target toolchain

Installation

cargo install cargo-uefi-runner

Usage

Set uefi-runner as a custom runner in .cargo/config:

[build]
target = "x86_64-unknown-uefi"

[target.x86_64-unknown-uefi]
runner = "uefi-runner"

You can run your rust UEFI application through cargo run or test it throught cargo test.

Configuration

Configuration is done through a through a [package.metadata.bootuefi] table in the Cargo.toml of your project. The following options are available:

[package.metadata.uefi-runner]

# The command to run qemu.
# Set this to an absolute path if your qemu is not in your PATH
qemu = "qemu-system-x86_64"

# The Path to UEFI firmware
bios = "OVMF.fd"

# Additional arguments passed to qemu for non-test executables
run-args = []

# Additional arguments passed to qemu for test executables
test-args = []

# An exit code that should be considered as success for test executables
test-success-exit-code = 0

# The timeout for running a test
test-timeout = 300

[package.metadata.uefi-runner.copy]
"boot.conf" = "EFI/BOOT/boot.conf"
"kernel.conf" = "EFI/BOOT/kernel.conf"
(You can specify any number of them.)
