* Also independently of the iPXE NIC drivers, Intel's proprietary E1000 NIC
- driver (PROEFI) can be embedded in the OVMF image at build time:
-
- - Download UEFI drivers for the e1000 NIC
- - http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=17515&lang=eng
- - Install the drivers into a directory called Intel3.5 in your WORKSPACE.
+ driver (from the BootUtil distribution) can be embedded in the OVMF image at
+ build time:
+
+ - Download BootUtil:
+ - Navigate to
+ https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/19186/Ethernet-Intel-Ethernet-Connections-Boot-Utility-Preboot-Images-and-EFI-Drivers
+ - Click the download link for "PREBOOT.EXE".
+ - Accept the Intel Software License Agreement that appears.
+ - Unzip "PREBOOT.EXE" into a separate directory (this works with the
+ "unzip" utility on platforms different from Windows as well).
+ - Copy the "APPS/EFI/EFIx64/E3522X2.EFI" driver binary to
+ "Intel3.5/EFIX64/E3522X2.EFI" in your WORKSPACE.
+ - Intel have stopped distributing an IA32 driver binary (which used to
+ match the filename pattern "E35??E2.EFI"), thus this method will only
+ work for the IA32X64 and X64 builds of OVMF.
- Include the driver in OVMF during the build:
- - Add "-D E1000_ENABLE" to your build command,
+ - Add "-D E1000_ENABLE" to your build command (only when building
+ "OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgIa32X64.dsc" or "OvmfPkg/OvmfPkgX64.dsc").
- For example: "build -D E1000_ENABLE".
* When a matching iPXE driver is configured for a NIC as described above, it
takes priority over other drivers that could possibly drive the card too:
