SeaVGABIOS is the -default VGA BIOS on [QEMU](http://www.qemu.org/). SeaVGABIOS can also -run natively on some X86 VGA hardware with -[coreboot](http://www.coreboot.org/). - -Building SeaVGABIOS -=================== - -To build SeaVGABIOS, obtain the [code](Download), run `make -menuconfig` and select the type of VGA BIOS to build in the "VGA ROM" -menu. Once selected, run `make` and the final VGA BIOS binary will be -located in "out/vgabios.bin". - -The choice of available VGA BIOSes within "make menuconfig" is -dependent on whether CONFIG_QEMU, CONFIG_COREBOOT, or CONFIG_CSM is -selected. Also, the debug options under the "Debugging" menu apply to -SeaVGABIOS. All other options found in "make menuconfig" apply only to -SeaBIOS and will not impact the SeaVGABIOS build. - -If SeaVGABIOS is needed for multiple different devices (eg, QEMU's -cirrus emulation and QEMU's "dispi" emulation), then one must compile -SeaVGABIOS multiple times with the appropriate config for each build. - -SeaVGABIOS code -=============== - -The source code for SeaVGABIOS is located in the SeaBIOS -[git repository](Download). The main VGA BIOS code is located in the -"vgasrc/" directory. The VGA BIOS code is always compiled in 16bit -mode. - -The SeaVGABIOS builds to a separate binary from the main SeaBIOS -binary, and much of the VGA BIOS code is separate from the main BIOS -code. However, much of the SeaBIOS -[developer documentation](Developer_Documentation) applies to -SeaVGABIOS. To contribute, please join the -[SeaBIOS mailing list](Mailinglist). |
