Here's how it works:

To build this example a suitable UEFI rust target must be installed first:

```shell
rustup target install x86_64-unknown-uefi
```

To build, pass the `--manifest-path` and `--target` arguments to cargo from the
root of the repository:

```shell
cargo build --manifest-path examples/uefi-demo/Cargo.toml --target x86_64-unknown-uefi
```

The produced UEFI binary can then either be tested on real hardware by booting
it like any other bootloader or directly with QEMU (the firmware location
varies by distro):

```shell
qemu-system-x86_64 -serial stdio -bios /usr/share/edk2-ovmf/x64/OVMF.fd -kernel target/x86_64-unknown-uefi/debug/uefi-demo.efi
```

**NOTE:** the OVMF are not support mouse moving. please run it at VM or your PC if you want to use mouse.
