OVMF (Open Virtual Machine Firmware) is a build of edk2 designed to be used as firmware for a virtual machine. Tianocore is the name of the upstream development group working on the Open Source EDK II project - see for more information. The reference implementation of the UEFI specifications is called edk2 or EDK II (EFI Development Kit, version 2). UEFI is actually a set of interface specifications, nothing more. There are multiple further bits of terminology here, and things are often confused. In most references here and elsewhere on the net, EFI and UEFI are interchangeable terms to describe the same thing. The U for Unified was added to the name at this point. Later, Intel passed control over the EFI specification to the UEFI Forum and they continued developing newer versions of the specification. It was first seen in the wild on Itanium (ia64) machines and that's where Debian's first support started too. UEFI started life as Intel's EFI specification. See Grub2#UEFI_vs_BIOS_boot for a comparison of BIOS and UEFI boot via GRUB, the default bootloader in Debian. It's a standard specification for the firmware interface on a computer, and it has been implemented by multiple vendors on various platforms. (U)EFI stands for (Unified) Extensible Firmware Interface.
