U-Boot on QEMU's 'virt' machine on ARM
|
||
|
|
======================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
QEMU for ARM supports a special 'virt' machine designed for emulation and
|
||
|
|
virtualization purposes. This document describes how to run U-Boot under it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The 'virt' platform provides the following as the basic functionality:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- A freely configurable amount of CPU cores
|
||
|
|
- U-Boot loaded and executing in the emulated flash at address 0x0
|
||
|
|
- A generated device tree blob placed at the start of RAM
|
||
|
|
- A freely configurable amount of RAM, described by the DTB
|
||
|
|
- A PL011 serial port, discoverable via the DTB
|
||
|
|
- An ARMv7 architected timer
|
||
|
|
- PSCI for rebooting the system
|
||
|
|
- A generic ECAM-based PCI host controller, discoverable via the DTB
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additionally, a number of optional peripherals can be added to the PCI bus.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Building U-Boot
|
||
|
|
---------------
|
||
|
|
Set the CROSS_COMPILE and ARCH=arm environment variables as usual, and run:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
make qemu_arm_defconfig
|
||
|
|
make
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Running U-Boot
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
The minimal QEMU command line to get U-Boot up and running is:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
qemu-system-arm -machine virt,highmem=off -bios u-boot.bin
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The 'highmem=off' parameter to the 'virt' machine is required for PCI to work
|
||
|
|
in U-Boot.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additional peripherals that have been tested to work in both U-Boot and Linux
|
||
|
|
can be enabled with the following command line parameters:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- To add a Serial ATA disk via an Intel ICH9 AHCI controller, pass e.g.:
|
||
|
|
-drive if=none,file=disk.img,id=mydisk -device ich9-ahci,id=ahci -device ide-drive,drive=mydisk,bus=ahci.0
|
||
|
|
- To add an Intel E1000 network adapter, pass e.g.:
|
||
|
|
-netdev user,id=net0 -device e1000,netdev=net0
|
||
|
|
- To add an EHCI-compliant USB host controller, pass e.g.:
|
||
|
|
-device usb-ehci,id=ehci
|
||
|
|
- To add a NVMe disk, pass e.g.:
|
||
|
|
-drive if=none,file=disk.img,id=mydisk -device nvme,drive=mydisk,serial=foo
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These have been tested in QEMU 2.9.0 but should work in at least 2.5.0 as well.
