@ -295,9 +295,37 @@ show QEMU's VGA console window. Note this will disable QEMU's serial output.
|
|||
If you want to check both consoles, use '-serial stdio'.
|
||||
|
||||
Multicore is also supported by QEMU via '-smp n' where n is the number of cores
|
||||
to instantiate. Currently the default U-Boot built for QEMU supports 2 cores.
|
||||
In order to support more cores, you need add additional cpu nodes in the device
|
||||
tree and change CONFIG_MAX_CPUS accordingly.
|
||||
to instantiate. Note, the maximum supported CPU number in QEMU is 255.
|
||||
|
||||
The fw_cfg interface in QEMU also provides information about kernel data, initrd,
|
||||
command-line arguments and more. U-Boot supports directly accessing these informtion
|
||||
from fw_cfg interface, this saves the time of loading them from hard disk or
|
||||
network again, through emulated devices. To use it , simply providing them in
|
||||
QEMU command line:
|
||||
|
||||
$ qemu-system-i386 -nographic -bios path/to/u-boot.rom -m 1024 -kernel /path/to/bzImage
|
||||
-append 'root=/dev/ram console=ttyS0' -initrd /path/to/initrd -smp 8
|
||||
|
||||
Note: -initrd and -smp are both optional
|
||||
|
||||
Then start QEMU, in U-Boot command line use the following U-Boot command to setup kernel:
|
||||
|
||||
=> qfw
|
||||
qfw - QEMU firmware interface
|
||||
|
||||
Usage:
|
||||
qfw <command>
|
||||
- list : print firmware(s) currently loaded
|
||||
- cpus : print online cpu number
|
||||
- load <kernel addr> <initrd addr> : load kernel and initrd (if any) and setup for zboot
|
||||
|
||||
=> qfw load
|
||||
loading kernel to address 01000000 size 5d9d30 initrd 04000000 size 1b1ab50
|
||||
|
||||
Here the kernel (bzImage) is loaded to 01000000 and initrd is to 04000000. Then, 'zboot'
|
||||
can be used to boot the kernel:
|
||||
|
||||
=> zboot 02000000 - 04000000 1b1ab50
