QEMU 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.
|
|
Both 32-bit ARM and AArch64 are supported.
|
|
|
|
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/ARMv8 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.
|
|
|
|
See :doc:`../../develop/devicetree/dt_qemu` for information on how to see
|
|
the devicetree actually generated by QEMU.
|
|
|
|
Building U-Boot
|
|
---------------
|
|
Set the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable as usual, and run:
|
|
|
|
- For ARM::
|
|
|
|
make qemu_arm_defconfig
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
- For AArch64::
|
|
|
|
make qemu_arm64_defconfig
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
Running U-Boot
|
|
--------------
|
|
The minimal QEMU command line to get U-Boot up and running is:
|
|
|
|
- For ARM::
|
|
|
|
qemu-system-arm -machine virt -nographic -bios u-boot.bin
|
|
|
|
- For AArch64::
|
|
|
|
qemu-system-aarch64 -machine virt -nographic -cpu cortex-a57 -bios u-boot.bin
|
|
|
|
Note that for some odd reason qemu-system-aarch64 needs to be explicitly
|
|
told to use a 64-bit CPU or it will boot in 32-bit mode. The -nographic argument
|
|
ensures that output appears on the terminal. Use Ctrl-A X to quit.
|
|
|
|
Additional persistent U-Boot environment support can be added as follows:
|
|
|
|
- Create envstore.img using qemu-img::
|
|
|
|
qemu-img create -f raw envstore.img 64M
|
|
|
|
- Add a pflash drive parameter to the command line::
|
|
|
|
-drive if=pflash,format=raw,index=1,file=envstore.img
|
|
|
|
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 video console, remove "-nographic" and add e.g.::
|
|
|
|
-serial stdio -device VGA
|
|
|
|
- To add a Serial ATA disk via an Intel ICH9 AHCI controller, pass e.g.::
|
|
|
|
-drive if=none,file=disk.img,format=raw,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 USB keyboard attached to an emulated xHCI controller, pass e.g.::
|
|
|
|
-device qemu-xhci,id=xhci -device usb-kbd,bus=xhci.0
|
|
|
|
- To add an NVMe disk, pass e.g.::
|
|
|
|
-drive if=none,file=disk.img,id=mydisk -device nvme,drive=mydisk,serial=foo
|
|
|
|
- To add a random number generator, pass e.g.::
|
|
|
|
-device virtio-rng-pci
|
|
|
|
These have been tested in QEMU 2.9.0 but should work in at least 2.5.0 as well.
|
|
|
|
Booting distros
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
It is possible to install and boot a standard Linux distribution using
|
|
qemu_arm64 by setting up a root disk::
|
|
|
|
qemu-img create root.img 20G
|
|
|
|
then using the installer to install. For example, with Debian 12::
|
|
|
|
qemu-system-aarch64 \
|
|
-machine virt -cpu cortex-a53 -m 4G -smp 4 \
|
|
-bios u-boot.bin \
|
|
-serial stdio -device VGA \
|
|
-nic user,model=virtio-net-pci \
|
|
-device virtio-rng-pci \
|
|
-device qemu-xhci,id=xhci \
|
|
-device usb-kbd -device usb-tablet \
|
|
-drive if=virtio,file=debian-12.0.0-arm64-netinst.iso,format=raw,readonly=on,media=cdrom \
|
|
-drive if=virtio,file=root.img,format=raw,media=disk
|
|
|
|
The output will be something like this::
|
|
|

Welcome to GRUB!
|
|
|
|
Standard boot looks through various available devices and finds the virtio
|
|
disks, then boots from the first one. After a second or so the grub menu appears
|
|
and you can work through the installer flow normally.
|
|
|
|
After the installation, you can boot into the installed system by running QEMU
|
|
again without the drive argument corresponding to the installer CD image.
|
|
|
|
Enabling TPMv2 support
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
To emulate a TPM the swtpm package may be used. It can be built from the
|
|
following repositories:
|
|
|
|
https://github.com/stefanberger/swtpm.git
|
|
|
|
Swtpm provides a socket for the TPM emulation which can be consumed by QEMU.
|
|
|
|
In a first console invoke swtpm with::
|
|
|
|
swtpm socket --tpmstate dir=/tmp/mytpm1 \
|
|
--ctrl type=unixio,path=/tmp/mytpm1/swtpm-sock --log level=20
|
|
|
|
In a second console invoke qemu-system-aarch64 with::
|
|
|
|
-chardev socket,id=chrtpm,path=/tmp/mytpm1/swtpm-sock \
|
|
-tpmdev emulator,id=tpm0,chardev=chrtpm \
|
|
-device tpm-tis-device,tpmdev=tpm0
|
|
|
|
Enable the TPM on U-Boot's command line with::
|
|
|
|
tpm2 startup TPM2_SU_CLEAR
|
|
|
|
Debug UART
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
The debug UART on the ARM virt board uses these settings::
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_DEBUG_UART=y
|
|
CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_PL010=y
|
|
CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_BASE=0x9000000
|
|
CONFIG_DEBUG_UART_CLOCK=0
