| 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 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 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.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 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
